New York
Travel Related Accidents

Travel in New York can be
stressful and unwanted injuries can ruin more than your
business or vacation plans. Many times these injury
claims involve trip and fall or slip and fall hazards.
For example, when hotel guests are walking along
sidewalks or walkways, they have a right to expect a
safe and non-slippery surface.
New York is a
popular tourist and business destination and visitors
don’t expect to slip or fall or otherwise hurt
themselves at a hotel, recreational activity, conference
or sporting event. Unfortunately accidents happen when
you least expect
them.

one has been seriously hurt while

injuries can be caused in a variety of settings

related accidents.
What should you
do if you are injured while traveling?
-
Get immediate
medical attention
-
File an
accident report
-
Take pictures
of the unsafe area as soon as possible. You can even
use your cell phone to take a quick shot. Once a
problem is reported, hotels often correct dangerous
conditions and they often deny responsibility.
Unfortunately, New York hotels exist to make a
profit and they don’t always take responsibility for
their carelessness.
