Despite strict New York labor laws, construction workers in New York City have some of the most dangerous jobs.

Slip and Fall
Property owners are expected to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they leave hazards unaddressed, people get hurt. Our slip and fall lawyers in Queens help you pursue compensation for injuries caused by unsafe property conditions.

- Wet floors in stores, lobbies and buildings
- Other unsafe conditions and unaddressed safety hazards
A fall can be costly in many ways: medical bills, rehabilitation, pain and suffering, and lost income if you cannot work. Pursuing compensation is one of the most important things you can do, and you deserve a firm that knows New York law.
As a Long Island personal injury lawyer and Nassau County attorney team, we also handle falls east of the city line from our Mineola office. Slip and fall FAQs
