If I slip and fall on one of the fancy marble or granite sidewalks often seen in Manhattan and elsewhere, who is liable for the accident, and may I be able to file a civil lawsuit for any injuries that I have sustained?

Similar to accidents that may occur on concrete walkways, accidents that happen on marble or granite walkways may be the fault of the property owner. However, proving the property owner's negligence is often difficult in such a matter. Occasionally, lawyers must hire engineers in order to investigate the sidewalk where the accident has taken place. The expert may look to see if the walkway is even (is free of major bumps, ditches, and cracks), transitions safely to adjacent pathways, and is not overly slipperly. If the sidewalk fails to to meet one or all of these standards, then you may be able to collect compensation for any injuries that you have sustained. If you have been the victim of a slip and fall accident, please contact us, request our free report on 'slips and falls,' or read a blog that we have recently written about the topic.
