Brooklyn Trip and Fall Lawyer Samantha Kucher Explains the Conditions That May Cause Trip and Fall Accidents in NYC
Apr 19, 2022
April 19, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Brooklyn trip and fall lawyer Samantha Kucher releases a new article (https://www.rrklawgroup.com/trip-and-fall-lawyer/) that explains the conditions that may cause trip and fall accidents in NYC. The lawyer mentions that more than a million people are hurt in falls each year. Although a trip and fall accident might seem simple, it can cause serious injuries, especially to the elderly.
According to the Brooklyn trip and fall lawyer, "Trip and fall accidents are covered under premises liability laws in New York. These state that if you are injured while you are on someone else's property, the owner can be held liable for your injuries if their negligence caused the accident. If you have been injured on another party's property, you may be entitled to compensation from the at-fault party for your injuries."
Attorney Samantha explains how slip and falls accidents can differ from trip or fall accidents. Both of these accidents can be considered premises liability claims. However, slip and fall accidents are caused by slippery surfaces, while trip & fall accidents result from a hazard that causes pedestrians to trip. Slip and fall accidents often cause victims to fall backward, which can lead to back injuries or head injuries. Trip and fall accidents can cause wrist injuries, knee injuries, and facial injuries, from the victim falling forward.
In the article, attorney Kucher also lists the conditions that can lead to trip-and-fall accidents in the article. Premises liability hazards are most common at ground level, and people often don't notice them until it's too late. The hazards included in the list include cable/wires crossing a walkway, uneven/cracked walkways, uneven flooring transitions, unsecured rugs, potholes., dark stairways/hallways, loose handrails, and not closing off hazardous areas.
According to the injury lawyer, “Building owners, building managers, landlords, or anyone who is in control of a property needs to ensure that any hazards that exist be taken care of promptly. If they can’t be fixed immediately, then warning barricades must be erected so pedestrians are aware of the hazard and can avoid them. If this doesn’t happen, the owner or person in control can be held liable for injuries and damages caused by the hazard.”
Lastly, the accident attorney emphasizes that a victim of an accident caused by other people’s negligence may be entitled to compensation. Having an experienced attorney when making a claim for injuries is important to ensure that the victim receives the compensation they deserve.
