my husband fell and broke his hand in front of our apartment and missed three months of work can he be compensated?
Additional information
I am familiar with Staten Island and I would suggest that you look at 3 factors:
1- Was this a city or housing authority project?..?There are strict deadlines
2- Was this a trip or slip? If a trip what was the defect,if any, that caused it.If a slip what substance caused it?
3-Did you ever notice this defect or substance before the accident?
Answering the above will help any attorney that you talk to
Your question lacks a lot of detail. What caused his fall? What did he fall on? Where did he fall? Slip and fall actions can be extremely difficult to prove as the owner of the property must have created a dangerous condition, or should have known of a dangerous condition and did nothing about it.
