New Jersey Premises Liability Lawyer
Premises liability is the area of law that requires a New Jersey landowner, usually a store owner, to safeguard others on the premises from dangerous or hazardous conditions that could result in injury. In New Jersey, all commercial property and business owners must provide a safe environment for the people on their property.
For premises liability to apply, there must be negligence or some other wrongful act by the commercial landowner or other business using the property, such as a property management company. It is important to remember that a business is not automatically responsible for an injury simply because an accident occurred on the premises. The business responsible for maintaining the premises may only be liable if there was a wrongful act, such as a failure to inspect the premises or a failure to correct a hazardous condition that the landowner knew about.
Types of New Jersey Premises Liability Cases
Some common premises liability cases involve:
• Grocery store negligence – usually a failure to clean up a slippery substance
• Hazardous sidewalks – a defect in the sidewalk
• Dangerous stairs or staircases – due to no railing
• Slip & Fall accidents and Trip & Fall accidents

• Insufficient lighting – many times this occurs in a stairwell
• Construction site negligence
• Shopping Center defects
• Parking lot hazards

• Swimming pool negligence
