Slip and Fall Accident

New York City Slip and Fall Lawyer

Your Dedicated Slip and Fall Lawyers – Here to Protect Your Rights

Slip and fall accidents can cause serious injury through no fault of your own. If you’ve been hurt because of a property owner’s negligence, you have the right to seek compensation. At Vardanyan Law Group, our New York City slip and fall lawyers work to secure the compensation you need to recover your health, replace lost income, and cover long-term care.


Why You Need a Slip and Fall Lawyer in NYC

Hiring a slip and fall lawyer after an accident is essential. The legal landscape surrounding falls — especially those that happen on private property — can be complicated. A slip and fall accident lawyer knows how to navigate these cases, build a strong claim, and fight to see that you receive the compensation you’re owed.


What Does a Slip and Fall Lawyer Do?

While you focus on recovering from your injuries, a slip and fall lawyer will:

  • Prove Liability — Establishing that a property owner was negligent isn’t always straightforward. An experienced attorney knows exactly what evidence to gather to prove fault.
  • Recover Medical Expenses — Medical bills after a fall can add up fast. We work to make sure you’re compensated for both current and future medical costs related to the accident.
  • Recover Lost Wages — If your injuries keep you out of work, we fight to include lost income in your compensation.
  • Negotiate with Insurance Providers — Insurance companies are incentivized to minimize payouts. We push back to make sure you receive what you actually need to recover.
  • Recover Damages for Pain and Suffering — Slip and fall accidents can take a mental toll, from anxiety to loss of enjoyment of life. We fight to make sure that impact is reflected in your compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions.

In most cases, New York's statute of limitations for slip and fall (personal injury) claims is three years from the date of the accident. Claims against a government entity — such as a fall on city-owned property — typically require a Notice of Claim within 90 days, so it's important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.

Liability typically falls on the property owner, manager, or tenant responsible for maintaining the premises, if it can be shown they knew (or reasonably should have known) about a hazardous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors.

Vardanyan Law Group works on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs. You only pay legal fees if we win a settlement or court award for your case.

Seek medical attention, report the incident to the property owner or manager, photograph the hazard that caused your fall, collect witness information, and keep all medical records and bills. Then contact a slip and fall attorney before speaking with any insurance company.

Case value depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and the impact on your quality of life. An attorney can review the specifics of your accident and give you a realistic estimate of your claim's value.

New York follows a pure comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident — your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.

Workplace slip and fall injuries are usually handled through workers' compensation, but in some cases — such as when a third party's negligence contributed to the accident — you may also be able to pursue a separate personal injury claim.

Yes. Strong evidence, such as photos of the hazard, incident reports, witness statements, and medical records, is critical to proving negligence and securing fair compensation. An attorney can help gather and preserve this evidence before it disappears.

We handle slip and fall cases involving wet or slippery floors, uneven surfaces, poor lighting, staircase hazards, weather-related conditions, construction sites, retail stores, nursing homes, and unsafe workplaces throughout New York City.
