⚠️ Slip & Fall in NYC: When Can a Property Owner Be Responsible?
A slip and fall doesn’t automatically mean the property owner is legally responsible. The circumstances matter.
A property owner may potentially be held responsible when an injury involves conditions such as:
• Wet or slippery floors that were not properly addressed
• Broken or uneven stairs, sidewalks, or flooring
• Snow or ice that was not reasonably addressed
• Poor lighting in stairways, hallways, or other areas
• Unsafe or defective conditions the owner knew about—or reasonably should have known about
Evidence can be extremely important in these cases. Photos, surveillance footage, witness information, incident reports, and medical records may help establish what happened.
