New York City Trip and Fall Accident Lawyer s
Representing Clients Injured in Sidewalk Accidents Since 1968
Owners of property that is adjacent to "city" sidewalks are not only responsible for keeping the sidewalks free of ice and snow; they are also responsible for sidewalks that are broken up, cracked, crumbled and riddled with holes. Property owners who own property with sidewalks are responsible for the maintenance of the entire property, including the sidewalks.
If you have been injured on a sidewalk in New York, it is important that you contact a lawyer to discuss a possible premises liability claim. Injuries can lead to pain and suffering, medical expenses and a diminished quality of life. Compensation can mitigate the loss you have experienced.
At Smiley & Smiley, LLP, we have exclusively represented injured men, women and children since our firm was founded over 40 years ago. We are leaders and instructors in the personal injury law legal community and have sustained our small firm for over four decades by a commitment to clients' rights.
