Premises Liability Attorneys in Jersey City
Premises liability holds property owners responsible for safely maintaining their property to prevent injuries to people who use it responsibly. A common example is slip and fall cases, where property owners may be liable if they fail to remove hazards like water or ice from their steps, resulting in injuries.
With decades of combined experience, Zavodnick, Perlmutter & Boccia, LLC is here to help. As a team of premises liability attorneys in Jersey City, we have helped residents of Jersey City, Union City, and Newark navigate premises liability and personal injury cases.
Types of Slip and Fall Cases
The term “slip and fall” may downplay the gravity of such cases, which can result in severe injuries and substantial damages. Proving negligence in these cases can be challenging. Zavodnick, Perlmutter & Boccia, LLC has skilled personal injury lawyers who have dealt with slip and fall cases arising from various situations. These include, but are not limited to:
- Wet and slippery floors
- Shoddy or incomplete construction
- Inadequate lighting
- Malfunctioning elevators and escalators
- Poorly trained or untrained employees or security guards
- Stairway obstructions
- Failure to clear snow, ice, or rainwater
The Complexities of Premises
Proving a typical premises liability case requires establishing four elements:
- You took reasonable precautions to avoid the incident or injury.
- You were on someone else’s property when you were hurt.
- A hazardous condition on that property caused your injury.
- The defendant knew, or should have known, about this hazardous condition.
You must also provide evidence of the extent of your injuries and the damages you incurred, such as:
- Lost wages
- Medical bills
- Costs associated with any emotional trauma, pain, or suffering
Moreover, it’s essential to determine which party was responsible for the care and maintenance of the hazardous element at the accident site. Sometimes, multiple entities may be negligent, and your attorney can help you identify them. You can assist your slip and fall lawyer by:
- Confirming facts and always clearly and consistently describing the incident
- Preserving all evidence related to the case
- Taking photographs of the accident as soon as possible or, if circumstances require, having another party take pictures
- Recording any witness statements
