Common Causes of Supermarket and Retail Store Accidents in NYC

Retail store and supermarket owners in New York City have a legal duty to maintain safe premises for customers. When they fail to do so, serious accidents happen. Common hazards include:

• Slippery floors from spilled liquids, leaks, or mopping without warning signs
• Loose rugs, broken tiles, or uneven flooring
• Cluttered aisles or merchandise blocking walkways
• Falling objects from shelves or unstable displays
• Dim lighting in stairwells or store entrances
• Malfunctioning elevators, escalators, or doors
• Snow, ice, or cracked sidewalks outside NYC stores

These conditions can lead to slip and falls, trip and falls, and other injuries in NYC grocery stores, convenience stores, pharmacies, and retail outlets.

Injuries Commonly Caused by NYC Store Accidents

Shoppers in New York City can suffer a range of serious injuries when a store fails to correct dangerous conditions, including:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and concussions
• Spinal cord injuries, herniated discs, or paralysis
• Broken bones, including hips, ankles, wrists, and arms
• Soft tissue damage, sprains, and torn ligaments
• Internal bleeding and organ damage
• Lacerations, scarring, or facial injuries
• Permanent disability or disfigurement

Our NYC injury lawyers understand how devastating these injuries can be—physically, emotionally, and financially.

How to Prove Negligence in a New York City Supermarket Injury Case

To win a slip and fall lawsuit in NYC, you must prove the store was negligent. This means showing that:

1. A hazardous condition existed on the store property
2. The store owner or employees created, knew about, or should have known about the hazard
3. They failed to fix or warn customers about it
4. You were injured as a direct result of the store’s negligence

At Greenstein & Pittari, LLP, our NYC supermarket injury attorneys will gather critical evidence such as surveillance video, accident reports, witness statements, and store maintenance records to prove your claim.

What to Do After a Slip and Fall at a Grocery Store in NYC

Taking the right steps after a store accident can make or break your case. We recommend:

1. Seek immediate medical attention – Even if your injuries seem minor
2. Report the incident to store management and ask for a written report
3. Photograph the hazard, your injuries, and the accident scene
4. Collect witness contact information
5. Save your clothing and shoes – they may contain vital evidence
6. Do not talk to the store’s insurance company before speaking to a lawyer
7. Call Greenstein & Pittari, LLP, your trusted NYC slip and fall lawyers
