Injured in a Slip and Fall Accident in New York?

Slip, trip, and fall accidents are among the most common causes of serious injury in New York City. Whether you slipped on an icy sidewalk in Astoria, tripped over a broken step in Jamaica, or fell in a poorly maintained building in Flushing, property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. At The Law Offices of Lucille A. Anzalone, we hold negligent property owners accountable.

Why You Need an Attorney

Under New York premises liability law, property owners, managers, and tenants have a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions on their property. When they fail to fix hazardous conditions — such as wet floors, broken stairs, uneven pavement, poor lighting, or icy walkways — and someone is injured as a result, they can be held liable for damages including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Important Deadlines

In New York, you generally have three years from the date of a slip and fall accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, if your fall occurred on government property (such as a city sidewalk), you may need to file a Notice of Claim within just 90 days. Time is critical — contact us immediately.
