Long Island City Slip & Fall Accident Lawyer

---

Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, even in areas that are generally quite safe, like grocery stores and malls. Recently cleaned floors, spilled produce, and rain-soaked aisles can all result in serious injuries when a customer slips and falls. It is important to be aware of your rights and options following an injury caused by a slip and fall inside the premises of a business such as a grocery store or a supermarket. Other common causes of slip and fall accidents include:

• Wet and uneven surfaces
• Defective sidewalks
• Torn carpeting
• Recently waxed or mopped floors
• Loose mats and tiles
• Broken handrails
• Damaged steps and stairs
• Cluttered floors
• Spilled produce

Premises liability accidents like slip and falls are unfortunately common in New York City. Store owners often fail to exercise reasonable care in keeping their premises safe, and serious injuries through slip and falls and trip and falls often result.  When a member of the public is injured as a result of the negligence of a grocery store owner or employee, they may be able to seek compensation. For this reason, it is important to discuss your accident with a personal injury attorney, as you may need your medical bills paid, or compensation for lost wages. 

Injuries caused by slip and fall accidents can be severe, and are often devastating to those who fall victim to someone else's negligence. Common injuries caused by slip and fall accidents include:

• Traumatic brain injuries
• Bone fractures
• Spinal cord injuries
• Shoulder and neck injuries 
• Cuts and abrasions
• Soft tissue injuries
