When you visit someone else’s property—whether it’s a private home, a retail store, or even a public park—you expect a reasonable degree of safety. In fact, New York property owners have a duty to ensure their properties are free of hazards that could cause foreseeable injury to others. Unfortunately, not all property owners conduct proper maintenance or adequately repair, remove, or warn others of dangerous conditions. This leads to countless accidents and injuries every year, including devastating slips, trips, and falls.

Although slip and fall accidents are often viewed as less serious than other types of injury-causing events, we at Basch Keegan & Spada recognize how serious these incidents are. In fact, falls—including those resulting from slips and trips—are among the leading causes of both catastrophic injuries and deaths in the United States.

If you were severely injured, or if your loved one died, due to a serious slip and fall accident on someone else’s property, and you believe the property owner was negligent, we encourage you to reach out to our firm right away. You could be entitled to monetary compensation for your damages, including your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, and our Albany slip and fall lawyers can help.
