Trusted Slip and Fall Accident Lawyer in Westchester
Westchester County combines both urban and suburban charm, featuring bustling commercial districts and extensive transportation networks. However, its diverse landscape also creates numerous slip and fall hazards that put residents and visitors at heightened risk of serious injuries.
Westchester’s active lifestyle culture means more people are walking to Metro-North stations and attending events at local venues like Playland or the Westchester County Center. This increased foot traffic, combined with variable weather conditions and aging walkways, significantly elevates slip and fall risks.
Aging infrastructure like cracked sidewalks and uneven pavement all throughout historic areas like Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow create dangerous conditions year-round. During the winter months, these same surfaces can become even more treacherous due to ice and poor snow removal.
Major shopping destinations throughout Westchester, like The Westchester Mall in White Plains and Ridge Hill in Yonkers, frequently experience slip hazards from wet entrance areas and improperly maintained flooring. The county’s numerous corporate headquarters and office complexes also see their share of accidents from polished lobby floors and poorly marked steps, which can put local workers at an increased risk.
Eric Richman understands these unique local factors and has successfully represented victims injured at shopping centers, train stations, municipal properties, or even private businesses throughout Westchester County. With two decades of experience handling premises liability cases, he knows how to build compelling arguments that hold negligent property owners accountable for unsafe conditions.
