Bronx Trip and Fall Lawyer Samantha Kucher Discusses the Conditions That May Cause Trip and Fall Accidents
Mar 3, 2022
March 03, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Bronx trip and fall lawyer Samantha Kucher (https://www.rrklawgroup.com/trip-and-fall-lawyer/) releases a new article that explains the conditions that may cause trip and fall accidents in New York. The lawyer mentions that over a million people are injured in fall accidents each year. A trip and fall accident may seem simple but it has the potential to cause severe, especially for the elderly.
“Trip and fall accidents are covered under premises liability laws in New York. These state that if you are injured while you are on someone else’s property, the owner can be held liable for your injuries if their negligence caused the accident. If you have been injured on another party’s property, you may be entitled to compensation from the at-fault party for your injuries,” says the Bronx trip and fall lawyer.
Attorney Samantha explains that slip and fall accidents may differ from trip and fall accidents. Although both of these accidents represent premises liability claims, a slip & fall accident is caused by a slippery surface whereas a trip & fall accident is caused by a hazard or object that causes a pedestrian to trip.
The lawyer mentions that slip & fall accidents usually cause the victim to fall backward and likely cause back injuries or head injuries. On the other hand, trip and fall accidents are likely to cause facial injuries, knee injuries, and wrist injuries.
In the article, attorney Samantha Kucher also enumerates the conditions that cause trip and fall accidents. She mentions that premises liability hazards most often occur at the ground level and people don’t usually see them until it’s too late. The hazards included in the list include cable/wires crossing a walkway, uneven/cracked walkways, uneven flooring transitions, unsecured rugs, potholes., dark stairways/hallways, loose handrails, and not closing off hazardous areas.
Furthermore, building owners or property managers are required to ensure that any hazards are taken care of promptly. If accidents happen in an area that is not properly marked as hazardous, the owner or the property manager may be liable for the damages and the injuries caused by the unmarked hazard.
Lastly, the accident attorney emphasizes that a victim of an accident caused by other people’s negligence may be entitled to compensation. Having an experienced attorney when making a claim for injuries is important to ensure that the victim receives the compensation they deserve.
