Sussex County Premises Liability Lawyers

We walk out our doors every day under the assumption that the places we visit will be safe and free of hazard. The local supermarket shouldn’t have sinkholes in the floor. The stairwell to our offices or apartments should have handrails and working lights. That dog tied up outside your favorite cafe should be safe to walk past. But what happens when this isn’t the case? When our trust in the safety of our surroundings is betrayed and we are left hurt and misused? If this has happened to you, then you may have a case for a premises liability lawsuit. Contact our dedicated premises liability lawyers for assistance today.

You Have the Right to Be Safe: Our Premises Liability Lawyers Protect That Right

A property owner has an obligation to keep their location safe for those invited onto the premises. If it can be proven in a court of law that a property owner was negligent in maintaining the safety and security of that property, which subsequently resulted in your injury, then you may be compensated for those injuries. Our skilled Sussex County personal injury lawyers are here to help you pursue the compensation you deserve and need.

Are You an Invitee, Licensee, or Trespasser?

In the state of New Jersey, visitors are split into three categories:

• Invitees: These are people who are invited onto a property, such as a customer in a store. Property owners owe the highest degree of safety to these individuals. In these cases, an owner is expected to take reasonable care to ensure that a property is safe for those who enter.
• Licensees: These people legally enter a property for their own reasons or as social guests. They are present only at the consent of the owner.
• Trespassers: A trespasser enters a property without any right to do so. There is really no promise that reasonable care has been taken by the owner to make sure that the property is safe. A property owner could be liable for injuries involving a trespasser if the property owner created artificial conditions that drew the trespassers onto the property with the knowledge that serious injury could occur (this is known as the Attractive Nuisance Doctrine).

What Are Common Examples Of Premises Liability Cases?

These cases can take many forms, but they all share one commonality: individuals were wrongly exposed to unsafe conditions. You may be eligible for compensation if:

• You are on someone’s property and slip and fall due to unsafe conditions
• You are at a casino or bar and are struck by an over-served and drunken patron
• You are a lawful visitor and a dog bites you
• You are at a swimming pool, and an accident occurs
• Defective appliances lead to a burn or other injury
• You are visiting someplace and are injured when a fire occurs
• Insufficient security at a place leads to you becoming the victim of a violent crime
• Toxic fumes from an establishment cause you bodily harm

If any of these ill-fated outcomes have affected you or a loved one, then we will relentlessly pursue the property owner, their insurance company, and every other avenue because we want to see that you get the critical support you need to recover from this incident!
