Angelina Alfaro
My husband and I were in a car accident in 2021 and the Bongiorno Law Firm was recommended by a friend. My case was settled this year and although it was a lengthy process everyone working on our case was always helpful and good at following up with us. The Bongiorno team was always available to answer any questions we had and provided the information and guidance we needed as this was our first time dealing with a No Fault case. They not only provided us with legal advice and representation but were diligent in connecting us with the proper agencies for medical treatments wich was of the utmost importance for treating our injuries. We want to express our sincere gratitude to the entire firm and to some of the members that worked on our case: Kristina Washington, Gabriella Weinberger, Pamela Rodriguez, and special shoutout to Keri Lyn Timlin and Daisy Alonso-Bautista for all their time and compassionate profesionalism, and of course Richard Bongiorno who was always just a phone call or text away. I've already recommended them to some friends and will continue to do so as these guys are the real deal. No scams, no having to chase them. Real people working for you and for the best outcome. With over 40 years in service when you choose the Bongiornos, there is no room for regrets.
John Volikas
The Bongiorno Law firm is great. John took excellent care of me with my slip and fall case. He kept me updated on everything going on and got me a settlement that I was more than happy with.
Janairy Paulino
I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from this law firm! From the very beginning, Richard and his son were extremely supportive, professional, and hands-on throughout my entire case. What really stood out to me was how involved they were. Sometimes you deal with law firm owners who aren’t very hands-on, but that was definitely not my experience here. Richard and his son made sure I was informed, communicated with me well, and genuinely made me feel like my case mattered. My settlement was completed within the year, which I was very happy with, and the entire process moved much faster than I expected. The communication, professionalism, and overall service were amazing. I truly appreciate everything this firm did for me and would absolutely recommend this law firm to anyone looking for people who are knowledgeable, supportive, and actually care about their clients! P.S if you refer someone you get a nice gift 😊 Thank you daisy for making the funds quickly accessible to me. Will be coming back!

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.
