Types Of Accidents Caused By City Negligence

Speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer in New York if you have been injured from any of the following types of accidents:

  • Broken sidewalks
  • Slippery surfaces
  • Potholes
  • Inadequate security
  • Snow and ice accumulation
  • Failure to warn of hazardous conditions and dangers
  • Broken stairs and floorboards
  • Car and auto accidents on public property

It is vital after any of these accidents to move quickly with your claim, especially if the property is owned by the government.
