Consult the Westchester County slip and fall lawyer at Segan, Nemerov & Singer P.C to determine whether you are owed damages for the negligence of a property or business owner.
Our Westchester County slip and fall personal injury lawyers can help you understand the law. There are many factors to consider, such as previous complaints about an existing hazard, determining negligence of a business or property owner, and determining negligence, if any, of the individual injured. These are only a few of the factors that a personal injury firm will analyze when investigating your case.
There are several types of slip and fall accidents including slippery surface falls, stairway accidents, fall from a terrace or balcony, parking ramp falls, sidewalk falls and bathtub and shower falls, to name a few.
