Queens Slip & Fall Accident Attorneys

Slip and fall accidents are one of the more common personal injury accidents in New York. These accidents usually happen at a moment's notice and can cause minor to catastrophic injuries to innocent victims, from broken bones to brain trauma and everything in between. The fall may be precipitated by a wet floor, a slippery floor or a sidewalk or roadway that is covered by unplowed snow or ice.

We all walk through malls, supermarkets, restaurants and more, and we usually don't anticipate that the floors in those places will be wet or slippery. However, sometimes they are. For example, a soup may have been spilled in a restaurant by a waiter, or a drink may have spilled in a mall food court area or an aisle in a supermarket may have just been mopped by staff - all these present potentially dangerous conditions to the unsuspecting public.

Sometimes an accident is caused when a floor is cleaned or waxed with a slippery substance when there is no spill per se. It is incumbent on property owners to ensure their properties are in a reasonably safe condition for its guests.
