New Jersey Sidewalk Slip And Fall Accident Lawyers

All Practice Areas

When you have slipped and fallen on a sidewalk and someone else is at fault for the accident, you want to be compensated for your injuries and other losses. After all, that is only fair. And personal injury law provides that protection for accident victims in the form of filing a personal injury claim.

But filing a claim and recovering just compensation is not always a simple, straightforward process. Questions regarding negligence, shared fault, liability, and the actual losses sustained all make the claims process complicated. And it can make the goal of recovering appropriate compensation seem out of reach.

Let us help. At the Epstein Law Firm, P.A., our slip and fall accident lawyers are skilled and experienced, with a demonstrated track record of successfully representing victims of sidewalk slip and fall accidents.

Negligence Must Be Demonstrated In Sidewalk Slip And Fall Accident Claims

When an accident occurs and someone is injured as a result, negligence must be proven in order to file a personal injury claim. Just because you slipped on a sidewalk does not mean that the property owner was negligent.  So what is considered negligent in a sidewalk slip and fall accident? 

Providing the sidewalk was in an unreasonably unsafe condition, negligence may be exhibited in a number of ways, including — but not limited to — the following:

• The property owner knew — or should have reasonably known — that the condition of the sidewalk was unreasonably safe
• Failure of the property owner to maintain the safety of the sidewalk
• Failure of the property owner to repair the sidewalk
• Failure to alert pedestrians as to the unsafe condition of the sidewalk by posting signs or cordoning off the area

Proving negligence in a sidewalk slip and fall accident is not straightforward. Questions arise regarding the length of time the dangerous sidewalk condition existed, and the injured victim’s conduct as it pertains to the accident.
