Did fall and suffer an injury on a New York City sidewalk? Are you recovering from those injuries and aren’t sure what to do next? The truth is that your sidewalk accident may very well have been a direct result of another party’s negligence. If so, you may deserve compensation. Here at Gratt & Associates, we can help. During a free case evaluation, we can let you know what your case is worth, and then we can get to work on your behalf in multiple ways.
Find Who’s Liable for Your Sidewalk Accident
The laws governing exactly who is responsible for a sidewalk can be complex and they can change from one location to another. For example, the sidewalks could be the responsibility of a nearby property owner whose property abuts the sidewalk, they could be the responsibility of New York City or other entities.
When we take your case, we’ll conduct an investigation and determine not only what happened but all of the parties liable. Then, we’ll do everything in our power to make sure that you receive the compensation you deserve.
Taking Care of the Little Details (That Aren’t Little)
The sooner you reach out to an experienced attorney about your sidewalk case, the better off you’ll most likely be. That’s due to many reasons, not the least of which is that an experienced attorney is aware of and can make sure all pertinent deadlines are met.
For example, in the City of New York, after an accident (such as one on the sidewalk), a “Notice of Claim” has to be given to the municipality. This claim includes details about the accident, including reasons as to why the accident was the municipality’s fault. This has to be filed with the city within 90 days of the accident itself.
By having an experienced attorney by your side, you give yourself the best possible chance at a successful outcome.

For years, we’ve helped victims of accidents on a sidewalk to receive all of the compensation they deserve.
