New York Law Allows Victims to Hold Landowners Responsible for Preventable Injuries

If you fell and suffered injuries in Riverhead or elsewhere in Suffolk County, you may be able to develop a claim and hold the property owner or the current occupier liable. According to the New York Bar Association, when a landowner or another responsible party is aware of a fall hazard—or should be aware of the hazard but takes little to no action—they may be liable for the victim’s injuries and other damages.

This applies to slip and falls, trip and falls, and falls from a height. New York State even has special laws in place that offer additional protections to hold a landowner liable for construction workers hurt when they fall from an elevated height.

There are many types of hazards that can cause falls for customers, guests, and others on a property, including:

• Trip hazards, such as items and cords in the walkway
• Unmarked steps or changes in elevation
• Uneven stairs
• Broken sidewalks, potholes, rolled or torn carpets, and broken tile
• Uneven surfaces
• Spills or leaks
• Tracked rain or snow not cleaned up after a weather event
• Poor maintenance
• Missing or broken handrails
• Failure to properly perform snow removal
• Poorly maintained or broken railings on balconies and patios

If your fall occurred because of any of these hazards or for another similar reason, reach out to Rosenberg & Gluck, L.L.P. now by calling (631) 451-7900. Our staff will review your fall and determine your options for taking legal action.

Recoverable Damages After a Slip and Fall Injury in Riverhead

The damages you may be able to recover based on your slip and fall injuries depend on several factors, including:

• The severity of your fall injuries and the cost of your treatment
• The additional losses you sustained as a result
• The documentation of your losses

Our team will identify your economic and non-economic damages before we ever file your case. We will document each of these categories, which will provide evidence to back our demand for compensation for the damages you suffered.

The types of recoverable damages in a slip and fall case include:

• Expenses you had to pay, including current and future treatment costs and other out-of-pocket expenses
• Financial losses you suffered, usually related to your time away from work because of your injuries and treatment
• Intangible damages, including your physical pain and suffering, your emotional distress, and other non-economic losses

Wrongful death damages may also be available under certain circumstances if the fall victim passed away from their injuries. We can review your case to find out if you or other family members of the victim may qualify for this type of recovery.

Let Us Get to Work as Soon as Possible After Your Fall

Contact our team for help as soon as your injuries allow. We may be able to uncover evidence that would disappear later on, and this also allows us to get started on your case quicker.

Under New York Civil Practice Law & Rules § 214, we generally have three years to file a lawsuit based on this type of injury. However, this is not always the case. The deadline is considerably shorter if your injuries occurred on public property and we would need to sue a city, county, state, or federal government agency. Additionally, wrongful death actions have their own time period.
