The Licatesi Law Group is a dedicated personal injury law firm in New York that understands the complexities of slip/trip and fall accidents. The most common site for these falls to occur is on premises due to the negligent property management on the premises. These accidents may occur due to a leak, lack of building management, and an unsafe environment created by the building. If you have experienced a slip/trip and fall accident being aware of your rights and legal remedies is of importance after your accident.

DIFFERENT CAUSES:

As mentioned, accidents can be caused in several ways. One of those ways can be plumbing issues leading to a water leak. These leaks will create puddles and when property managers fail to remedy these leaks slip and fall accidents tend to occur. Accidents may occur due to a lack of warning or use of signs when maintenance issues occur. Property managers must warn individuals of wet floors or areas under repair on the premises and when they fail in their duty it can result in accidents occurring. Furthermore, repairs that are improperly done can result in accidents occurring with property managers attempting to remedy a situation but instead end up causing more issues.

PROVING NEGLIGENCE:

When bringing a lawsuit against a property manager for a slip/trip and fall accident negligence must be proven. To prove negligence, it is necessary to show that the property manager had a duty and failed to ensure the premises were safe and maintained. Showing that there was a failure to repair or provide warnings for hazardous conditions is needed. It is important that this breach of duty was the cause that directly led to your slip/trip and fall accident occurring. Finally, it is important to show you suffered damage, which may include medical costs, pain and suffering, lost wages from work, and any other losses that may result from your accident.
