Focused Rockland County Slip and Fall Lawyer
Rockland County, NY, is celebrated for its sense of community and distinctive character, shaped by both modern development and historic charm. These qualities make the county an appealing place to live and spend time. Yet the same strengths also bring challenges when properties are not properly maintained or aging infrastructure is left unaddressed. This mix of development has created places where unsafe conditions that lead to slip and fall accidents are common, putting both residents and visitors at risk.
In places like Palisades Center Mall, heavy foot traffic combined with winter snow and ice often leads to unsafe walkways when property owners fail to keep up with proper maintenance. Smaller villages, including Piermont and Haverstraw, have older sidewalks and staircases that can become dangerous when not repaired. During the colder months, untreated ice around transit hubs and residential complexes makes accidents far more common.
Rockland’s riverfront towns attract year-round tourism, and that constant activity puts added strain on infrastructure already showing its age. With older buildings exposed to harsh winters and constant use, everyday spaces become far more prone to dangerous conditions that can lead to falls.
For over two decades, Eric Richman has applied his knowledge of Rockland County’s property maintenance rules and liability laws to hold negligent parties accountable. His results-driven approach has consistently delivered significant financial recoveries for clients across the county.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
What does a slip and fall lawyer do?
A slip and fall attorney investigates the cause of your accident and builds a strong case to show who was at fault, then pursues the compensation you deserve through settlement discussions or, if needed, a trial. Their goal is to hold negligent parties responsible and secure the maximum compensation available.
Should I see a lawyer if my injuries are minor?
Yes. What begins as a minor injury can often worsen over time. Having a lawyer review your case ensures your rights are protected and that you are compensated for any long-term effects.
How long do I have to file a claim in New York?
Most slip and fall claims must be filed within three years of the accident. If the fall occurred on government property, the time limit may be much shorter. An attorney can guide you through these deadlines to preserve your case.
How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?
Our firm charges no upfront fees, so you can focus on your recovery without worrying about legal expenses. Payment is only required if we successfully secure compensation for you, ensuring that our interests are fully aligned with achieving the best possible outcome for your case.
Will my case go to trial?
Although many slip and fall claims resolve through settlement, we prepare every case with the expectation of trial. This preparation ensures we are positioned to pursue the strongest possible outcome.
