Slip and fall lawyer New York: your deadline
The first thing a New York slip and fall lawyer checks is the clock. You have three years from the day you fell to file, under CPLR 214.
Talks with the owner's insurer do not stop that clock. Only a lawsuit filed in court does.
How New York splits the blame
New York uses pure comparative fault. Your share of the blame lowers the award but never wipes it out. The rule is in CPLR 1411.
Say a jury values the case at $40,000 and finds you 20 percent to blame. You would receive $32,000.
Public property in New York
A fall on government property needs written notice first: 90 days under General Municipal Law § 50-e. Miss it and the claim against the government can be gone.

The value comes from your bills, lost pay, how long you hurt, and the fault split above.
