What Clients Say About
Vincent C. Loiodice
Appellate Experience In A Snow And Ice Injury Case
Vincent C. Loiodice, Esq. successfully argued on behalf of the injured plaintiff in Flournoy v Marcy Residence, LLC, 202 AD3d 931 (2d Dept 2022).
The plaintiff alleged that she slipped on an isolated patch of ice and that the property owner’s snow-removal efforts created or worsened the dangerous condition. After the property owner sought dismissal of the case, the Appellate Division, Second Department affirmed the denial of that motion.
The court determined that the property owner had not submitted sufficient evidence to establish that its snow-and-ice removal efforts did not create or exacerbate the icy condition. The court also found that the property owner had not demonstrated that the ice was created during a single storm the day before the accident.
This published decision illustrates why snow-and-ice cases require a detailed examination of weather evidence, property-maintenance practices, snow-removal records, witness testimony, and the precise condition of the accident location.
Vincent C. Loiodice, Esq. obtained a $1.5 million settlement in a New York staircase accident case involving a client who fell in a stairwell. Staircase fall cases can turn on important details, including the condition of the steps, lighting, handrails, prior complaints, maintenance records, inspection practices, photographs, witness information, and whether the property owner had notice of the dangerous condition.
Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Every case is different.

FAQ
What should I do after a slip and fall accident?
After a slip and fall accident, get medical attention, report the fall, take photos of the dangerous condition if you can, and save anything connected to the incident. Photos of the floor, stairs, sidewalk, lighting, spill, debris, ice, defect, and surrounding area can all matter.
You should also get the names of witnesses and ask whether an incident report was created.
Do I need to report the fall?
Yes, if possible. Report the fall to the store, building, landlord, manager, superintendent, security desk, property owner, or whoever is responsible for the location. Ask for a copy of the incident report before you leave.
If you did not report the fall right away, you may still have a claim, but the case should be reviewed quickly.
What if the dangerous condition was cleaned, repaired, or changed?
That happens often. Spills get cleaned, broken stairs get repaired, snow and ice melt, warning signs get moved, and video footage may be erased. That is why photos, witness information, incident reports, maintenance records, cleaning logs, and surveillance video can become important.
The sooner the case is reviewed, the easier it may be to protect key evidence.
What if there was no incident report?
A missing incident report does not automatically mean you have no case. Other evidence may still matter, including photographs, surveillance video, witnesses, medical records, complaints, inspection records, cleaning logs, maintenance records, and testimony about what happened.
You should still speak with a lawyer if you were injured.
What if I fell in a store or supermarket?
Store and supermarket fall cases may involve spills, wet floors, fallen merchandise, cluttered aisles, floor mats, tracked-in water, poor cleaning practices, or failure to warn customers. These cases often depend on whether the store knew or should have known about the dangerous condition.
Video footage, cleaning records, incident reports, and witness information can be very important.
What if I fell on a sidewalk, stairway, or in an apartment building?
Falls on sidewalks, stairways, entrances, lobbies, hallways, elevators, and apartment building common areas may involve property owners, landlords, management companies, supers, contractors, maintenance companies, or municipalities.
These responsible party and legal deadlines can depend on where the fall happened.
What if I fell on snow or ice?
Snow and ice fall cases can depend on the weather, timing, location, condition of the walkway, snow removal efforts, prior complaints, photographs, witnesses, and whether the responsible party had enough time to address the hazard.
Because snow and ice conditions can change quickly, it is important to take photos and get legal guidance as soon as possible.
