New York Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer

Don’t let a negligent property owner off the hook. We know how to build strong slip and fall cases—and win.

Advocacy for fall injury victims

Slips, trips, and falls happen every day in New York City, from wet subway station steps to icy sidewalks in Lower Manhattan. These accidents can cause painful injuries and serious financial burdens. Mason Law PLLC helps clients throughout Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Williamsburg hold property owners accountable when negligence causes dangerous conditions. As part of our broader personal injury practice, we bring over two decades of legal experience to helping fall victims recover.

Common causes of slip, trip, and fall accidents

Falls can happen almost anywhere when property owners neglect safety. Common hazards include:

• Slippery supermarket or restaurant floors after spills
• Snow and ice left uncleared outside buildings
• Uneven sidewalks, broken pavement, or potholes
• Poor lighting in stairwells or parking garages
• Loose rugs, mats, or electrical cords

Whether you slipped on an unmarked wet floor or tripped over cracked pavement, Mason Law PLLC investigates every detail to show how the hazard should have been prevented.

In New York, property owners and tenants who control property must maintain safe conditions for visitors.

Injuries from serious falls

Even what seems like a simple fall can result in serious harm. We commonly see sprains, broken hips, concussions, spinal injuries, and fractures. For older adults, these injuries can lead to lasting disability. When falls occur in long-term care facilities, they may also signal poor staffing or supervision, which can connect to nursing home negligence claims.

Premises liability in NY

Premises liability is the legal principle that holds owners responsible when unsafe property conditions cause injury. To succeed in a slip and fall claim, we must prove:

1. A dangerous condition existed.
   
2. The property owner knew or should have known about it.
   
3. They failed to fix or warn about the hazard.
   
   

This framework applies whether the fall happened in a private building, a retail store, or on city property.

Proving negligence in slip and fall cases

 Gathering evidence is crucial. Mason Law PLLC works quickly to collect:

• Incident reports from staff or management
• Photos and videos of the hazard
• Surveillance footage when available
• Witness statements from those who saw the fall
• Maintenance logs showing cleaning schedules or neglect

We use this evidence to prove negligence and counter claims that the accident was solely your fault.
