WESTCHESTER ICE INJURY LAWYERS 

Our White Plains personal injury attorneys who handle slip and fall on ice lawsuits, know that the landowner is frequently to blame for not making the sidewalk alongside or in front of their property safe for pedestrians. New York law recognizes that landowners, particulary commercial landowners have a responsiblity to clear the sidewalk infront of their property of snow and ice, within a reasonable period of time after a storm or precipitation event. In fact, many Westchester towns and cities have local ordinances,  which require that snow be cleared within a certain time period. 

If you slipped and fell because a commercial landowner in Westchester failed to make their property safe, call our White Plains personal injury lawyers for a free consultation. 

Sometimes ice forms because of the condition of a property itself, which is kown as a recurring condition. The most common examples are features of the property that cause water to flow or drip onto the public sidewalk, such as leaders with holes or leaders that discharge water across the sidewalk. Other examples are drainage grates which have obstructions that cause water to pool. The result of these types of contidions is that when water pools on a sidewalk, or drips because of freeze thaw cycles, and then the pooled water freezes, that results in an icy condition at a point in time when there should not be ice on the ground. 

If you suspect that you were injured because of a recurrent condition on a property that caused ice formation, call our White Plains personal injury lawyers. 

Our White Plains personal injury lawyers go the extra mile to make sure that our clients get the compensation that they deserve. We know that we have to prove that a condition was present long enough for the property owner to have cleared it. Our attorneys leave no stone unturned in looking for evidence to prove the case. We serve preservation notices to make sure that video evidence from surveillance cameras does not disappear. When our clients suffer fractures, we often file lawsuits right away and get orders requiring the property owner to turn over their surveillance footage. Our White Plains personal injury lawyers also subpeona video footage from neighboring proeprties. Another way that our White Plains lawyers prove the case is by hiring meterologic experts, who analyze the weather patterns and can figure out how long ice was present for, based upon climatological data of when a storm ended and the temperature data.
