What is considered a trip and fall injury in New York?

In a trip and fall accident in New York, in order to be compensated, it's not enough that you sustained injuries, you also have to show that the owner of the premises has some sort of fault for the injuries. That could be, by the nature of the defect that caused the fall. For example, a chipped stairway can cause somebody to fall and sustain injuries. Or it could be a loosed handrail that causes somebody to sustain injuries. If there is a defect that causes injury and the defect is not of a transient nature, which means it can't be somebody just dropped a coca cola right before you slipped, then you're entitled to be compensated for the injuries sustained by the fault of the land owner. I'm Mitchell Pronner. If you're looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

Are accidents from auto defects common?

Many times in auto accidents either the cause of the accident or the enhanced injury occurs as the result of the defective or faulty design of the vehicle itself. Unfortunately, most of the time that people are involved in single car accidents they have no idea the vehicle cause contributed to it. Many of these cases are never pursued. They never end up in the hands of lawyers. The thing to look for is, in SUVs, high center of gravity , the ability of the vehicle to roll over easily, such as the 15 passenger vans, failure of seatbelts, roof fall in event the vehicle rolls over, defective air bag - the air bag deploys but doesn't deploy at the appropriate time, protecting their occupant.
