New Jersey Premises Liability Lawyer
Every year, people are hurt while walking in and around someone else’s business or home. When an individual slips on a patch of ice, wet spot, or down a flight of stairs and is hurt, it may be time to call a New Jersey premises liability lawyer.
The legal theory regarding premises liability is simple. Property owners, whether residential or commercial, are responsible for keeping their property safe for visitors and properly maintained to avoid accidents like slips and falls from happening. However, as a New Jersey premise, the liability lawyer informs anyone with a potential case that a property owner’s negligence ranges from the failure to warn visitors of potential hazards to the failure to properly maintain his or her property.
An Injured Individual Needs a New Jersey Liability Lawyer
A lawyer who is an expert in premise liability cases for plaintiffs looks at the issues of the case. The New Jersey premises lawyer also informs the individual of the possible outcomes. For example, often a judge or jury may find a property owner partially at fault for the plaintiff’s injuries. Thus, the plaintiff may receive a percentage of the award damages instead of the full amount. In other cases, a property owner may be found fully liable for a plaintiff’s injuries and the plaintiff receives full awarded damages.
Premise Liability Lawsuits
The issue regarding this type of lawsuit is determining whether the property owner was negligent in her or his duties to keep the property safe for visitors. Many New Jersey accident victims who are injured on someone else’s property may think they can go to the owner and settle the dispute. However, that’s not the case. Often, a property owner may not settle or believe the person has a case and refuse to settle.
Therefore, it’s vital that anyone injured on someone else’s property talk to a New Jersey Premise Liability Lawyer. On the surface, a premises liability case looks simple. For instance, the plaintiff slipped on a wet spot in a commercial property owner’s store. He or she incurred medical bills and pain and suffering. Thus, the property owner should pay the plaintiff. Unfortunately, for the plaintiff, the law requires a judge or jury to look at who is responsible for the plaintiff’s injuries. Although a property owner is legally responsible for maintaining his or her property, the defendant’s New Jersey personal injury lawyer may try to prove otherwise.
