New Jersey Public Slip And Fall Accident Lawyers

All Practice Areas

Walking down the sidewalk, you slip and fall. Noticing that the sidewalk is a bit uneven, you wonder if that was what caused your fall. And — if that did contribute to your fall — you question whether anyone can be held accountable for your accident. This is a common scenario. Slip and fall accidents happen all the time. And sometimes, there is negligence involved. Other times, it is just one of those unlucky things that happen in life.

Who Is Liable For A New Jersey Slip And Fall Accident That Occurs In A Public Place?

Slip and fall accidents often occur in public spaces and while not every slip and fall accident warrants a personal injury claim, many such claims are filed and settled each year in New Jersey. Property owners have an obligation to provide a reasonably safe property, and they can be considered liable for your slip and fall accident if negligence can be proven. 

There are several ways that negligence can be demonstrated in a slip and fall accident, including any of the following:

• Property owner must reasonably have known that the premises was unsafe
• Property owner did not repair damage to the property in a timely manner
• Property owner failed to properly maintain the property 
• Property owner failed to properly alert the public of hazardous or unsafe conditions on the property
