In New York City, millions of pedestrians, including both tourists and locals, walk the streets every day. With accessible storefronts, convenient sidewalks, and heavy vehicle traffic, walking is a preferred mode of transportation in NYC. However, the increase in foot traffic also leads to more hazards, resulting in slip-and-fall injuries.


Pulvers, Pulvers & Thompson, L.L.P. is proud to provide quality legal representation to New Yorkers facing serious injuries from slip and fall accidents. In most cases, the injured party must prove the property owner’s negligence. If the owner knew or should have known about a hazard, they can be held liable for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and legal fees.
In New York State, an average of 52,673 hospitalizations due to slip and falls occur each year. According to the NY Department of Health, falls are often not accidental but occur in avoidable situations that property owners can prevent.

If you were injured because of weather-related conditions, you need to act quickly as collecting evidence is time-sensitive. If you were injured on municipal property, you are facing a more challenging lawsuit, including strict guidelines and a higher legal standard.
Our New York lawyers understand that many people are hesitant to file a lawsuit after an injury, particularly if they know the owner of the property where the accident happened.
But often, you will be pursuing compensation from an insurance company rather than an individual. A personal injury claim is often the only way to recoup your financial losses and maximize your chances of making a full physical recovery.
