At Lawrence Leonard, Attorney at Law, our attorneys employ a practical, professional approach to help clients seek full and fair compensation, including past and future medical bills, past and future loss of income, and past and future pain and suffering.
TRUSTED NEW YORK ADVISERS EVALUATE THE STRENGTH OF YOUR INJURY CLAIM
In order for a property owner to be found liable for your accident, evidence must be shown to prove that a dangerous condition on the property caused your injury. In addition, generally, at least one of the following must be true:
- The property owner or an employee caused the dangerous condition on the premises.
- The owner or an employee knew about the dangerous condition on the premises and did nothing about it.
- The owner or an employee should have known about the dangerous condition on the premises, as would be expected.
- The property owner made a “special use” of the property.

There are many types of fall cases. There are trips and falls, and there are slips and falls. There are indoor types of these falls, and there are outdoor types of these falls. Slip and fall accidents can occur due to many reasons. Poor lighting, wet floors, highly polished floors, water tracked in from snow and ice, food or beverage spills, and grease or oil on the floor are all common causes of slip and fall cases. Trip and fall accidents can incur due to many reasons as well. Torn carpeting, broken stair treads, cracked flooring, lack of handrails, worn stair nosings, uneven flooring, and stair defects are all common causes of trip and fall cases.
