Undert the facts you described, you may be able to sue th ebuilding owner, the shop owenr, the managment company operating the building, and the company that was hired to remove snow and ice. But, you will not win unless you can show that one or all of them was negligent. If it was city sidewalk that you fell on, none of the parties mentioned above may be liable. You may be able to sue the city,k but those cses are rare. Perhaps there is a ordinance that requires commercial building owners to clear snow within a certain amount of hours. You may want to consult direclty with a personal injury attorney in your area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation.
Good luck
