Common Slip and Fall Causes

Slip and fall accidents happen when there is a sudden and unprecedented change in the contact between your feet and the ground, causing you to lose your footing and fall. Common slip and fall causes include:

  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Loose carpeting and mats
  • Broken or missing steps
  • Missing or loose tiles
  • Poor lighting
  • Obstacles in the path
  • Missing handrails
  • Snow, ice, mud, and water on pavement and floors

Property owners are required by law to identify and correct any of these dangerous conditions from their property. If you get injured due to a property owner’s inability to perform this duty, you can file a personal injury claim or lawsuit against them.

 

Proving Fault in a Slip and Fall Accident

Being injured in a slip and fall does not automatically mean that you will receive compensation for your injuries. To win your case, you must establish that the property owner was negligent and their negligence caused your accident. This will include proving the following:

  •       The property owner owed you a duty of care.
  •       A dangerous condition existed on the property.
  •       The property owner knew or should have known about it.
  •       The property owner failed to remedy the condition.
  •       You were injured as a result of the dangerous condition.
  •       You suffered other damages.

 

When Should You Hire an Attorney?

Not every slip and fall claim will require the help of a slip and fall lawyer. If you do not sustain any injuries, for example, you may not need to file a personal injury claim. However, if you suffer any losses due to your accident, an attorney can help you get compensated for your losses. You should consider hiring one if:

  •       You suffered injuries
  •       Your personal property was damaged.
  •       The at-fault party is denying liability for your accident.
  •       The liable party is blaming you for the accident.
  •       You have no knowledge of New Jersey premises liability laws.

Even if you don’t believe you need an attorney, it won’t hurt to schedule a free consultation to get a professional assessment of your case.
