New York Slip and Fall Accidents
The average New Yorker takes thousands of steps every day — most of them on sidewalks, in stores, and at work. Under New York premises liability law, property owners owe a duty of reasonable care to their guests, tenants, and visitors. When they fail in that duty and you get hurt, you shouldn’t have to pay the price.
Injuries That Change Lives
Slip and fall accidents cause serious harm, including:
- Elbow and shoulder dislocations and fractures
- Hip and back soft-tissue injuries and bone fractures
- Head and face injuries, including concussion
- Miscarriage in pregnancy
- Scars, permanent injuries, and interference with your private life
Premises Law: Who Pays for Your Injuries?
A property owner may be held responsible for your fall when any of the following is true:
- The property owner (or their managers, employees, or staff) caused the danger;
- The property owner or their staff knew about the danger but ignored it; or
- The property owner was notified of the hazard but didn't resolve it — by fixing it, blocking it off, or posting warning signs.
Putting a Price on Your Injuries
To value your claim, we examine the extent of your injury, how long you were hospitalized, surgeries you’ve had and may still need, permanent injuries and scarring, future medical needs, lost wages, pain and suffering, any percentage of fault, and aggravation of pre-existing conditions.
Filing a Slip and Fall Claim
A successful claim can recover your current and future medical bills, lost wages and future income, pain and suffering, and compensation for scars and permanent injuries. Injured New Yorkers only have a certain amount of time to file a claim — so don’t wait to find out where you stand.
Don't Take Our Word for It
"They took my complex case when other firms refused — and after fighting for more than three years, they won a $4.2 million judgment for me."
"Thanks to their work on my case, I will be able to live comfortably for the rest of my life. I can’t thank the firm enough."
"The best law firm I could have asked for. They treated me like family — not like a case file — and stood by me through everything."

- You fell on a slippery substance on stairs or in a walkway
- You were hurt by a dangerous condition at an apartment complex

How We Build Strong New York Slip & Fall Cases
At the Law Firm of Weiser & Associates, we offer personalized attention and aggressive representation to persons who’ve suffered serious injuries due to the negligent actions of others.
A Boutique Approach to Personal Injury Law
We take pride in offering a boutique approach to personal injury law. Our attorneys personally respond to calls and emails — you work with your lawyer, not a call center.
Act Fast, Preserve the Evidence
After a fall, report it to police or security, obtain witness information, and consult a lawyer to determine your eligibility for damages. The sooner we start, the stronger your claim.
Prove the Owner's Responsibility
Property owners must maintain safe premises and post visible warnings about dangerous conditions. When maintenance failures or inadequate warnings lead to injuries, we pursue damages against the owner or operator.
Results That Speak for Themselves
We have recovered many millions of dollars in settlements and jury verdicts on behalf of our clients — including $900,000 for a client who slipped on a kitchen floor and needed back surgery and physical therapy, and $2.5 million for a slip & fall client who suffered debilitating injuries to her neck, back, and knees.
New York Slip, Trip & Fall Cases We Handle
Slip & Fall on Wet Commercial Floors
Wet floors in stores, restaurants, and other commercial spaces cause thousands of falls. Owners must clean up hazards or post visible warnings — when they don’t, they can be held liable.
Trip & Fall on Public Sidewalks
Soil compaction causes concrete slabs to sink or separate, tree roots crack surfaces, and re-freezing winter water penetrates cracks until they break into holes. Cracked and uneven sidewalks are a leading cause of serious falls in New York.
Dangerous Property Conditions
From slippery substances on stairs to poorly maintained walkways, dangerous conditions on someone else’s property can support a premises liability claim when the owner failed to fix or warn.
Falls at Apartment Complexes
Landlords owe tenants and guests a duty of reasonable care in lobbies, hallways, stairs, and common areas. We hold negligent landlords and building managers accountable.
Falls at Work & Construction Sites
Falls in work environments and on construction sites can cause catastrophic injuries. Our results include a $5 million recovery for a workplace fall that caused severe neck and back injuries.
Negligent Security & Assaults at Businesses
Premises liability also covers physical assaults at businesses that failed to provide adequate security. Our firm recovered $10 million in a negligent-security failure-to-protect case.
