Understanding Your Rights After a Slip and Fall in Long Island
Slip and fall (also known as a trip and fall) is a negligence claim or injury claim against a property owner who allowed dangerous conditions to exist that caused the fall. Trip and fall accidents are among the most common personal injuries actions in New York State, and they are difficult cases to prove. If you have slipped or fallen because of someone else’s negligence, contact the Law Office of Gregory A. Goodman, P.C. for a free consultation so that we can assess the validity of your claim and provide you with legal analysis.
If you're wondering about your next steps after a slip and fall, here are key points to keep in mind:
- Document the scene by taking photos of the hazardous condition and your injuries as soon as possible.
- Report the incident to the property owner, landlord, or manager right away and get a written record if possible.
- Seek prompt medical attention even if your injuries seem minor, as a medical record can help support your claim.
- Preserve any evidence such as clothing or shoes worn at the time of the accident since these may help demonstrate the circumstances.
- Contact a Long Island Premises Liability Attorney to discuss your legal rights, particularly if the property involved falls under local laws that require timely notice of a claim.

What Constitutes a Premises Liability Case in Long Island?
Business owners and homeowners are required by law to make their properties reasonably safe. It would be difficult for someone to sue you because they lost their balance while being drunk. If they lost their balance because your rotting floor finally gave out, however, there may be a lawsuit there.
Pursuing legal action in a premises liability matter often requires careful examination by a qualified premises liability lawyer Long Island clients can rely on. Each situation is unique, and the law looks closely at the property’s maintenance, the foreseeability of the danger, and whether the owner acted promptly once an unsafe condition was known.
If you or someone you care about suffered an injury in a location such as a store, apartment complex, or public space, our firm can help you understand how New York premises liability law applies. We routinely handle cases involving locations throughout Long Island, often coordinating with medical providers and investigators to verify the property owner’s responsibilities under local ordinances.
Other cases of premises liability claims could include:
- Dog bites
- Porch collapse
- Elevator defects
- Toxic fumes
- Lack of building security
