Frequently Asked Questions

Where Do Slip and Fall Accidents Commonly Occur?

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere—grocery stores, sidewalks, workplaces—and often result in painful injuries. If you’ve been hurt, the New York slip and fall lawyers at Morelli Law can guide you through the legal process, whether your case involves private or government property, or injuries to a minor. With a three-year statute of limitations for most claims (and stricter deadlines for government cases), we handle evidence gathering, negotiations, and, if needed, court representation to help you secure fair compensation. Contact us today for a free consultation to explore your legal options. Contact Us Today

Is My Employer Liable if I Slip and Fall at Work?

If you slip and fall at work, your employer’s liability depends on the circumstances. Employers without workers’ compensation insurance can be sued directly, while those with coverage allow you to file a workers' comp claim instead. Employers may also be held liable if they intentionally caused the accident. Compensation could cover medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. However, filing a proper claim or lawsuit within New York’s three-year statute of limitations can be complex, so consulting a knowledgeable attorney is crucial. The experienced team at Morelli Law can guide you through your case and help secure the compensation you deserve. Contact Us Today

Who Is Liable for a Sidewalk Accident in New York?

Determining liability for a sidewalk accident in New York depends on where the accident occurred and who is responsible for maintaining the sidewalk. Liable parties may include property owners, the City of New York, third-party contractors, or even the injured party themselves. Property owners are often responsible for maintaining sidewalks adjacent to their properties, while the city may be liable for sidewalks near government buildings or parks. Cases involving third-party contractors or shared fault further complicate liability. A New York slip and fall lawyer can help identify the responsible party, gather evidence, and file necessary paperwork to pursue compensation within the three-year statute of limitations—or the stricter 90-day deadline when suing the city.
