Trip, slip, and fall accidents can happen at any time in a city as busy as New York. Sidewalks can have large cracks and other dangers present themselves when the ground or floor is slippery or wet. If you are injured, it is important to remember the exact location where you were injured. Take photographs where you are at that precise moment. See if anyone witnessed the accident as they may be able to help testify as to how the accident happened.
In 2023, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that almost 20% of work related accidents from a trip, slip, or fall resulted in death in the State of New York (except NYC). That number is higher than the national average throughout the United States.
