New York City is known for its stunning skyline, eclectic residents and neighborhoods, and, of course, Central Park. Whether a person enjoys taking their dog for a walk to their favorite coffee spot or enjoys people-watching with their pet through NYC’s busy streets, most people do not assume they will be injured when walking their dog. Unfortunately, with so much foot traffic in the Big Apple, there are countless broken, cracked, and raised sidewalks that may become a hazard while walking your dog.
The Barnes Firm is a sidewalk injury firm with experience helping victims who have been injured due to a broken sidewalk in NYC. While a broken sidewalk may not seem like a hazard that could cause you to become injured while walking your dog, there are one million Americans who are reported to need medical attention after a slip or fall.
Many people may pass by broken or cracked sidewalks nearly every day and not think much of it. Unfortunately, broken sidewalks are hazardous to communities as they may cause a serious trip and fall accident that may result in injury.
When walking a dog, people tend to be focused on their pet and not their surroundings. When walking a dog in NYC, many distractions are waiting around every corner that may cause the dog to speed up or pull its owner. If an owner is pulled by their pet, they may trip on a broken, cracked, or raised sidewalk, causing them to fall and potentially lose their pet in the process. Broken sidewalk accidents may result in serious injuries, which is why pet owners need to be on the lookout for this hazard when strolling through the NYC streets.
Sidewalks are an important part of NYC as many people choose to walk from one location to the next. With the hundreds of thousands of people who walk across NYC’s busy sidewalks each day, it is vital that those sidewalks are safe. The Barnes Firm wants to decrease the number of preventable injuries that occur due to broken sidewalks. That is why our firm developed SidewalkSnap, a simple way for community members to help eliminate the hazard of broken or cracked sidewalks in NYC.
SidewalkSnap.com provides NYC residents with an easy, three-step process for reporting broken sidewalks in their community. To report a broken or cracked sidewalk, all a user needs to do is follow these
After uploading your snap of the broken sidewalk, the legal team at The Barnes Firm will notify the authorities who are responsible for the sidewalk’s repair. As an added sentiment to anyone who does their part to keep NYC sidewalks safe, when using SidewalkSnap, users will be prompted to be entered into a one hundred dollar giveaway contest after uploading their snap.
