Brooklyn Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer

Injured in a slip and fall in Brooklyn? The Bull holds property owners accountable and gets you the compensation you deserve.

Slip and Fall Injuries Are Serious and So Are Your Legal Rights

In Brooklyn, property owners and businesses have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe. When they fail to clean up spills, fix broken stairs, or remove snow and ice, the result can be a serious fall and life-altering injuries. Under New York premises liability law, you may be entitled to compensation if you were injured due to a dangerous condition that should have been prevented or fixed. At The Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff, we represent slip and fall victims across Brooklyn, from apartment buildings and bodegas to big box stores and public sidewalks. Known as “The Bull,” Michael S.

Slip and Falls Are Among the Most Common Accidents in Brooklyn

With high foot traffic, aging infrastructure, and fast-changing weather, Brooklyn is a hotspot for slip and fall hazards.

Frequent sites for these incidents include:

Supermarkets, bodegas, and delis
Apartment and brownstone stairwells
Restaurants, bars, and event venues
MTA stations and subway entrances
Office buildings and lobbies
Sidewalks with snow, ice, or broken pavement
Schools, hospitals, and community centers

If you were hurt on any of these types of properties, we’re ready to act fast.

Common Injuries Caused by Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents often result in much more than a bruise or embarrassment. Many victims suffer long-term injuries that disrupt their lives and ability to work.

Common injuries include:

Broken wrists, hips, and ankles
Traumatic brain injuries or concussions
Herniated discs and spinal damage
Shoulder dislocations or torn rotator cuffs
Facial fractures or dental trauma
Torn ligaments and soft tissue damage
Chronic back or joint pain

We pursue full compensation, not just surface-level settlements.

Here’s how we help:

Investigate the scene immediately
Secure video footage and maintenance logs
Identify prior complaints or code violations
Work with medical and liability experts
Pressure insurance companies with trial preparation
Navigate city or state claims if public property is involved

When you’re represented by The Bull, insurance companies take your case seriously.
