Sidewalk injuries that include slips, trips, and falls are very common in New York City. These injuries are often caused by unsafe sidewalks that are wet, uneven, or contain ice and snow. Pedestrian sidewalk accidents result in serious injuries that can leave individuals permanently disabled. It is the responsibility of the property owner to properly maintain their sidewalks to avoid painful injuries that range from fractures and broken bones to neck, back and head injuries.
