  • Amazing Firm, they treated me like family, and Peter Bongiorno took my health into consideration and had the case handled swiftly, and reduced the stress on me that would have exasperated my conditions. Peter took his time to research my health conditions in order to make this experience as smooth and un traumatizing as possible. He was always there to answer my text or call without hesitation. The Bongiorno Law Firm is without a doubt the most family like legitimate and professional Firm. I owe them everything, and thank them from the deepest part of my heart. Thank you again, Andrea

Liability: Notice and Creation

A word about Notice and Creation: in most instances, in order to establish liability against the owner or tenant for a slip and fall accident, it must be proven that the owner or tenant (or a contractor hired by an owner or tenant) either created the slippery condition that caused the accident, or had notice of the slippery condition for a sufficient period of time prior to the accident to have afforded them the opportunity to clean up or otherwise remedy the condition.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?

In New York, slip and fall victims have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Once three years pass, you lose the right to pursue compensation from the property owner. It is crucial to act quickly to preserve your right to seek compensation.

When you contact The Bongiorno Law Firm, our New York slip and fall lawyers can review your situation and determine if you have a case. If you hire our firm, we get to work right away pursuing the justice and compensation you need during this difficult time.

Taking Action After a Slip and Fall Injury

Treatment for your injuries should be your top priority after a slip and fall accident. Your health is what is most important. Taking legal action can come later.

After your injuries have been stabilized, make sure to report the accident to the property manager so it can be properly documented. Often, these accidents are reported right after they happen, but you want to make sure. Having official documentation of the accident helps to prove your case.

When possible, victims can gather evidence at the scene, such as pictures or statements from witnesses. However, this is also something our lawyers can handle on your behalf. We know what evidence we need to prove a claim.

Victims should strongly consider contacting an experienced law firm to discuss legal action. The Bongiorno Law Firm can determine if there may be a case and we are prepared to guide you through every stage of the legal process.
