In today’s litigious environment, slip and fall claims are among the most common liability issues faced by property owners, landlords, and business operators. Whether legitimate or fraudulent, these claims can result in costly legal battles, increased insurance premiums, and reputational damage. That’s why having clear, time-stamped video evidence is essential — and SafeZone24 is here to make sure you never miss a moment that matters.

The Importance of Video Evidence in Slip and Fall Cases

Slip and fall incidents often occur without warning and are difficult to investigate after the fact. Without witnesses or physical proof, it can become a matter of one person’s word against another’s. However, high-quality video footage can:

• Confirm the exact time and location of the incident

• Show environmental conditions (wet floor, obstruction, lighting, etc.)

• Prove or disprove whether proper safety protocols were followed

• Identify if the incident was staged or preventable

• Help resolve disputes faster and more fairly

Whether you’re defending against a false claim or supporting a legitimate one, having access to reliable surveillance footage is a game-changer — and that’s where SafeZone24 excels.

Understanding the Legal Timeline for Filing Slip and Fall Claims in New York

In New York, a person who has suffered a slip and fall injury generally has three years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is known as the statute of limitations. However, if the fall occurred on government property — such as a public sidewalk, subway station, or municipal building — the timeline is much shorter. The injured party must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days, and the lawsuit must be filed within 1 year and 90 days from the date of the accident.

Because of these tight deadlines, having immediate access to video evidence is critical. Waiting too long to retrieve footage can result in lost or overwritten recordings — and potentially, the loss of crucial legal protection. SafeZone24 ensures your surveillance system is setup to store footage securely and makes it easy to access what you need, when you need it.

SafeZone24 is a trusted security solutions provider in New York City, known for designing and installing smart surveillance systems tailored to homes, businesses, and commercial properties. Their video surveillance solutions are ideal for capturing critical footage before, during, and after a slip and fall event.

Here’s how SafeZone24 helps you stay protected:

1. Strategic Camera Placement

Capturing useful footage requires more than just installing cameras — it requires strategic positioning. SafeZone24 technicians conduct a thorough walkthrough of your property to identify high-risk areas such as:

• Building entrances and exits

• Stairwells and ramps

• Lobbies and hallways

• Parking lots and sidewalks

• Loading docks and warehouse floors

• Bathrooms and kitchen areas

By covering these zones, you maximize visibility and reduce blind spots, increasing your chances of recording useful evidence when an incident occurs.

2. High-Resolution Recording and Night Vision

SafeZone24 installs HD and 4K cameras that record with crystal-clear clarity, making it easier to identify faces, movements, and environmental details. Many of their systems include infrared night vision, ensuring reliable footage in low-light or dark conditions — a common factor in nighttime accidents.

3. Cloud Storage and Footage Retrieval

Time is critical when responding to a slip and fall claim. SafeZone24’s systems feature cloud-based and on-premise storage options, making it easy to retrieve and share footage when needed. Clients can access recordings remotely via smartphone or desktop, download clips, and provide them to legal teams or insurance adjusters quickly.

4. Motion Alerts and Event Tagging

Some incidents may go unnoticed until days later. SafeZone24’s smart security systems can send motion-triggered alerts and automatically tag events for quick reference. This saves valuable time during investigations and reduces the need to sift through hours of footage.

5. Ongoing Support and Compliance

SafeZone24 doesn’t just install and walk away. They provide ongoing support, system maintenance/repairs, and software updates to ensure your surveillance stays reliable. They also help clients ensure their security systems comply with local laws and industry standards — especially when footage is used as legal evidence.
