The law requires that the condition must have existed for a period of time sufficient to give the owner notice that it was unsafe. Our experienced New York Slip and Fall Lawyers understand the concept of notice and what the law requires in a slip and fall accidents. Many public sidewalks require a Notice of Claim to be properly filed within 90 (ninety) days of an accident.
