Slip and Fall Attorneys in Westfield, NJ Leave No Stone Unturned in Recovering Maximum Compensation for Clients

When you or a loved one have been the victim of a slip and fall accident, regardless of the cause — a patch of snow and ice, a broken stair, or a pothole — when the accident occurs on someone else’s property, the property or business owner’s failure to maintain the premises may have been the legal cause of your slip and fall accident. The law imposes a duty on property and business owners to exercise reasonable care to maintain their premises in a safe condition, free of dangers or hazards. When property or business owners fail in this legal duty, they may be financially responsible for someone who is injured in a slip and fall accident. Many people who are victims of slip-and-fall accidents on others’ property may not even be aware that the property or business owner has a legal duty to maintain the premises or that this duty extends to areas like parking lots, driveways, and abutting sidewalks. Our Westfield slip and fall accident lawyers of Team Law are ready to help you understand your legal rights and options when you’ve been injured in a slip-and-fall accident on someone else’s property. Contact us today to schedule a free initial case evaluation so you can talk to a personal injury lawyer about the details of your case.

Frequently Asked Questions about Westfield, NJ Slip and Fall Accidents

Can I sue a store or restaurant owner if I slipped on a spill made by another customer?

Potentially. In order to succeed on a slip and fall accident claim against a store or restaurant when your accident was caused by a liquid or other substance spilled by a customer, you will need to prove that the store or restaurant knew of the spill or that the spill had been there long enough that the store or restaurant should have discovered the spill, and that the store or restaurant had enough opportunity to clean up the spill. If you slip only a minute or two after another customer spills a liquid on the floor, the store or restaurant can argue that it did not have notice of the spill or sufficient opportunity to clean it up.

If I slip on snow and/or ice on someone’s property, aren’t they automatically responsible for my accident?

Not necessarily. If a slip and fall occurs entirely on private property, such as a parking lot or driveway, the property owner or occupier may be responsible for a person injured in a slip and fall accident. However, if a slip and fall occurs on a sidewalk that abuts the private property, legal liability for slip and falls becomes more complicated, even though many municipalities impose fines for failure to maintain abutting sidewalks. As a general rule, commercial property owners have a duty to remove natural hazards like snow and ice from abutting sidewalks; however, residential homeowners or tenants owe no duty to pedestrians to clear abutting sidewalks, unless the homeowner’s or tenant’s property creates a new or additional danger on the sidewalk.
