SLIP TRIP & FALL
FIGHTING FOR THE INJURED ACROSS NYC
FALLS HAPPEN FAST. WE MOVE FASTER.
When you slip, trip, or fall on someone else’s property, it’s easy for others to assume the accident was your fault. But in many cases, the real cause is something much deeper—a property owner’s failure to keep their premises safe.
At Luis Guerrero Law, we know how serious fall injuries can be. We also know how quickly landlords, business owners, and their insurance companies try to shift blame. Our job is to protect you, uncover the truth, and fight for the full compensation you deserve—with skill, urgency, and compassion.
WHO’S LIABLE FOR A SLIP OR TRIP AND FALL ACCIDENT?
While some falls are due to personal error, many are the direct result of hazardous property conditions—like broken stairs, wet floors, poor lighting, or debris left in walkways. When a property owner fails to take reasonable steps to prevent a fall, they can be held legally responsible under New York’s premises liability laws.
Our firm builds strong cases by proving:
-
The hazard was known or should have been known
-
The owner or manager failed to fix it or warn you
-
The unsafe condition caused your fall and injuries
Whether your accident happened in a grocery store, apartment lobby, parking lot, or sidewalk, you have rights—and we’re here to protect them.
INJURIES CAUSED BY SLIP AND FALL ACCIDENTS
Not every fall leads to a lawsuit—but when it does, the damage is often serious. Falls are among the leading causes of catastrophic injuries in New York City, especially among seniors, construction workers, and nursing home residents.
Common injuries we see include:
-
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
-
Spinal cord damage (including paralysis)
-
Fractured hips, wrists, or ankles
-
Torn ligaments and soft tissue damage
-
Permanent mobility loss or long-term pain
The CDC reports that falls account for over 1 in 3 traumatic brain injuries, and OSHA ranks falls as the #1 cause of fatal injuries on construction sites. The consequences are real—and so is the need for experienced legal help.
WHY YOU SHOULDN’T HANDLE THIS ALONE
Fall cases are often dismissed by insurance companies as “minor accidents.” That’s why it’s critical to work with a lawyer who treats your case with the seriousness it deserves.
At Luis Guerrero Law, we:
-
Investigate the scene before it changes
-
Demand preservation of surveillance footage
-
Interview witnesses and building staff
-
Work with medical experts to document your injuries
-
Handle all communications with insurance companies
We don’t back down. We prepare your case like we’re going to trial—because that’s how we protect your future.
