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

Proner & Proner

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.
