Examples of Trip and Fall Injuries from Brooklyn’s History

1. Defective Staircases: In the historic brownstone neighborhoods of Brooklyn, many buildings feature intricate staircases that have weathered years of use. However, neglect and lack of maintenance can lead to dangerous defects. For example, in 2015, a Brooklyn resident suffered serious injuries after tripping on a broken step in their apartment building’s staircase.
2. Poorly Lit Walking Areas: Brooklyn’s diverse neighborhoods vary greatly in terms of infrastructure and upkeep. In areas with limited street lighting, pedestrians are at a higher risk of tripping and falling. In 2018, a pedestrian in Brooklyn Heights suffered a fractured wrist after tripping over a cracked sidewalk slab that was obscured by darkness.
3. Unmarked Walking Hazards: Construction sites and temporary barriers are common sights in Brooklyn as the borough continues to evolve. However, failure to properly mark these hazards can result in accidents. In 2020, a Brooklyn resident tripped over a protruding piece of construction material on a sidewalk in DUMBO, sustaining injuries to their knees and elbows.
4. Uneven Surfaces: Brooklyn’s diverse terrain includes everything from historic cobblestone streets to modern concrete sidewalks. Unfortunately, uneven surfaces can pose a significant risk to pedestrians. In 2019, a visitor to Prospect Park tripped on an uneven pathway and fractured their ankle, highlighting the need for proper maintenance of public spaces.
