New York Slip and Fall Accidents
Slips, trips and falls are a leading cause of injury in the United States. The two most common types of falls are same level falls and elevated level falls. Both can result in serious injury, but elevated level falls usually account for the more serious of the two.
- Same-level falls include falls as a result of water, ice or snow, abrupt changes in flooring, poor lighting, objects in walking path or, a hole or depression in the surface. New York slip and fall lawyers should be consulted.
- Elevated falls are less frequent but often times more dangerous. Common elevated falls are falling down stairs or off a scaffold at a construction site. A New York slip and fall accident attorney should be consulted.
