In New Jersey, the principles of premises liability hold property owners and occupiers accountable for injuries that occur on their land due to unsafe or defective conditions. However, the nature of the liability and the degree of care owed can differ based on whether the accident occurred on public or private property.
Owners or occupants of private property have a duty to ensure their premises are reasonably safe for visitors. This means they should either correct known hazards or adequately warn visitors about them. If, for instance, a homeowner is aware of a broken step and fails to repair it or warn a guest, and that guest gets injured, the homeowner could be held liable for the injury.
When accidents occur on public properties like government buildings, parks, or sidewalks, different standards and procedures come into play. Government entities have certain immunities, but they can still be held accountable under specific circumstances. To file a claim against a public entity in New Jersey, you must first provide a formal notice of claim within 90 days of the accident. Failing to do so can jeopardize your right to compensation. Moreover, the standards for proving negligence can be more stringent when dealing with public entities compared to private property owners.
These distinctions can significantly impact the strategy and potential success of a premises liability claim in New Jersey. A knowledgeable lawyer from TopDog Law can navigate these nuances for you, ensuring that your case is presented optimally regardless of where the injury occurred.
Accidents at a friend or relative’s house can be emotionally challenging because of the personal relationship involved. However, it’s essential to understand that pursuing a premises liability claim in such situations is typically directed towards the homeowner’s insurance policy, not the individual themselves. Your claim aims to get compensation from the insurance coverage, not your friend or family member’s personal assets. Your lawyer, in any case, will make sure that your case is handled sensitively and that your interests are protected, no matter how you were injured.Â
In New Jersey, you typically have two years from the date of the accident to file a premises liability claim. This time frame is known as the statute of limitations. Failing to file within this period may result in the loss of your right to pursue compensation.
When pursuing a premises liability claim in Newark, you are likely entitled to seek compensation for various damages. Compensation in a premises liability case is based on the damages you’ve incurred as a result of the accident. This can include medical expenses, lost wages or income, pain and suffering, and other related costs. The severity of the injury, the extent of negligence by the property owner, and the specific circumstances of the accident all play a role in determining the amount of compensation.
