Nahid, thank you for sharing your experience with The Gelbstein & Associates Team. We’re so glad we could assist you after your slip and fall accident in a Sullivan County grocery store while you were on vacation. It’s not unusual for people in your situation to think no attorney will take their case — especially when the incident happens far from home — but our team is committed to helping injury victims anywhere in New York State. With Berel managing the logistics and Mr. Gelbstein leading the legal strategy, we were able to handle your case remotely from start to finish and secure a settlement that paid for everything you needed. Slip and fall cases — also known as premises liability claims — can be complex, particularly when they involve large grocery chains or stores in rural counties. These businesses often have aggressive insurance carriers that deny responsibility, hoping the injured person will give up. In your case, our ability to act quickly meant preserving critical evidence such as security footage, incident reports, and witness statements, all while you remained comfortably at home. In New York, property owners and businesses have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. That includes promptly cleaning spills, ensuring aisles are free from tripping hazards, and maintaining adequate lighting. When they fail to do so and someone is injured, the law allows the victim to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Even when an accident occurs in an unfamiliar location — whether Sullivan County (12754), the Catskills region, or anywhere else in upstate New York — our Brooklyn-based personal injury law firm has the resources and network to investigate and pursue justice. We have successfully handled slip and fall cases throughout New York City (Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, Staten Island) and across the state, including Orange, Ulster, Rockland, and Sullivan Counties. Whether it’s a supermarket slip on a wet floor, a fall on icy steps outside a business, or a trip caused by unsafe store conditions, our team knows how to build a strong claim and push back against corporate defense tactics. Nahid, we truly appreciate your trust in us. Your case is a perfect example of how location should never stop someone from seeking justice. On behalf of The Gelbstein & Associates Team, we’re proud to have been part of your recovery, and we wish you continued health and success moving forward. — The Gelbstein & Associates Team
