Know this

What makes slip and fall cases different

  • 1

    You generally must show the owner knew or should have known about the hazard.

  • 2

    Your own share of fault (for example, not watching where you walked) is often disputed.

  • 3

    Claims against a city or public agency can have very short notice deadlines.

Checklist

Evidence to save now

  • Photos of the hazard exactly as it was, before it is cleaned up
  • An incident report from the store or property manager
  • The shoes you were wearing
  • Witness contact details
  • Medical records and bills

3 years

For most injury claims (N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 214).

Fault rule

Pure comparative fault

You can recover damages even if you were mostly at fault, but your award is reduced by your share of the blame. (N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 1411)

Car insurance

No-fault state

Your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage pays your medical bills and some lost wages first, no matter who caused the crash. You can sue the at-fault driver only if your injuries meet the state's threshold.

Pending attorney review. General information, not legal advice. Deadlines can be shorter for claims against government agencies and for some case types.
