Slip & Fall
If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident in NJ, proving fault is key to getting compensation. It’s not enough that you got hurt—you must show that the property owner was negligent. Business owners have a higher responsibility to keep their property safe since customers visit for their benefit. Homeowners have a lower duty but still need to warn guests about known dangers. If you’re unsure about your case, a slip and fall attorney in NJ can help you understand your rights and next steps.
Proving negligence is key to winning a slip and fall case in New Jersey. Sometimes, an expert witness is needed to show that a property owner failed to meet safety standards. For instance, if a staircase has uneven steps or a supermarket neglects to clean up spills in the frozen food aisle, expert testimony can highlight these hazards. An attorney can use this evidence to prove negligence and show how it led to your injury.
Falls in supermarkets, commercial buildings, and private properties can cause severe injuries, especially for seniors. In some cases, a simple photo of the hazard, like an icy sidewalk left untreated, can provide strong evidence of fault. A skilled slip and fall lawyer in NJ will know how to use such proof to build a solid case and fight for your compensation.
