Morris County Slip-And-Fall Accidents

An icy sidewalk, a loose handrail, a wet floor—slip-and-fall accidents can happen to anyone under various circumstances. While children and the elderly are most susceptible, even the healthiest and most careful individuals can be seriously injured after a nasty fall.

Insurance companies and property owners may try to stiff you out of the compensation you deserve for your fall.  Don’t let the “big guys” trample all over your rights – get Morris County’s premier slip-and-fall law firm on your side.

From broken bones to traumatic brain injuries, the Morris County personal injury lawyers at Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC have seen it all. We work vigilantly to recover the maximum compensation available. Our slip-and-fall lawyers help good, honest people like you in Morris County and throughout NJ.

What Is Premises Liability?

Premises liability is the law governing your rights in a slip-and-fall case.

The most important factors are:

    • Whether you were on the property legally and

    • Whether the property owner knew about the hazard or should have known about the hazard; and

    • If the owner adequately warned you about the hazard and

    • The injuries you sustained were a result of the hazard on the property

Sometimes, it is obvious who to go after for compensation. A common liable party is a negligent condo owner, store owner, or parking lot manager. However, sometimes you must file a lawsuit against multiple parties, such as a government body and the private person in charge of keeping sidewalks clean. Our Morris County slip and fall attorneys can determine who may be at fault.

Case Study

$1.3 Million for Slip And Fall Accident In Somerset County

What Can I Expect to Happen After I File my New Jersey Slip and Fall Claim?

Here are the steps to take after your slip and fall injury, and what to expect in a premises liability claim:

    • Seek medical attention immediately.

    • Retain all hospital bills and medical records.

    • Take pictures of the area where you fell and any signage nearby.

    • Contact our slip-and-fall lawyers.

First, our attorneys file a complaint on your behalf. This basically tells the property owner that you intend to sue. Hopefully, we can then settle the case quickly and out of court—most cases settle before they reach trial.

Depending on the circumstances, you may need to attend a deposition, answer interrogatory questions, attend mediation or arbitration sessions, or be involved in negotiations. You can expect the entire process to be resolved within a few months, but sometimes complicated cases may take over a year.
