Trip and fall accidents happen every day in New York City. Cracked sidewalks, missing manhole covers, poorly lit stairwells, and cluttered store aisles can lead to serious injuries — and serious medical bills. At Pazer Epstein Jaffe Fein & Gozenput, we fight for the full compensation you deserve.

We’ve recovered millions for injured New Yorkers and we know how to hold negligent property owners, landlords, businesses, and even the City of New York accountable.

 

⚠️ Time Is Limited. Don’t Wait to File Your Claim. ⚠️

Trip and fall claims — especially those involving city property — are time sensitive. In some cases, you may have just 90 days to file a notice of claim. Evidence disappears quickly, so don’t delay.

I worked with the team at Pazer for the last two years, specifically Mike Jaffe. The process was painless on my end. The team kept me up to date on the process, and ensured I was able to get the proper level of care. I highly recommend them.

Steven Cruz

My experience with Mr. Jaffe and Mr. Fein was amazing. They took my Construction case and got me a maximum recovery to protect my future. I would personally recommend them to anyone who needs a lawyer. Not just good lawyers, but a great firm to represent you. Thank you guys so much.

This firm took my difficult construction case and got me a lot of money to compensate me for my injuries. Eugene Gozenput took my case to trial and won. Very happy with outcome.

Trip & Fall Accidents In New York & Long Island

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do immediately after a trip and fall accident?

    Seek medical attention right away, report the incident to the property owner or manager, take photos of the scene, and get contact info for any witnesses. Then, contact a personal injury lawyer to protect your rights.

  • Who can be held responsible for a trip and fall accident?

    Depending on where the fall occurred, liable parties may include property owners, landlords, businesses, maintenance companies, or the City of New York.

  • What if I’m not sure who is at fault?

    That’s okay — our legal team will investigate the circumstances of your accident to determine who is responsible and whether you have a valid claim.

  • How long do I have to file a claim in New York?

    You typically have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, if your fall occurred on city property, you may have only 90 days to file a Notice of Claim. Don’t delay — contact us right away.

  • How much does it cost to hire your firm?

    We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay us unless we win your case. Your consultation is free.

  • What if my fall didn’t result in broken bones — do I still have a case?

    Yes. Serious injuries can include sprains, ligament tears, back injuries, and other trauma that affects your daily life. We’ll evaluate your case based on all medical and legal factors.

  • Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?

    Yes. Under New York’s comparative negligence law, you may still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault — your award may just be reduced by your percentage of fault.
