Can You Sue and Who is Liable?Are the Property Owners Liable For a Slip and Fall on Ice or Snow? Whether a property owner is liable for a slip and fall on ice in New York depends on several factors, but it generally boils down to the concept of premises liability. This legal principle states that property owners have a duty to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition for visitors, including taking reasonable steps to address hazards like ice and snow. Here are some key points to consider: The property owner's awareness of the hazard: The owner must have known about the ice, or should have known about it through reasonable inspections and maintenance practices. The reasonableness of taking preventative measures: The owner must have failed to take reasonable steps to address the ice, such as shoveling, salting, or sanding. This includes considering the time elapsed since the snowfall and the severity of the weather conditions. The visitor's own conduct:

According to data from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, weather-related factors contribute to an average of 2,300 accidents annually in Westchester County, accounting for approximately 10% of all reported crashes. The most common types of weather-related accidents in Westchester County include: Snow and Ice-Related Accidents: Snow and ice pose significant hazards to drivers, increasing the risk of skidding, loss of control, and collisions. Snowstorms, freezing rain, and black ice can lead to multiple accidents, often involving multiple vehicles. Rain-Related Accidents: Heavy rain can reduce visibility, impair driver judgment, and make roads slippery, increasing the likelihood of accidents.

The statute of limitations is a law that sets a time limit for filing a lawsuit. If you do not file your lawsuit within the statute of limitations, your case will be dismissed. How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim? The statute of limitations for personal injury claims varies from state to state. In general, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two to four years from the date of the injury. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. For example, the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is typically shorter, and the statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is even shorter. Statute of Limitations in New York State The time allowances for the Statute of Limitations in New York State vary depending on the type of case.

In fact, a recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that the average annual cost of health insurance premiums for employer-sponsored plans increased by 20% between 2016 and 2019. This increase in cost is putting a strain on both individuals and businesses, and it is making it more difficult for people to afford the care they need. The rising cost of medical treatment is also having a significant impact on the number of personal injury claims. When people are injured due to the negligence of another party, they may be entitled to compensation for their medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, the rising cost of medical treatment can make it difficult for people to recover the full amount of damages they are owed.

In 2020, it was reported that 7,000 pedestrians were killed in crashes involving a motor vehicle (up about 5 percent from the year before). In fact, one in six people who died in any motor vehicle accident were pedestrians. Besides fatalities, approximately 104,000 emergency department visits of pedestrians hit by a motor vehicle were treated for non-fatal crash-related injuries. The number of pedestrian accidents has risen further since the 2020 CDC report.

Many people who participate in winter sports such as snowboarding, ice skating, skiing, ice hockey and sledding sustain injuries. Most winter sports are inherently dangerous. You should be aware that the law in New York can severely limit the liability of a facility owner or other participants for injuries suffered by someone engaged in these activities. The White Plains accident lawyers at Worby Vecchio Edelman are experienced in winter sports accident injuries and have represented victims injured under many different scenarios. Winter Sports Injuries and Primary Assumption of Risk The Courts in the State of New York recognize a legal doctrine known as Primary Assumption of Risk . Under this doctrine, the owner of an athletic facility a ski area, or ice skating rink, for example has less of an obligation to protect you from injury than you might think.

Such cases present their own complications specific to precipitation. This month we again focus on fall down cases. We last visited the issue in December, 2020 (Steps to Take After a Slip, Trip, and Fall Down Accident) but these types of cases, while seemingly easy, actually contain complex legal issues. We ll deal with three of the more common issues here. Legal Challenges in a Slip and Fall Case A property owner will often argue that it should not be liable for a fall down accident because the defect which caused the fall was an open and obvious condition. The logical response is that an owner should not benefit by permitting a dangerous condition to exist just because the condition is visible, and that it is illogical to reward a premises owner for failing to remedy a large defective condition. The law has developed t

An accident that occurs during the course of employment raises issues not seen in other personal injury cases. Worker s Compensation is a No Fault Based System One of the basic tenets of New York negligence law is that one is not permitted to sue either an employer or co-employee for personal injury caused by an accident which occurs in the scope of employment. In such cases, the accident victim s sole remedy is through the worker s compensation system. In New York, worker s compensation provides benefits for part of your lost income, as well as payment for medical bills incurred for accident-related treatment. There are advantages and significant disadvantages to proceeding under the Worker s Compensation Law. The advantage is that worker s compensation is a no-fault based system, meaning that an employee is entitled to worker s compensation benefits regardless

The law on this type of case is well-settled. Slip and Fall Accidents By their nature, falls due to snow and ice are generally slip and fall (as opposed to trip and fall ) cases. As in all fall down cases, the plaintiff must identify the cause of the fall; as we have mentioned in previous columns (December 2020, Steps to Take After a Slip, Trip, and Fall Down Accident) the fact that you fall on someone else s property does not in itself impose liability upon the property owner. Proof must be provided that the property owner knew that the condition existed (the legal term is actual notice ), or, in the alternative, that the condition existed for a sufficient length of time such that the property owner should have known that the condition existed ( constructive notice ). Proof must also be provided that

We continued that discussion in June, with the worker s compensation lien. We now turn to liens imposed by various medical insurers. In the context used here, a lien is a charge against a settlement, imposed by an entity that is owed money back from you. That entity might be Medicare, as discussed in May, or your health insurance carrier that has paid benefits for medical treatment which you have undergone following your accident. Most health insurance contracts contain language which permit the insurance company to seek reimbursement from its insured for all such benefits. Payback to the health insurance carrier comes directly out of the client s settlement, and makes it more difficult for an attorney to settle a case for a fair number. In 2009, New York enacted General Obligations Law 5-335.

Palmer Veterinary Clinic – An Update on Animal BitesThe White Plains accident lawyers at Worby Vecchio Edelman believe it is important to stay current on developments on legal issues central to our practice. We last covered the topic of injuries caused by animal bites (essentially dog bites) in March 2020. We now take the opportunity to review a case which carved out a rare exception to the restrictive state of New York law and hopefully portends a trend toward a less restrictive view on this important topic. First, the background. As we last reported, New York does not recognize a lawsuit for negligence for injuries caused by a dog, or by any other animal, such that an owner s careless or negligent conduct is irrelevant. Rather, the law requires proof that an owner knew or should have known of a dog s prior vicious propensities , or a dog s propensity to jump on someone, even if in a playful manner. Without proof of an owner s knowledge of a prior act, a dog owner is ordinarily not legally liable for an injury caused
