A property owner has the obligation of ensuring that his or her land(s), building(s), and surrounding structures within the premises are safe for authorized visitors. If the authorized individual sustains an injury from an accident within or around the property, the owner will be held responsible for the injuries. It is important to note that these situations are rarely as simple as they seem. You are encouraged to contact a qualified New Jersey premises liability lawyer at Team Law as we specialize in personal injury lawsuits of every kind.

Understanding Premises Liability

Premises liability is a legal concept that points to a property owner’s potential legal responsibility for any injuries their visitors sustained due to unsafe conditions within the premises. Common premises liability causes include excessively damaged walkways, shoddy materials, poor construction of a certain structure, defective electrical wiring, building code violations, and more.

Wait, there’s more to this. If an individual was injured on someone’s property, it does not automatically mean that the property owner was negligent. Unsafe conditions within the premises do not point to negligence as well. The individual pursuing a premises liability lawsuit must prove that the property owner had prior knowledge of those unsafe conditions but still failed to remedy the situation in time.

The injured 44 year-old worker was employed as a pipe maintenance employee in a factory when a clamp burst and he was sprayed with scalding water, resulting in second and third degree burns over 75% of his body, in addition to post-accident emotional injuries related to both flashbacks of the accident and residual scarring from the burns. Team Law litigation attorneys were able to couple the injuries sustained in the burn accident with previous injuries sustained by the injured worker to involve the New Jersey Second Injury Fund, and the burn victim was found totally and permanently disabled with an award of $319,000 for the first 8 years of disability, plus the opportunity to collect ongoing cash benefits in the future should his inability to return to work continue. The injured employee was also entitled to lifetime medical benefits for the injuries sustained in the accident as part of the agreement resolving the case.

Why You Need an Experienced New Jersey Premises Liability Lawer

According to the New Jersey Tort Claims Act (TCA), an individual must provide a notice of the accident within a 90-day timeframe. The individual is required to provide the following information:

Name of claimant
Address of claimant
Circumstances, location, and date of the incident
A general description of the claimant’s injuries and/or losses suffered
Intoxicated or fatigued drivers
Damages that’s being claimed

If the claimant does not provide all of the necessary information and is late, he or she will be barred from recovering anything from the negligent party and its employees. If you are considering filing a lawsuit, you can’t do so until six months after the Notice of Tort Claim was filed.
