Slip and fall accidents in Woodbridge, NJ, are covered by premises liability law in New Jersey. What is premises liability? In short, under our law, the owners of property or premises must provide a safe place for those who come onto their property and may be liable if there is a dangerous condition they either knew about or should have known about.
Potentially Dangerous Conditions For Slip And Fall Accidents In New Jersey
Generally, the owners of a commercial piece of property are under a heightened duty to those who come onto their property for the business purpose of the owners. The owners must not only warn the persons coming onto the property of potentially dangerous conditions of which the owners are aware but also undertake actual inspections of the property to ensure that no dangerous conditions exist.
For instance, the restaurant owner should regularly inspect the establishment to ensure no spillage on the floor, which could cause a patron to slip and fall.
The owners of a commercial establishment are not liable, and each case will depend on such factors as how long the condition that caused the slip and fall existed and whether or not the property owner had enough time to discover the dangerous condition and take action to remedy it.
Because each slip and fall accident poses unique questions, it is best that you contact a Woodbridge personal injury lawyer with experience handling slip and fall accidents in Middlesex County, NJ.
