A slip and fall accident can happen anywhere—on sidewalks, in stores, stairwells, or parking lots—often leading to serious injuries. Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe conditions for visitors.
At Small Law Firm, we help clients hold negligent property owners accountable and seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain & suffering.
Slip and fall accidents often result from hazardous conditions that could have been prevented. Common causes include:
✔ Wet or slippery floors – Spills or leaks without warning signs.
✔ Uneven pavement or cracked sidewalks – Poorly maintained walkways can create serious fall risks.
✔ Poor lighting in stairwells or walkways – Dimly lit areas make it difficult to see obstacles.
✔ Hazardous debris or clutter – Loose wires, broken flooring, or misplaced objects can lead to falls.
To win a slip and fall case, you must show that the property owner knew about the dangerous condition or should have known through proper maintenance. At Small Law Firm, we gather evidence such as maintenance records, surveillance footage, and witness statements to prove liability and build a strong case.
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident, you deserve dedicated legal support to help you recover. Here’s why people trust Small Law Firm:
✔ Personalized Attention: Every case receives individualized care and direct communication.
✔ Decades of Experience: Helping injury victims across New York State get the justice they deserve.
✔ Proven Results: Over $100 million in settlements recovered for our clients.
✔ No Upfront Costs: We only get paid if you win your case.
Falls can result in broken bones, head injuries, or long-term pain. If a property owner’s negligence caused your injury, we’re here to help. Contact us today for a free case review.
Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe premises. If they failed to repair or warn about a hazard, they may be liable.
Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to the property owner, and document the scene with photos. Collect witness information if possible.
In New York, you typically have three years to file a slip and fall lawsuit. However, shorter deadlines apply for claims involving government-owned property.
You must show that the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to address it. Craig will gather evidence to support your claim.
Yes, under New York’s comparative negligence law, you can still recover damages, but your compensation may be reduced based on your share of fault.

Attorney Craig Small not only returns phone calls, but he got me a settlement in a record amount of time. So refreshing to deal with a lawyer who treats me like an equally intelligent adult, instead of condescendingly talking down to me like most lawyers do. I highly recommend this law firm and will use them again.
Hands down best injury lawyer around very personal and friendly, you don’t speak to a whole bunch of people regarding your case Craig speaks directly to their clients!! Both are excellent !! Still thinking of their clients months after the case settled

The people at Small Law Firm helped me deal with a situation following my getting hit by a car while on my bicycle by a person who was distracted. They were attentive, professional, and caring in their approach. I always felt they had my best interests in mind as they counseled and guided me through the very personal journey of getting restitution.
The greatest firm hands down. Craig and his team are compassionate and understanding and professional. They tell you what they can do and deliver!!!
I have been helped by this firm several times. Not just for my accident cases, but with other legal matters as well. They are attentive to your needs and go above and beyond to make sure you are totally taken care of. Even after my cases were settled, they reached out to me just to say hello and to see how I was doing. I would highly recommend this law firm. Thanks for all you do
