How Much is My Long Island Walmart Fall Accident Case Worth?

Every case is different, and what an appropriate payout might look like in your case will depend on the expenses and losses you incurred because of your fall. Our attorneys identify and document a wide range of costs for clients and develop a strong case to seek a payout based on them.  Fall injury cases frequently include some or all of the following types of damages: 
  • Medical treatment and care expenses
  • Future medical costs
  • Lost wages and other income
  • Loss of earning capacity due to lasting injuries or disabilities
  • Related expenses such as transportation, mobility devices, and home renovations for accessibility
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Diminished quality of life
  • Other intangible losses
Although most fall injuries are relatively minor, the National Safety Council (NSC) listed falls as the second most common preventable fatal injury in the United States in 2023. If your loved one died from fall injuries, we are deeply sorry for the pain and grief you are suffering. We extend our sympathies and want to fight for the justice your family deserves.  A Long Island wrongful death lawyer from our team will work with immediate family members or the victim’s personal representative (meaning the person appointed by the Surrogate Court to act on behalf of the victim’s estate,)  to build and handle a claim.

Our Attorneys Know How New York Laws Apply to Walmart Slip and Fall Accident Cases

When someone suffers slip and fall injuries on Long Island, New York, premises liability law governs how our attorneys handle the case. In general, these laws hold property owners and occupiers responsible for maintaining reasonably safe conditions, and they are accountable for harm that occurs when they do not.  In these cases, the potentially liable parties often include: 
  • The property owner, which is often Walmart, but could be another party
  • Lessees, which is Walmart, unless the lessee owns the property
  • A property management company that oversees maintenance on the premises
In 1986, Gordon v. American Museum of Natural History, 67 N.Y.2d 836 created case law that says the hazard that caused the fall must be visible and apparent long enough for staff to discover and correct it. This means they must know about the condition or should have known about it. Referred to as “constructive notice,” this is often a key component of these cases. Our Long Island Walmart slip and fall lawyers will work to establish that either constructive or actual notice, (i.e., that the party responsible for safe conditions where the fall happened, were actually aware of the dangerous condition,) existed, sufficient to support a finding of liability for the fall and the injuries and related damages it caused.
