Nassau County slip and fall lawyer for premises liability claims

Hazards In Stores, Buildings, And Walkways

Wet supermarket aisles near Green Acres Mall, icy steps at apartment entrances, broken handrails, dim hallways, loose mats, and cluttered walkways all lead to preventable falls. As a New York premises liability attorney, the Law Offices of Laurence Rogers helps Nassau County and Queens neighbors hold property owners accountable when careless maintenance causes injury.

How We Prove Negligence And Liability

Premises liability cases turn on notice and reasonableness. We gather photos, incident reports, witness statements, cleaning logs, and video when available to show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it. We also document injuries and the impact on work and daily life so insurers see the full picture.

If your fall involved a head impact or concussion, read about symptoms and proof on brain injuries. To see how a premises claim fits within overall strategy, visit personal injury for steps from intake through resolution.

Common Fall Injuries And Recovery

Falls often cause fractures in the wrist, hip, or ankle, torn ligaments, back and neck injuries, and head trauma. Treatment may include imaging, therapy, injections, or surgery, along with time away from work. We calculate medical bills, wage loss, out of pocket costs, and pain and suffering, then negotiate for a number that reflects real recovery needs.

What To Do After A Fall

Report the incident to a manager or owner and ask for a copy of any incident report. Photograph the condition before it changes. Get names and contact information for witnesses. Seek medical care right away, even for soreness or headaches. Before recorded statements, let counsel handle insurer calls so your words are clear and accurate.
