How do Slip & Fall Accidents Usually Happen?

Unfortunately, most slip and fall accidents could be prevented had a property owner responsibly maintained the property in a safe condition.  Under a theory of law known as premises liability, property owners, managers, and even municipalities can be held liable when people get injured on their property.  This is because New Jersey imposes a legal duty on people to keep their property reasonably safe for invited visitors and guests. 

Property owners are considered negligent if they are aware of an unsafe condition and failed to correct it.  Under some circumstances, business owners can even be held liable for negligence if they should have been aware of the danger and failed to take reasonable steps to discover it.

Some common causes of slip and fall injuries include, but are not limited to:

While New Jersey winters create an increased risk of slip and fall accidents, these accidents can occur at any time.  Slip and fall accidents often happen in:

Property owners can even be held financially responsible for slip and fall accidents that occur on private property when you are an invited guest.

Frequently Asked Questions About Slip and Fall Accident Claims

What should I do after a slip and fall accident?

In slip and fall accident cases, it’s especially important to document the scene. This means taking pictures or videos of the accident scene. You can also look around to see if you see any video cameras that might have caught the accident. If anyone saw you fall, get their contact information so that we can interview them later. Importantly, call our slip and fall accident lawyers right away. Once the property owner learns of the hazard, the usual response is to fix the problem. Without documentation and quick action, valuable evidence can be lost.

What time frames do I have to be aware of in slip and fall accident cases?

In cases involving privately owned property—whether a business or private home—you have two years from the date of the accident to file an injury claim. If your injury occurred on property owned by a state or local government, you may have to file a claim in as little as 90 days. Slip and fall accidents that occur on property owned by Port Authority are subject to different limitations. In these cases, you might have a one-year period in which to file a claim. The bottom line is: you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible to evaluate your case.
