Expert Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer in Poughkeepsie, NY
Poughkeepsie is a mix of waterfront activity, historic landmarks, college campuses, and cultural events that attract residents and visitors from all over New York state. From weekend outings along the Hudson River to shopping and dining down Main Street, there’s plenty to love. But even in such a vibrant area, slip and fall hazards can be hiding in plain sight.
Busy sidewalks around Vassar College, Raymond Avenue, and the Poughkeepsie Train Station often have cracked concrete, uneven curbs, or poor lighting, increasing the risk of slip, trip, and fall accidents. In colder months, icy steps and snow-covered walkways near residential neighborhoods like Mount Carmel Historic District and Pough Town can turn everyday errands into dangerous situations.
Popular destinations such as the Poughkeepsie Galleria, Mid-Hudson Civic Center, and local farmers’ markets also pose risks, with slippery floors, obstructed walkways, and temporary event setups creating unsafe conditions.
Whether your fall occurred on city property, in a local-owned store, or at a public event, Eric Richman has the local awareness and legal experience to help. With over 20 years of success handling personal injury claims across New York, including Poughkeepsie, he’s uniquely equipped to build a strong case and pursue the compensation you deserve.
