Slip & Fall Accidents

Slip & Fall Accident Lawyers in Queens

PROPERTY OWNERS SHOULD MAINTAIN REASONABLY SAFE GROUNDS

In Queens, property owners have an obligation to maintain reasonably safe grounds for visitors. This includes the inside and outside of their properties, even the sidewalk out front. Clearing snow and ice, fixing defective flooring, and routinely inspecting for hazards are examples of steps Queens property owners should take to prevent serious slip and fall accidents from occurring. Unfortunately, not all owners and managers uphold their duty.
