Seeking Justice After a Retail Store Accident

When you enter a supermarket or other retail store in New York to browse or to shop, there is a reasonable expectation of safety. You have every right to assume that the store and the aisles will be well maintained, free of hazards and debris, and free of anything remotely slippery on the floor.

Supermarket and retail store owners and staff have a responsibility to make their facilities welcoming and safe for guests. Unfortunately, all too often, a quick stop at the supermarket or an afternoon out with friends turns tragic because of a lack of maintenance or careless merchandise displays that are unsafe.

If you or a loved one have had an accident at a supermarket or retail store, the award-winning attorneys at the Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff can help. We are known for our uncompromising strength in fighting for the rights of accident victims, and we can get you the compensation that you deserve.

How long do I have to file a supermarket or retail store accident claim?

The state of New York imposes a strict three-year statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim. If you wait longer than three years, then the court will not hear your case, and your right to financial compensation will be lost. 

With that being said, if you think you may have a supermarket or retail store accident claim, it is best to call the Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff, PLLC, immediately.

The sooner an attorney is able to investigate, the more evidence will be available, and the stronger your case will be.

I came into the offices about a slip and fall in March of 2014 that happened at the Brooklyn Terminal Market. 

From the first moment that I met with Michael, I was reassured that everything would be taken care of. I was kept informed throughout the whole process which made me feel confident that my case was being handled professionally and competently. 

I received my settlement in February 2015 and am happy with the settlement amount. I would definitely recommend Michael to any friends or family in a similar situation to mine.

How can I tell if I have a strong claim against a supermarket or retail store because of my accident?

There are certain conditions that must be satisfied in order to substantiate a supermarket or retail store accident claim. These cases can be particularly complicated and usually involve lengthy investigations. These are the main conditions that must be satisfied for a premises liability claim in a supermarket or retail store accident:

  • You must have been a guest, a shopper, or other authorized visitor to the supermarket or retail store.
  • The owner and/or staff knew or should have known, about the hazardous condition, and they either did not do enough or did nothing to fix the problem.
  • The injuries that you sustained are a direct result of the accident caused by those hazardous conditions.

If you have been involved in an accident in a supermarket or retail store, you should seek legal counsel immediately and call the NYC personal injury lawyers at The Law Offices of Michael S. Lamonsoff, PLLC, for a thorough review of the events that led to your injuries.
