In New York City, property owners are responsible for ensuring the sidewalks around their buildings are safe for people to walk on. However, not everyone takes this responsibility as they should, creating dangerous conditions that make the risk of sidewalk accidents more likely. When this happens, you may be able to hold them responsible for their carelessness and neglect through litigation.
The Shikh Law Firm has spent decades representing clients who have been injured in sidewalk accidents. You have the rightful expectation that you should be able to take a simple walk down the street without fear of harm, but negligent property owners may facilitate the kinds of conditions that increase your chances of being injured. These injuries can be quite severe as well, leading to broken bones, muscle strain or sprains, or even head, neck, and spinal injuries.
We help clients with sidewalk accidents of all types, including but not limited to:
- Accidents caused by debris or trash
- Accidents caused by materials or tools from construction work
- Accidents caused by a failure to clear snow and ice
- Accidents caused by uneven or cracked pavement
- Accidents caused by potholes or tree roots
- Accidents caused by poor lighting
