What to know about slip and fall cases in Nassau County
Common fall locations in Nassau
Hempstead, Garden City, Long Beach, Hicksville, and the Five Towns all see slip and fall claims at retail stores, restaurants, apartment building lobbies, parking-lot transitions, and sidewalks adjacent to commercial buildings.
Sidewalk responsibility (local municipal codes)
On Long Island, sidewalk-maintenance responsibility varies by municipality. Villages and town codes typically place the duty on the property owner for commercial frontage; for residential frontage, the responsible party depends on the specific municipality.
Constructive notice
The owner doesn't need to actually know about the dangerous condition. Constructive notice — the defect existed long enough that the owner SHOULD have known — is often enough.
Surveillance footage preservation
Most Nassau commercial properties have CCTV. Footage typically overwrites in 7-30 days. We send preservation letters within days of intake to lock down the evidence.
Venue and filing
Nassau premises-liability claims are filed at Nassau County Supreme Court at 100 Supreme Court Drive, Mineola. City-defect sidewalk cases (against the City of NY) require 90-day notice of claim AND prior-written-notice to the City.
