Discover the Power of Google Map Photographs to Prove Trip and Slip and Fall Cases

In a trip and fall or slip and fall case, it's crucial to provide solid evidence to prove your claim in court. In order to win your case, you must present admissible evidence that proves two key points:

1) the at fault party knew or should have known about the dangerous condition beforehand, and 

2) the dangerous condition existed for a sufficient amount of time for the at fault party to have discovered and corrected it.

To be admissible in court, the evidence must meet certain criteria outlined in New York's Civil Practice Law and Rules. This means it can't be hearsay or any other type of evidence that is prohibited.

But how do you gather admissible evidence that meets New York's strict rules? Look no further than Google Map photographs. These snapshots of the area in question can provide crucial evidence, especially in cases involving broken or uneven sidewalks. By showing that the condition existed for years prior to your fall, you can demonstrate that the property owner should have been aware of the danger.

In the past, obtaining Google map photographs for legal use was a complex and costly process. It required subpoenas, court hearings, and affidavits attesting to the authenticity of the images. However, thanks to a recent amendment to CPLR 4511(c), the process has become much simpler.

Now, with a notice to the defendant and the inclusion of clickable hyperlinked photographs downloaded directly from the internet, admissible evidence is at your fingertips. No longer do you need to jump through hoops to prove your case using Google Map photographs. They now serve as excellent evidence to support your trip and fall or slip and fall claim.
