Slipped on the Staten Island Ferry

As I am not licensed in your state, I can only provide you with some general information. Where you should go from here is directly to a personal injury attorney's office and see if they will undertake your representation on this matter. In the interim, you should save your clothing with the wax on it (do not wash your clothing) and also take photographs of any visible injuries.

You should decline to give any statement to the ferry or its insurance carrier until such time as you have an opportunity to speak with a personal injury attorney.You Should Obtain Counsel As Soon As Possible.

First of all you are doing the right thing by getting prompt medical care. Next, because you were a passenger on the Staten Island Ferry which is operated by the Department of Transportation of the City of New York you need to preserve your rights to sue by filing a Notice of Claim within 90 Days of your accident. You should seek out a personal injury lawyer immediately.
