Slip and Fall Injuries in Queens

Slipped on a wet floor in a store? Tripped on a broken sidewalk? Fell on an icy parking lot? Property owners in New York have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail, and you get hurt, you have the right to compensation.

At Licatesi Law Group, we handle slip and fall and trip and fall cases throughout Queens from our Corona office at 100-17 Northern Blvd.

Common Slip and Fall Locations in Queens

  • Grocery stores and supermarkets (wet floors, spills)
  • Restaurants (grease, uneven floors)
  • Sidewalks and public walkways (cracks, uneven pavement, ice)
  • Apartment buildings (broken stairs, poor lighting, no handrails)
  • Construction sites (debris, temporary walkways)
  • Malls and retail stores

What You Need to Prove

To win a premises liability case in New York, you need to show the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition, had reasonable time to fix it, and failed to do so. This is why documenting the scene immediately matters — take photos of what caused your fall.

Comparative Negligence in New York

Even if you were partially at fault for your fall — maybe you were looking at your phone — New York's comparative negligence law means you can still recover damages. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still receive compensation.
