Long Island Slip & Fall Accident Lawyer

Trip & Fall Accident Cases in Long Island

When one is a guest or visitor to a property, it is expected that the property will be maintained to a degree that it is safe for those who visit.  When the floor is wet, has uneven walking surfaces or there are dangerous hazards that can cause slip and fall or trip and fall injuries, it is likely that the owner or manager of the property would be considered negligent.  Many of the injuries that result in these accidents are extremely severe, including fractures, head injuries, spinal injuries and even fatalities.  If you or a loved one has suffered from such an injury, it is crucial that you act quickly and contact a Long Island personal injury attorney.  At 02law, the legal team is very experienced in assisting clients in the claims process in such cases and will immediately initiate the crucial actions for your case.  We provide high quality legal representation to clients throughout the Long Island, Nassau, Suffolk & Queens areas.

Injured in a Trip & Fall or Slip & Fall Accident?

If you have suffered a slip & fall accident and you consider that the property owner is responsible, documenting the case could be vital.  Photographs of the area in which the accident occurred should be taken immediately, as the wet floor or other walking surface hazard is usually quickly cleaned up.  Obtaining the names, addresses and phone numbers of any witnesses to the incident is important.  The most urgent matter is getting immediate medical attention, as closed-head injuries can be extremely dangerous and if not immediately treated can result in loss of life or very serious medical condition. 

It is critical that you contact our firm as soon as possible after the accident.  Our investigative team can document your case and acquire the evidence that will be needed in filing a claim for compensation.  In some cases, the property owner may try to discuss the case with you or offer you a quick settlement.  Never accept a settlement in a slip and fall or trip and fall accident without first getting legal representation from our firm.  Fast settlements are almost always far lower in value than you could expect when represented by our skilled legal team.  Moving quickly in the case and contacting us before time passes is important when seeking maximum compensation in the case.
