Crosswalk Slip and Fall Accident Attorney in New York City
NYC Crosswalk Slip, Trip and Fall Lawyer
Because of the high number of pedestrians in New York City, the crosswalks are constantly used and are often used by hundreds of people at once. If the city has been negligent in repairing or maintaining these crosswalks, it could result in an injury to one or more of these innocent passersby. Slip and fall and trip and fall accidents can easily occur on crosswalks that haven’t been cared for in an appropriate manner.
We expect the city to maintain the roads and crosswalks in a timely manner when they fall into disrepair. Tax dollars and other monies are devoted entirely to making sure that public roads and other areas are properly maintained and cared for. A pedestrian could easily trip on broken/chipped concrete, potholes, cracks or other imperfections that should have been fixed. When a person on foot trips in the middle of a crosswalk, he or she can be in extreme danger. If you are on the ground and injured, a car or other vehicle might not be able to see you at all and what started as a slip and fall injury could turn into a car/pedestrian accident.

A NYC crosswalk slip/trip and fall attorney at Hochheiser & Hochheiser LLP can provide you with the legal advice and representation that you need.
