In this article, we will discuss the various aspects of premises liability, the types of accidents that can occur, and the importance of hiring a skilled attorney to handle your case.
Common Types of Premises Liability Cases
Premises liability cases can involve a wide range of accidents and injuries. Some common examples include:
- Slip and fall accidents These are among the most common premises liability cases and can result from wet floors, icy sidewalks, uneven surfaces, or other hazardous conditions.
- Dog bites Dog owners have a responsibility to keep their pets under control and prevent them from causing harm to others. If a dog bites someone, the owner may be held liable for the victim’s injuries.

Proving Negligence in a Premises Liability Case
To establish a successful premises liability claim, the injured party must prove that the property owner was negligent. This involves demonstrating that:
- The property owner had a duty to maintain a safe environment.
- The property owner breached that duty by failing to address a hazardous condition.
- The hazardous condition caused the victim’s injury.
- The victim suffered damages as a result of the injury.
Gathering evidence to prove these elements can be challenging, which is why it is crucial to work with an experienced New Jersey personal injury lawyer.

- Medical expenses: This includes past and future costs related to the injury, such as hospital bills, surgeries, physical therapy, and medications.
- Lost wages: If the injury prevents the victim from working, they may be able to recover compensation for lost income.
- Pain and suffering: This includes compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and any negative impacts on the victim’s quality of life.
- Loss of consortium: In some cases, the victim’s spouse may be entitled to compensation for the loss of companionship and support resulting from the injury.
