Queens Slip and Fall Lawyer
Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents in New York City
Slips, trips, and falls are among the most common—and most dangerous—types of accidents. In fact, falls are one of the leading causes of catastrophic and fatal injuries in the United States. Often, slip and fall accidents occur when property owners fail to conduct routine maintenance or remove hazardous conditions from a premises. When this is the case, injured victims could have grounds to file a premises liability claim or sue the property owner for damages.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Most slip, trip, and fall accidents occur not because of the victim’s clumsiness or negligence but due to dangerous property conditions or hazards.
Examples of such conditions include:
- Wet or slippery floors
- Accumulated ice or snow
- Spills and falling merchandise
- Uneven floors and ground surfaces
- Torn or ripped carpeting
- Defective sidewalks
- Inadequate lighting
- Missing handrails
- Improper signage
- Defective stairs, steps, and stairwells
- Exposed cords and wires
- Cluttered walkways
- Potholes
- Loose floorboards
- Recently waxed or mopped floors
When property owners fail to remove, repair, or warn visitors of these and other hazards, they can be held legally responsible for damages. If you slipped, tripped, and/or fell at someone’s home, in an apartment building, in a retail store, or even on a public street or in a park, you could be entitled to financial compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our team can assess your situation and help you understand your legal rights and options.
