Nassau County Slip and Fall Lawyer

This happens every day, a person is walking down a sidewalk, walkway, road, surface or stairs in a private residence, etc. and they slip or trip and fall sustaining serious injuries. Can that person recover for their injuries? The answer is it depends… did they fall as a result of a surface that was negligently constructed or maintained? If so, then they may have a case. We thoroughly investigate these claims and determine if there is a viable claim. Other questions that arise are: Who pays for my medical bills? Often, if those bills are paid by private insurance or Medicare/Medicaid, they will have a lien on the proceeds of any negligence case proceeds. If the property owner maintained Medical Payments coverage, that will often help pay for some of the medical bills as well, depending on those limits. Very different rules apply if the property involved was owned by a municipality such as a City or Town. In such cases, a Notice of Claim must be filed within the requisite time period.
