Our Commitment
Focused on You From the First Call
An injury can turn your life upside down in seconds. Medical appointments, missed work, and calls from insurance companies can quickly become overwhelming. Our team is here to take that weight off your shoulders so you can focus on getting better.
We listen to your story, investigate what happened, and build your claim with care and attention to detail. From gathering evidence to dealing with insurers, we keep you informed at every step and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Injured on Someone Else's Property?
These Cases Are Won on Notice — and Speed.
A slip and fall claim rises or falls on proving the owner knew, or should have known, about the hazard and did nothing. Surveillance video is often overwritten within days, and cleaning logs, incident reports, and prior complaints have a way of disappearing. We send preservation demands immediately, identify who actually controlled the space, and build the record that turns 'it just happened' into documented negligence.
Why Choose Us
Why Injured Clients Choose Raytsin Law Firm PC
We Prove Notice
Video, maintenance logs, sweep sheets, work orders, and prior complaints. We assemble the paper trail that shows the hazard existed long enough to be fixed.
Every Responsible Party Identified
Owners, tenants, managing agents, cleaning contractors, and snow removal vendors can all share liability. More defendants often means more available coverage.
We Take On the Comparative Fault Defense
Insurers claim you were distracted or wearing the wrong shoes. We answer with lighting measurements, code violations, and human factors evidence.
No Fee Unless We Win
Free consultation, contingency fee, and we advance the costs of investigation and experts.

Cases We Handle
Premises Liability Cases We Handle
Wet & Slippery Floors
Unmarked spills, over-waxed floors, leaking coolers, and tracked-in rain in stores, lobbies, and restaurants.
Snow & Ice Falls
Uncleared sidewalks, refrozen meltwater, and negligent snow removal. New York City shifts much of this duty to the abutting owner.
Stairway & Handrail Defects
Uneven risers, missing handrails, worn treads, and code violations in apartment buildings and walk-ups.
Sidewalk & Trip Hazards
Raised flags, broken curbs, open cellar doors, and unsecured mats that catch a foot without warning.
Inadequate Lighting & Security
Dark stairwells, unlit garages, and broken fixtures that hide hazards or invite assault claims against a negligent owner.
Construction & Debris Falls
Scaffolding paths, exposed cabling, and construction debris left across a walkway by a contractor.
