Slip and Fall in New Jersey

Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common causes of serious injury in New Jersey. Property owners, landlords, businesses, and government agencies have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition. When they fail to address hazardous conditions, including wet floors, broken staircases, icy sidewalks, poor lighting, and uneven surfaces, and someone is injured as a result, they can be held liable. At The Law Office of Bilal A. Jaloudi, we hold negligent property owners accountable and fight for the full compensation our clients deserve.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents

Wet and Slippery Floors

Spills, mopping without warning signs, leaky pipes, and tracked-in rainwater in stores, restaurants, and apartment buildings are leading causes of slip and fall injuries.

Snow and Ice Accumulation

New Jersey property owners are required to clear snow and ice from sidewalks within a reasonable time. Failure to do so creates dangerous conditions during winter months.

Broken or Uneven Sidewalks

Cracked, raised, or deteriorating sidewalks are pervasive throughout NJ and cause thousands of trip-and-fall injuries every year.

Defective Staircases

Missing handrails, broken steps, uneven risers, and inadequate lighting in stairwells are common hazards in residential and commercial buildings.

Poor Lighting

Dimly lit hallways, parking garages, and building entrances prevent people from seeing hazards and contribute to falls.

Negligent Building Maintenance

Loose tiles, torn carpeting, exposed wiring, and unrepaired defects that property owners knew about, or should have known about, create liability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to prove in a slip and fall case?+
You must show that: (1) a dangerous condition existed, (2) the property owner knew or should have known about it, (3) they failed to fix it or warn you, and (4) you suffered injuries as a result. We build each element of your case thoroughly.
What if the property owner says I wasn't looking where I was going?+
This is a common defense. New Jersey's comparative negligence law means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault, as long as you're less than 51% responsible.
Can I sue a store or restaurant for a slip and fall?+
Yes. Commercial property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises for customers. Wet floors, loose rugs, inadequate lighting, and uneven surfaces are all common grounds for claims.
How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in NJ?+
2 years from the date of the accident. For falls on government property (public sidewalks, government buildings), a Notice of Claim must be filed within 90 days.
How much is my slip and fall case worth?+
Compensation depends on injury severity, medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. Broken hips, spinal injuries, and traumatic brain injuries from falls can result in significant six-figure settlements.
