Many people ask, “Is winning a slip and fall case in New York challenging?” The answer is yes — these cases are often difficult, especially if you don’t have the right legal strategy in place. But don’t worry, at Cantor, Wolff, Nicastro & Hall, we’ve handled countless slip and fall cases and know how to navigate the challenges to get you the best possible outcome.

1. Why Are Slip and Fall Cases Tough?

Slip and fall cases are tough because insurance companies use various tricks to shift the blame onto you. They’ll argue that you were at fault or didn’t take enough caution. This can make winning the case feel overwhelming, especially if you don’t have the right evidence or strategy.

2. How Can You Strengthen Your Case?

One of the key pieces of evidence in a slip and fall case is photos of the scene. Pictures can help show why the property owner was at fault. But even if you don’t have pictures, don’t worry! Your testimony, medical records, and hospital reports can still serve as powerful evidence. For example, if you slipped on ice and the hospital notes this in your records, that can be used to build your case.

3. Why You Need a Lawyer

Without an experienced attorney, you might miss key opportunities to collect evidence or fall into the traps set by the insurance companies. That’s why it’s so important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. We know their tactics, and we’ll help you be prepared to counter them effectively.
