New Jersey Premises Accidents

Accidents can occur in a number of different scenarios.

Slip and Fall Accidents

If there is an icy sidewalk, broken sidewalk, or wet floor, that constitutes a dangerous condition which the landowner is required to remove. Supermarkets often have slippery floors from too much wax or from liquids or products spilled on the floor. A retail accident can also occur in a shopping mall or other store for the same reasons.

Dog Bites

In addition, if you were injured by a dog bite, the owner of the dog in New Jersey is strictly liable for your damages in most cases.

Dram Shop

If you were assaulted and injured by an intoxicated patron of a bar or restaurant (dram shop liability), or injured in a car accident by a driver who was served to much alcohol at a bar or restaurant, the owner of the business may be liable for allowing that person to be served alcohol when the person was visibly intoxicated.

A Property Owner's Non-delegable Duty

Even if the property is controlled by a renter or leaser, the person that owns the property is still ultimately liable. That's because, in New Jersey, landowners have a non-delegable duty to ensure that their property is safe. For example, if you are a worker injured because of negligent construction practices on a building site, both the property owner and the contractor may be liable under New Jersey law.
