If you’ve been hurt on someone else’s slippery floor, broken steps or stairs, you may have a right to compensation for your injuries. Owners of residential and commercial property in New York have a duty to maintain the premises so as to minimize the risk of injury to anyone legally visiting the property.

If a landowner has failed to fix a known danger, or has not provided adequate notice of the risk of injury, you can take legal action to recover for any injuries sustained. You want an experienced attorney to help you determine your rights and seek recovery for your losses. A fall doesn’t have to be life altering. We will work hard to get you the compensation you need to put you back on track with your future goals.

We handle cases involving injuries caused by wet or slippery floors, icy sidewalks, broken or cracked tile, torn carpet or linoleum, damaged or broken steps, decks, walkways, potholes, and broken pavement or asphalt.

If you have been hurt in the workplace, and your injury was caused by the negligence of someone other than your employer or coworker, you may be able to file a suit directly against that person, or against their employer. This type of suit is known as a third-party action and it offers advantages that a workers’ compensation claim does not.

Most importantly, you are not limited to a specific dollar amount based on the type of injury you have suffered. If you have been hurt on the job, you want to discuss your options with an experienced attorney who has helped others in situations like yours. When you come to Davis & Ferber after a work-related injury, we will carefully investigate the facts of your case, and if we determine that there is a third-party liability, we will aggressively seek full and fair compensation for all your losses.
