When winter weather sweeps across Westchester County and New York City, even the most familiar streets and sidewalks can become accident zones. At The Law Offices of Norman Gershon, we’ve spent decades representing New Yorkers injured because someone else didn’t do their part to keep others safe. Whether it’s a car crash on I-287, a slip-and-fall in a poorly maintained parking lot, or a pedestrian accident on icy sidewalks in White Plains or the Bronx, understanding how weather plays a role in liability is critical to protecting your rights.

Snow, freezing rain, black ice, and storm debris don’t just make winter in New York inconvenient — they change the legal landscape for both premises liability and motor vehicle collisions. When a property owner or driver fails to take reasonable precautions in hazardous weather, preventable injuries follow. At The Law Offices of Norman Gershon, we’ve spent 35+ years proving that “it was the weather” is not a free pass for negligence. From White Plains and Yonkers through the Bronx, Queens, and Manhattan, Norman is the go-to trial lawyer other attorneys call for their toughest cases — with tens of millions in verdicts and settlements to show for it.
