What is Premises Liability?
Premises liability refers to the legal responsibility of property owners and occupiers to maintain their property in a reasonably safe condition. When they fail to do so, resulting in injury to a visitor or guest, they can be held liable for the damages caused.
In New Jersey, property owners owe a duty of care to those who enter their property. This duty varies depending on the visitor’s status:
- Invitee: Someone invited onto the property for business purposes, such as a customer in a store. The highest duty of care is owed to invitees.
- Licensee: A social guest or other individual allowed onto the property for non-business reasons.
- Trespasser: Someone entering the property without permission. While the duty of care to trespassers is limited, certain exceptions exist, such as for children attracted to a hazardous condition.
If property owners fail to take reasonable steps to address hazards or warn visitors about them, they may be held liable for injuries.
Common Types of Premises Liability Cases
Premises liability encompasses a wide range of accidents and unsafe conditions. Some of the most common cases handled by a Parsippany premises liability lawyer include:
- Slip and Fall Accidents: These occur due to wet floors, uneven surfaces, ice, or poorly maintained walkways.
- Inadequate Security: Injuries resulting from assaults or crimes due to lack of proper lighting, surveillance, or security personnel.
- Defective Stairs or Railings: Dangerous staircases, broken railings, or missing handrails can lead to serious injuries.
- Swimming Pool Accidents: Drowning or injuries caused by unsafe or improperly maintained swimming pool areas.
- Dog Bites: Property owners may be liable for injuries caused by their pets.
- Falling Objects: Injuries caused by items falling from shelves or ceilings.
- Fire and Electrical Hazards: Injuries or deaths resulting from poorly maintained wiring, appliances, or fire hazards.
If you’ve experienced any of these incidents, it’s crucial to consult with an experienced premises liability attorney to discuss your legal options.
Proving Premises Liability in NJ
To succeed in a premises liability claim, the injured party must prove the following elements:
- Duty of Care: The property owner must have owed a duty of care to the injured party. This depends on the injured party’s status as an invitee, licensee, or trespasser.
- Breach of Duty: The property owner failed to fulfill their duty by not addressing a hazardous condition or warning visitors about it.
- Causation: The hazardous condition directly caused the injury.
- Damages: The injured party suffered damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering, due to the incident.
Evidence plays a critical role in proving these elements. Documentation like photographs, video surveillance, medical records, and witness statements can strengthen your case.
