Premises liability law in New Jersey revolves around the legal principle that property owners (and, in some cases, those who occupy or manage the property) have a duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. This duty extends to regularly inspecting the property, making necessary repairs, and adequately warning visitors of any existing hazards. The exact nature of this duty varies depending on the status of the visitor — whether they are an invitee, licensee, or trespasser.
Any individual who suffers an injury on someone else’s property due to the property owner’s negligence or failure to maintain safe conditions can file a premises liability claim in New Jersey. This includes visitors to commercial properties like malls or office buildings, guests in someone’s home, or even, in limited cases, trespassers. However, the duty the property owner owes to the injured party varies based on the injured person’s status on the property. You must consult with a legal professional to understand your rights and the full scope of damages you may be eligible for.
Premises liability claims involving public property, like government-owned buildings, parks, or streets, come with their own set of complexities. In New Jersey, public entities are generally protected by the New Jersey Tort Claims Act, which provides certain immunities to public entities and their employees.
However, there are exceptions, and the government can still be held liable for dangerous conditions if it had actual notice of the condition and sufficient time to protect against it but failed to do so. There are also specific procedural requirements and shorter deadlines (known as the “notice of claim” requirement) that you must meet when suing a public entity.
If you suffered an accident involving a public entity, It’s essential to consult with an experienced New Jersey premises liability attorney to discuss your legal options for recovery.
If you have encountered any of these dangerous conditions, you fully deserve to understand that you can seek compensation for the damages that they have caused you.
Some of the most frequent hazards include:
Whether you were injured because of a slip and fall, a broken handrail, or any other dangerous condition, you have the same rights. In New Jersey, when you’ve been injured on someone else’s property due to their negligence, the law entitles you to seek compensation to cover the harm and losses you’ve endured. This compensation, often referred to as damages, can be divided into various categories.
Economic damages compensate victims for tangible financial losses, like medical bills incurred from the injury, lost wages due to time off work, and any future medical treatment or therapy costs. But injuries aren’t just physical; they can be emotional and mental too. For this, non-economic damages are available, covering intangible losses like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and a diminished quality of life.
Working with a knowledgeable attorney ensures that the value of your damages is accurately calculated and that your legal right to pursue all the compensation you’re entitled to under New Jersey law is protected.
Navigating the aftermath of an accident or injury can be overwhelming, especially when facing medical bills and lost income. At TopDog Law, we understand these challenges and believe that getting top-tier legal representation shouldn’t add to your financial stress. That’s why we operate on a contingency fee basis.
