We know how to maximize compensation in these sometimes tricky cases. Contact us quickly for a free case evaluation and prompt investigation.

Albany Slip-and-Fall Accident Attorneys

Business or landowners are responsible for your losses, for creating a safety hazard, or if they had actual notice (a complaint) or constructive notice (the dangerous condition was obvious). Hacker Murphy can determine if you have a viable slip-and-fall claim:

  • Spilled liquids or squished food in supermarkets
  • Floors slick from mopping
  • Snow or black ice
  • Slippery, broken or irregular stairs
  • Torn carpets or tripping hazards

We know that more than one's pride is hurt in a serious slip-and-fall accident. Our lawyers recovered damages for broken legs, hip fractures, and injuries to ankles and wrists, not to mention serious back injuries or head injury to clients whose legs went out from under them. We are committed to fair compensation for the medical bills and ongoing care (chiropractic, surgery, physical therapy), as well as lost earnings, lasting disability, and your pain and suffering.

We work fast to photograph the dangerous condition before management has a chance to cover it up. We talk to witnesses, obtain maintenance records and research similar claims of negligence against the ownership.
