Proven Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer in Dutchess County, NY
Dutchess County is known for its breathtaking views, vibrant small towns, and year-round attractions, including farmers’ markets, historic estates, hiking trails, and waterfront parks. But behind its charm, the area also presents its share of safety risks, especially when it comes to slip and fall accidents caused by uneven walkways, icy conditions, or poorly maintained public spaces.
Sidewalks in historic districts, such as those near the Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park, Wappinger Falls, Coleman Station, or the antique shops of Red Hook, are often uneven due to mature tree roots or long-term wear. In winter, these same walkways become even more dangerous with black ice and poorly cleared snow. All of this can lead to an increase in slips, trips, and falls.
Popular shopping areas, including the Dutchess Mall, Poughkeepsie Galleria, and Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, often see spills, poorly placed floor mats, and wet tile entryways, making them common places for indoor slip and fall injuries. Farmers’ markets, community fairs, and art festivals that draw large crowds to towns like Rhinebeck or Beacon also pose risks with temporary flooring, cords, and slick surfaces.
Whether the fall happens on private property, at a commercial business, or during a local event, Eric Richman has the experience and legal expertise to help victims pursue due compensation. With over 20 years of personal injury experience, he understands the local conditions and technical aspects of the law that can be a deciding factor in a slip and fall case.
