Injured on Someone Else's Property? You May Have a Claim
Under New Jersey law, property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe conditions for lawful visitors. This applies to commercial properties like supermarkets and office buildings, as well as homes, apartment complexes, parking lots, and public spaces.
If a property owner or manager fails to fix-or even warn about-a hazardous condition, and someone is seriously injured, they can be held legally liable. This is called premises liability. These cases often involve falls, unsafe structures, or even criminal acts made worse by poor lighting or a lack of security.
Common Premises Liability Cases We Handle
Our firm has extensive experience with a wide range of premises liability claims throughout New Jersey. Some of the most common include:
Slip & Fall Accidents
Wet floors, broken steps, loose rugs, uneven pavement, snow & ice hazards
Negligent Security
Assaults or injuries in places like hotels, apartment buildings, or parking garages with poor lighting, broken locks, or no security presence
Dog Bite Injuries
Animal attacks on private property, in apartment buildings, or during unprovoked encounters
Other Hazards
Including swimming pool accidents, structural collapses, falling merchandise, elevator/escalator injuries, and more
How Do You Prove Property Owner Negligence?
The hours and days after a workplace injury are critical. If you take the right steps early, you can protect your claim-and your health. Here's what we recommend:
- A dangerous condition existed on the property
- The owner or manager knew-or should have known-about it
- They failed to fix it or post a clear warning
- That failure directly caused your injury
Evidence might include security footage, accident reports, maintenance records, or witness statements. Unfortunately, many businesses move quickly to "clean up" evidence after someone gets hurt-so don't wait to speak with a lawyer.
What To Do If You've Been Injured on Someone's Property
Taking action quickly after a premises injury can protect your health and your legal rights. We recommend:
- Reporting the incident to the property owner or manager
- Taking photos or video of the scene before anything is altered
- Getting immediate medical care
- Gathering contact info for any witnesses
- Contacting a premises liability attorney as soon as possible
