Fall Accidents and Injuries in North Bellmore and Elsewhere on Long Island

Falls cause injuries ranging from minor scrapes and bruises to catastrophic traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord injuries, and other serious conditions. In general, there are three types of falls:

• Slip and falls
• Trip and falls
• Falls from an elevated area, such as from a set of steps or a porch

Under New York State case law, property owners owe those who come onto their property a duty of care. This includes preventing injuries when reasonably possible. As the New York State Bar Association (NYSBA) explains, this duty was confirmed in the seminal case of Basso v. Miller (1976). Because of the duty created, a fall victim is able to hold the property owner and occupier, such as a lessee or another party tasked with maintaining the property, accountable for unreasonable and foreseeable hazards. The hazards that trigger slips, trips, and other falls are numerous. Anything left or spilled in the walkway, poor cleaning or maintenance, and problems with the flooring, ground, or pavement are common. Learn more about your case and your options based on what caused your fall, where it occurred, and other details by calling Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., now at (516) 932-0400.

We Must Consider the Deadlines in Personal Injury Accident Cases

When it comes to navigating the lawsuit process, there are deadlines we must keep in mind. One is the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit, New York Civil Practice Laws & Rules § 214, which generally allows three years for a personal injury case to be filed with the court. There are also other strict limits, such as the 90-day period for filing a notice of your injuries if you fell on government property, per New York General Municipal Law § 50-E. Some deadlines do not have a set date, but we must keep them in mind anyway. This includes going to work quickly after a fall to gather evidence. Some evidence lasts only days or weeks. Surveillance cameras regularly record over older videos, witnesses’ memories fade, and some evidence disappears because it is left in the liable party’s hands. The faster we get to work on your case, the better the chances we will identify and collect key evidence to prove negligence and liability in your case.
