Do Not Let Property Owners or Insurers Dismiss Your Slip and Fall Injury
Falls are serious. Insurance companies can act like they are not.
Slip and fall accidents can cause broken bones, head injuries, and long-term mobility issues. Property owners and insurance companies often try to downplay these injuries or blame the victim. Accepting a quick settlement can leave you stuck with medical bills and lost income.
Let our experienced attorneys evaluate your case first, so you get what you truly deserve.
Why You Need an Attorney After a Slip and Fall
Property owners and landlords must keep their spaces reasonably safe. When they fail, and someone gets hurt, they can be held responsible.
Insurance companies often argue the danger was not their fault, appeared too recently, or that the injured person caused the fall.
That is why having legal representation matters. Evidence can disappear quickly, and small mistakes can weaken an otherwise valid claim.

- • Medical expenses and future care

What to Do After a Slip and Fall Accident
1: Get medical care immediately. Some injuries take time to appear and can worsen without treatment.
2: Report the fall to the property owner, manager, or supervisor. Ask for a written incident report if available.
3: Take photos of the hazard, the area, and your injuries. Gather witness names if possible. Do not sign insurance paperwork.
4: Contact Carrothers & Clough, PLLC before discussing a settlement. We protect your rights and pursue full compensation.
Do I have to pay for an Attorney upfront?
There is no upfront expense to you. We work on a contingent fee basis which means we don’t get paid unless you do. When you’ve been injured, you need to focus on getting well again. Let us focus on making sure you get what you deserve.
How do I know if I have a case?
That can often be a hard question; however, with our free consultation, we take the guesswork out of whether you have a claim and what you might be entitled to. Make an appointment today with our legal team to discuss your case.
What if the property owner says the fall was my fault?
New York follows comparative negligence rules. You may still recover compensation even if the owner claims you were partly responsible.
Do slip and fall cases only apply to businesses?
No. Slip and fall claims can involve stores, apartments, workplaces, public buildings, and other properties.
