Identifying The Tripping Hazards That Lead To Falls
Property negligence can lead to a range of dangerous conditions that are waiting to trip you up. We are well-versed in identifying these hazards and proving how they have caused harm.
Some common tripping hazards include:
- Uneven sidewalks or flooring
- Exposed cables or wires on the floor
- Uneven floor transitions
- Poorly lit walkways
- Obstructed pathways
- Unexpected steps or curbs
- Potholes in public streets and sidewalks
Other hazards that also cause injuries:
- Mis-leveling of elevator floors
- Elevator drops, failures and improper operation
- Escalator failures and improper operation
The responsibility lies with the property owner or manager to maintain a safe environment, and when they fail, we are here to hold them accountable. Our premises liability lawyers have successfully pursued these cases not only against private property owners but also against towns, cities and even the state of New York for falls on government property. We handle trip, slip and fall cases of all kinds.
