New Jersey Slip and Fall Lawyer
Experienced NJ Personal Injury Lawyer Represents Slip and Fall Victims in Morris County, Middlesex County, Sussex County, Essex County, and Beyond
Some of the most common property-related injuries result from falls. Many people are seriously injured after slipping on spilled liquid in a store aisle, on an icy sidewalk or in a snowy parking lot. Tripping over merchandise left in store aisles or on objects left on the floor of a nursing home are other common examples of scenarios that cause dangerous falls.
People who suffer injuries in slip-and-fall accidents in New Brunswick, Edison, Morristown, or elsewhere in NJ often feel it was their own fault in some way. While the law does require people to use reasonable care, that does not mean property owners or property managers are off the hook for dangerous conditions that they have allowed to continue.
What Are the Obligations of Property Owners in New Jersey?
Property owners and managers have an obligation to maintain their property so that it is reasonably safe and to warn people of any known dangers.
- Property owners have a duty to clean up spills as soon as the spill is noticed.
- Property owners must put up a sign or block off areas where the floor is wet.
- Store owners must keep store aisles clear of tripping hazards.
- Nursing homes must keep hallways safe for frail, elderly residents to walk.
- Property owners must shovel and de-ice sidewalks within a reasonable amount of time.
- If a dangerous property condition persists or occurs repeatedly (such as a spill from a leaking roof), the owner must repair it.
If you were injured because of the negligence of a property owner, the law allows you to seek compensation for your injuries, lost income, and other damages. Contact us for a free initial consultation about your New Brunswick premises liability case.
