Are Slip & Falls More Common In Autumn?

Slip And Fall Accident Legal Help Long IslandIt is officially autumn, meaning the leaves are falling, and the weather changes. While falling leaves are a pretty sight, they can be a nuisance and contribute to slip and fall injuries. As a homeowner or business owner, you are responsible for sweeping and cleaning up falling leaves, which can be time-consuming. Also, leaves can make it hard to see where you are walking and can cover up certain ditches in the ground, making it hard to avoid when walking. Therefore, these environmental conditions make people more susceptible to slip and fall injuries. Since it is now autumn, Winkler Kurtz recommends that you learn your rights surrounding slip and fall accidents. Preparing so you know what to do if you succumb to a slip and fall injury this autumn is essential, as these injuries are common. Our Slip and Fall Legal Help On Long Island is here to help you navigate the legal side of a slip and fall injury. Keep reading to learn more. 

How Do Slip And Fall Accidents Occur? 

A slip-and-fall accident can occur anywhere. Depending on the environmental factors, they can happen both inside and outside. Certain aspects make falls more likely during the cooler seasons, like autumn and winter. For example, snow, leaves, and ice can contribute to someone falling. Indoor falls can occur too that are not involving weather components. For example, the floor can be slippery, or there is an item on the ground causing you to fall.

All in all, slip and fall accidents can occur for several reasons, indoors and outdoors. Our Slip and Fall Legal Help On Long Island is here to help you navigate your slip and fall accident and get you the compensation you deserve. If you have any questions regarding the nature of your accident, we are here to help.

Common Injuries Associated With Slip And Falls Accidents

The severity of the injuries associated with a slip and fall accident depends on the nature of the fall. It also depends on your age and physical condition. The most common injury from a slip-and-fall accident is cuts and bruises. In some cases, these injuries may need medical attention; however, often, they do not. Another prevalent injury is a break or sprain in the body. This type of injury requires medical treatment as these are more severe injuries. If you have an injury due to a slip and fall accident, you may be entitled to compensation, as frequently, it is not your fault. Our Slip and Fall Legal Help On Long Island is here to help you navigate your accident and determine fault. 

What To Do If You Are Involved In A Slip And Fall Accident? 

The most important thing you can do after a slip and fall accident is to obtain medical treatment for your injuries. Your health is the most important thing. After consulting with a physician, we recommend contacting a lawyer. You may have a case against the person or location of the fall; however, there are specific things you must prove in a slip and fall case. Our Slip and Fall Legal Help On Long Island will walk you through the steps in determining fault and will fight the legal battles that stand in your way of receiving compensation for your fall. We will determine whether the owner of the property where the fall occurred knew that the fall risk was there and whether or not they did anything to prevent it.

To Whom It May Concern, I’m a union painter and was badly hurt when I was involved in a workplace accident on a job site in Manhattan. I hired Richard Winkler to represent me and they have been great. He and his staff keep me informed and are making sure that I can continue to be able to feed my family and to keep everything going, they are on my side no doubt about it. Needless to say this didn’t go unnoticed to my family. Visiting the office was always a positive experience both welcoming and professional. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of caring compassionate legal representation.

The experience that I got from Richard Winkler was absolutely the best, In the beginning I was hesitant because you hear of bad stories about attorneys, but the turning point for me was when the most amazing, caring, person sat down and explained everything to me Mr. Winkler’s paralegal Dana Randazzo.
