The most suburban of the five New York City boroughs, Staten Island is still home to almost a half million people, and thousands more cross the island every day on their way to and from Brooklyn, Manhattan and New Jersey. Staten Island is easily accessible to the rest of New York via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and the Staten Island Ferry. Three bridges also connect Staten Island to New Jersey. This makes Staten Island a popular location for people looking for an accessible home that is more affordable than the those in the other boroughs. The island has an active arts scene, a number of exceptional museums and gardens, and beautiful historic homes.
Like any busy, highly populated area, Staten Island is a place where all kinds of accidents can happen. Many of them will be serious. If you or a member of your family is involved in a serious accident and the other party is to blame, you deserve to be compensated for your injuries and expenses.
Accidents frequently occur on stairways. Whether it is a result of overcrowding, uneven, poorly- planned or slick surfaces or lack of a handrail, a fall on a staircase can result in serious injury to the brain, spine, leg and knee or shoulder and arm. To recover compensation for your injuries and losses from the party responsible, you need to consult a lawyer as soon as possible. Look for attorneys with a reputation for getting results for accident victims.
