How to Prove Liability

To recover compensation after a slip and fall accident in New York, you must show that a property owner or other responsible party failed to maintain a reasonably safe property, causing your injuries. Insurance companies often argue that the hazard was not their responsibility or that the injured person was at fault. Building a strong claim requires prompt action, compelling evidence, and a strategic legal approach.

Our team works to establish liability by proving:

• Duty of Care: The property owner or person responsible for maintaining the property had a legal duty to keep the premises reasonably safe.
• Breach of Duty: They failed to meet that obligation through careless, reckless, or negligent actions.
• Causation: Their actions directly caused the accident and your injuries.
• Damages: You suffered measurable losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or other financial and personal hardships.
