Premises Liability Attorney in Newark, New Jers

Premises liability is a legal concept in personal injury cases where a person's injury is caused by the unsafe, defective, dangerous, or hazardous conditions of another person's property. Under New Jersey law, persons injured due to unsafe or dangerous conditions on a property may be eligible to pursue fair financial compensation for their premises-related injuries and damages.

Some common injuries that may occur and lead to premises liability claims include:

• Slip and falls
• Dog bites and other animal attacks
• Stair collapse or defective staircases
• Balcony or porch collapses
• Accidents involving fire
• Negligent security leading to assault or injury
• Water leaks or flooding
• Elevator and escalator defects or accidents
• Electrocutions
• Garage door accidents
• Inadequate maintenance of the property
• Toxic fumes or chemicals
• Swimming pool accidents
• Oilfield accidents
• Construction site accidents
• Snow and ice accidents

If you or a loved one was hurt in an accident on someone else's property, you need to reach out to a skilled premises liability attorney right away. Your lawyer can determine how to proceed with your premises liability claims and help you hold the negligent public or private property owner liable.

The nature of brain injuries means that there is no short-term remedy. Even if you decide to take legal action soon after suffering a brain injury, it is impossible to know the extent of your injuries so soon after the event. There's no quick and easy way to resolve a brain injury claim. It takes months of documenting and treating your injury to understand your damages fully.

One of the best ways to establish your brain injury is to work with a team of experts. Your treating doctor will connect you with someone who has years of education, training, and experience in diagnosing and treating brain injuries. Insurers have a harder time arguing with an expert opinion, and jurors take an expert's testimony seriously.

Premises-related injuries are not only limited to private properties. Such accidents may also occur on public properties managed or owned by the government.

Public Property: Public properties include public schools, public libraries, public playgrounds, parking lots, roadways, oilfields, sidewalks, and other government establishments.

Private Property: Private properties include commercial and residential buildings, such as residential apartments, local supermarkets, retail stores, restaurants, and grocery stores.

In premises liability lawsuits, public and private property negligence are considered similar. A victim may be entitled to pursue damages for their premises-related injury on private property. Similarly, victims can seek fair compensation from the government for premises-related injuries sustained on public property. Whether you suffered your injuries in a residential building, retail store, or public library, you may file premises liability claims against any negligent property owner.

The following damages may be recovered by filing a premises liability claim in New Jersey:

• Medical expenses, including future medical treatment
• Lost wages or income and other benefits
• Physical therapy
• Diminished earning capacity
• Scarring or disfigurement
• Mental anguish
• Emotional distress
• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability

A knowledgeable personal injury attorney can determine the magnitude of your injuries and help seek the maximum possible compensation.

Individuals who are hurt on another person's property due to the building's dangerous, unsafe, or defective conditions may be eligible to seek damages for their injuries. However, proving fault and establishing liability in your premises liability case may present different challenges. You must show that the property owner was aware of the dangerous or unsafe conditions but failed to do anything about it. Therefore, retaining a skilled personal injury attorney is crucial for proper guidance and to help protect your best interests.
