Can you sue a property owner after a slip and fall accident?

Maybe yes, maybe no. If the accident was not your fault and you sustained serious injuries, you might be able to obtain compensation from the negligent property owner.

What You Must Prove In Slip And Fall Accidents

  • There was a hazard present; and
  • That hazard directly caused you to fall; and
  • The fall caused your injuries; and
  • The property owner or manager knew or should have know of the hazard

Make sure the property owner is aware of your injuries. Contact a Warren personal injury lawyer immediately after the incident to ensure your best interests are protected.

Where do slip and fall accidents happen?

A premises liability – slip and fall accident can happen anywhere. You could be entitled to compensation as long as you were legally allowed the premises. In other words, you were not trespassing or committing a crime when the accident happened.

How much is my slip and fall case worth?

You could be entitled to various types of compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain suffering relating to a slip and fall accident. Once you meet with one of our New Jersey personal injury attorneys, we review all the expenses caused by your injuries and devise a fair amount for your claim. Pain and suffering are “non-economic” damages so we assess the physical and emotional toll the accident has had on your life. Then, we come up with a reasonable figure to help compensate you.
