An unexpected fall can have devastating consequences

Slip and fall injuries can be more than physical. They interrupt daily life, create stress, and put your financial future at risk. Whether you slipped on ice, tripped on a broken sidewalk, or fell due to poor lighting in a store or building, The Selvin Law Firm understands the real pain points victims face.


From day one, your assigned slip and fall lawyer will work to:


  • Investigate the cause of your fall and identify liable parties.
  • Gather critical evidence before it's lost or altered.
  • Deal with property owners, insurance companies, and their legal teams.
  • Fight for a full financial recovery—including lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and future care.



You don't have to fight alone. And you don’t have to settle for less than you deserve.


Who Benefits Most From Hiring a Slip and Fall Lawyer?

This service is designed for individuals injured due to unsafe property conditions, including:


  • Shoppers hurt in stores or malls due to wet floors or uneven surfaces
  • Workers injured in stairwells or lobbies without proper lighting
  • Tenants or visitors injured in apartment buildings with poor maintenance
  • Seniors especially vulnerable to unsafe walking conditions



If your accident happened on someone else’s property—residential, commercial, or municipal—you likely have a claim. We know exactly how to build a winning case.

How Much Are Most Slip and Fall Settlements?

Slip and fall settlements vary widely depending on factors like injury severity, lost wages, liability, and long-term care needs. That said, many slip and fall claims settle between $15,000 and $75,000—but serious injuries involving fractures, surgeries, or permanent disability can result in settlements well into six figures or more.


At The Selvin Law Firm, we fight for every dollar you’re owed. Our lawyers use expert evaluations, medical documentation, and in-depth negotiations to maximize your settlement. We won't let you get lowballed.

Are Slip and Fall Cases Hard to Win?

Insurance companies often try to make slip and fall cases appear difficult by claiming the hazard was “obvious” or that the victim was “careless.” But with an experienced slip and fall lawyer, these arguments fall apart under proper legal scrutiny.


We know how to prove:


  • The hazard wasn’t adequately marked or repaired
  • The property owner knew (or should have known) about the danger
  • Your injuries were directly caused by the fall
  • You acted reasonably and had no way to avoid the accident



Our track record proves these cases are winnable—especially when handled by legal professionals who know the law inside and out.

After the Case: How You Keep Benefiting Long After We Win

Winning your slip and fall case isn’t just about money—it’s about closure, security, and moving forward.


Our clients often report:


  • Reduced financial pressure from mounting bills
  • Peace of mind knowing justice was served
  • Confidence knowing negligent parties were held accountable
  • A lasting legal relationship they can trust for future needs



With The Selvin Law Firm, your healing doesn’t stop at the courthouse. We’re your lifelong legal partner.

Slip and Fall Lawyer FAQ's

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

    In New York, you generally have three years from the date of your accident to file a personal injury lawsuit for a slip and fall. However, claims against government entities often have shorter deadlines—as little as 90 days to file a notice of claim. It’s critical to contact a slip and fall lawyer immediately after your injury to preserve your rights.

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

    First, seek medical attention. Your health and your medical records are key to your case. Next, take photos of the scene, report the incident to property management, and collect witness information if possible. Then, speak to a slip and fall lawyer before speaking to the insurance company. Anything you say can be used against you.

  • What types of injuries qualify for a slip and fall claim?

    Common injuries include broken bones, sprains, torn ligaments, back and neck injuries, concussions, and more. If your fall resulted in significant pain, medical care, or time off work, you likely have a valid claim worth pursuing with a slip and fall lawyer.

  • Can I sue even if the fall was partly my fault?

    Yes. New York follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault—but that still may leave you with a substantial recovery.

The path to recovery starts with a single call. Speak with a slip and fall lawyer at The Selvin Law Firm today and schedule your free consultation. We have offices in Seaford, Garden City, and Queens, and we’re ready to fight for the justice you deserve.
