Legal Question in Personal Injury in New York

Re: Broken ankle on college property

You fail to indicate why it is there fault. There are certain legal rules that apply to trip and fall accidents. In addition, you fail to indicate the school. If it is a State or Municipal College there are certain notice and time requirements. I doubt the making of a legitimate claim would cause you any problems. Good luck.

Take pictures. It is important, even if you do nothing.

Depending on what school it is, different time periods apply in which to make a claim.

Feel free to call me at any of the listed numbers 212-764-5428, 914-769-0796, or 845-878-2163 to dicuss. Time may be an important factor,

Good Luck

Re: Broken ankle on college property

It sounds like you certainly may have a case. In order to have a case against the college you must show that they had "notice" of the condition however, meaning that they knew about the broken sidewalk or should have known b/c the condition existed for a long period of time.

In order to make sure your legal rights are properly preserved you must act as soon as possible. Certain public entities (like State schools) have extra prerequisites to bringing suit which are very time sensitive. My firm and I have handled many similar cases.

Give me a call in the office at (888)998-2354 at your convenience.
