Do I Have a Slip and Fall Case?

Under New Jersey premises liability law, property owners and businesses have a duty to keep their premises safe. If they fail to address hazards like wet floors, broken sidewalks, or poor lighting, they may be held liable for injuries caused by their negligence. To prove a slip and fall case, we must show:

  • A hazardous condition existed (e.g. ice, spills, uneven flooring).
  • The property owner knew or should have known about the danger.
  • They failed to fix or warn about the hazard in a reasonable timeframe.
  • You suffered injuries as a direct result of the fall.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents happen in various places, including stores, restaurants, apartment buildings, and workplaces. Common causes include:

  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Uneven sidewalks or pavement
  • Loose carpets or floorboards
  • Poor lighting in stairwells or parking lots
  • Unmarked hazards (e.g. spills, construction areas)
  • Broken stairs or missing handrails

Injuries from Slip and Fall Accidents

Many people underestimate how severe a slip and fall injury can be. Victims often suffer:

  • Broken bones (wrists, hips, ankles)
  • Head injuries or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Back or spinal cord injuries
  • Soft tissue damage (sprains, torn ligaments)
  • Cuts, bruises, and lacerations

These injuries can negatively impact your life, leaving you with ongoing pain, expensive medical treatments, and lost wages. A severe injury can limit your ability to work, take care of your family, or enjoy daily activities. At Lackey & Miller, LLC, we understand how life-changing these injuries can be, and we will fight aggressively to secure the compensation you deserve.

New Jersey Slip and Fal Laws: What You Need to Know

  • Comparative Negligence Rule – New Jersey follows a modified comparative negligence law, meaning if you were partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced. If you’re more than 50% responsible, you may not
    recover damages.
  • Statute of Limitations – You have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in New Jersey. Time is running out on your claim – Don’t hesitate to call an experienced attorney to protect your rights and secure the compensation you deserve.
  • Property Owner Responsibilities – Business owners, landlords, and homeowners must keep their property reasonably safe for visitors and customers.
