New Jersey Personal Injury Attorneys

New Jersey Slip and Fall Lawyers

Property owners are required to maintain their property in a safe condition. When they do not, and someone is injured because of a dangerous or hazardous condition, the injured person may be able to file a claim. Often called slip and falls, these types of accidents, when caused by the negligence or misconduct of the owner, can result in injuries such as back injuries, amputations, and head injuries. Our attorneys at Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., have been helping people since 1981. We build strong cases for clients so they can obtain payment for their medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Many property conditions cause injuries. The most common are defective stairways, railings, and ramps, poor lighting, falling debris or merchandise, potholes in parking lots, sidewalk deviations, water on floors, and accumulations of snow and ice. If you have been injured on defective or dangerous property, contact an experienced premises liability lawyer to learn about your rights. Call our Teaneck, New Jersey, or New York City offices to schedule a free initial consultation.

Determining negligence is critical

Whether the accident was the result of negligence depends on many factors. If a property owner knew that a problem existed and did nothing, he or she may be held liable for any injuries and damages that occur as a result of their negligence. At Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., our slip and fall lawyers work with experts who determine whether the defect was a violation of New Jersey maintenance standards. We consult with engineers who identify design and construction defects. If there has been negligent property maintenance, we will find it.

If you have suffered a trip injury caused by negligence or misconduct, you should contact an attorney right away to learn about your options and your rights. However, if you can't hire a lawyer immediately, you should:

• Preserve evidence
• Take photographs
• Record witness statements

You should do these things right away, as the negligent or dangerous conditions that caused the injury can be removed or cleaned up. If the evidence is destroyed, the case will be more difficult to prove. This is one of the serious problems in a premises liability claim. If you meet with an attorney, the initial discussion will certainly cover the existence of evidence as well as its current status.

At Davis, Saperstein & Salomon, P.C., we have helped people seriously injured on defective or dangerous property obtain compensation for their medical bills, lost income, and emotional pain. If you have been hurt because of dangerous premises, contact a slip and fall lawyer who knows how to build a strong argument for you. Our attorneys represent people in New Jersey counties such as Essex, Union, Morris, Bergen, and Hudson, as well as communities such as Teaneck, Passaic, and Trenton.
