Experienced Long Island Slip And Fall Accident Attorney

At David Resnick & Associates, P.C., our dedicated slip and fall accident lawyers have represented Long Island residents since 1998, ensuring they have direct access to the legal representation they deserve to pursue actual results after a New York property owner or manager’s negligence has caused their injuries.

From the East River to Montauk, Long Island is the largest island adjoining the continental USA, extending over 118 miles in length and 20 miles in width. When excluding Brooklyn and Queens, the population is 3 million; when including those two boroughs, it is 7 million, which is one-third of New York State’s population.

In addition to the people who call it home, an estimated 291 million people visited Long Island last year, spending $79 billion and having an economic impact of $123 billion. The spending supports nearly 100,000 jobs directly and indirectly.

The traffic throughout the island provides more than economic stability; it also contributes to the causes of slip and fall accidents, thanks to the additional wear and tear on restaurants and bars, local retailers, and businesses throughout the area. When locals or visitors are injured in slip and fall accidents caused by the property owner, manager, or operator’s negligence, we want to help them hold the liable party, or combination of parties, accountable for their complete financial recovery.

HOW CAN DAVID RESNICK & ASSOCIATED PROVE MY LONG ISLAND SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENT WAS THE RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE?

For nearly 30 years, our Long Island slip and fall accident attorneys have helped our fellow New Yorkers pursue negligent property owners, operators, and managers for their complete financial recovery needs by proving the four key elements necessary to win their claims.

Proving negligence was a factor in Long Island slip and falls claims requires:

• Duty of Care

The first factor involves demonstrating that the property owner or operator owed a duty of care to our clients. This duty is a legal obligation to act with reasonable care to avoid causing harm to others.

• Breach of Duty

The second factor is proving that the property owner or operator breached the duty of care owed to our clients. A breach occurs when they fail to act as a reasonably prudent person would under similar circumstances. This could involve actions like failing to address known hazards on their property or failing to warn visitors of their existence.

• Causation

The third factor establishes a causal connection between the property owner or operator’s breach of duty and our client’s injuries or damages. This requires demonstrating that their actions or omissions directly led to the harm suffered by our client.

• Damages

The fourth and final factor is proving that our client suffered actual damages due to the property owner or operator’s breach of duty. Damages can include physical injuries, emotional distress, financial losses, and other tangible or intangible harms.

Proving slip and fall liability typically involves demonstrating that the property owner or responsible party was negligent in maintaining the premises, which directly led to the slip and fall accident. We can help. You do not have to face an intimidating property owner, operator, attorney, or insurance representative alone.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER BEING HURT IN A LONG ISLAND SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENT?

All Long Island slip and fall accidents and injuries are unique. This means that some people may be too injured to take any steps to help solidify their personal injury claim because they were rushed to the closest hospital before they could understand what happened.

If you are physically able, here are steps you can take to strengthen your Long Island slip and fall case and help prove liability:

• Document the Scene

Document the scene immediately after the slip and fall incident if you can. Take photographs or videos of the area where the accident occurred, including the hazard that caused the fall — whether a wet floor, uneven surface, or falling debris — and capture relevant details, like poor lighting or lack of warning signs contributing to your accident and injuries.

• Report the Incident

Report the slip and fall accident immediately to the property owner, manager, or supervisor. Ensure you get a copy of the incident report if one is filed to create an official report.

• Gather Witness Statements

If there were any witnesses to the accident, obtain their contact information and statements regarding what they saw. Witness testimony can corroborate your account of the incident and strengthen your case.

• Seek Medical Attention

Seek medical attention promptly, even if your injuries seem minor. Your well-being is the priority, and even seemingly minimal injuries can turn into more significant medical problems, like head and brain injuries, neck and spine injuries, or other internal injuries that can only be diagnosed by a professional. The sooner your injuries are documented, the less you are at risk for hidden injuries that cause severe bodily harm when going undiagnosed. In addition, medical records can serve as crucial evidence of the extent and nature of your injuries, linking them directly to the slip and fall incident.

Once you have sought medical care, understand the extent of your injuries, and have a treatment plan in place, contact our skilled Long Island slip and fall accident and injuries attorneys. We can take the lead in your case so you can focus on your recovery instead of battling the insurance company for the compensation you deserve. That’s our job, and we take it very seriously.

Our dedicated Long Island slip and fall lawyers will assess the strength of your case and determine the potential value of your claim based on factors such as the severity of your injuries, the extent of your damages, and the liability of the parties involved.
