 New Jersey Premises Liability Lawyers

If you were injured in a slip and fall accident, harmed by a dangerous structural condition, or injured due to a property owner’s failure to provide reasonable security, your claim may fall under New Jersey premises liability law.

Premises liability cases arise when property owners or those responsible for maintaining property fail to keep their premises reasonably safe, resulting in injury to visitors, tenants, customers, or passersby.

Under New Jersey law, property owners and occupiers have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to address or warn of dangerous conditions they know about—or should have known about through reasonable inspection.

Premises liability claims may involve:

• Slip and fall or trip and fall accidents
   
• Unsafe stairways, walkways, or flooring
   
• Structural failures or building code violations
   
• Inadequate lighting or maintenance
   
• Negligent security leading to assault or injury
   

The outcome of these cases often depends on detailed factual analysis, including the condition of the property, prior notice of the hazard, and the legal status of the injured person.

Slip and fall accidents remain among the most common premises liability claims in New Jersey, particularly in commercial properties, apartment buildings, and public spaces. Property owners may be held liable when injuries result from hazardous conditions such as wet floors, ice and snow accumulation, uneven surfaces, or poorly maintained walkways.

Premises liability also extends to negligent security claims, where a failure to provide reasonable security measures results in foreseeable criminal activity and injury.
