About Slip & Fall in Jersey City
In a Jersey City slip and fall case, a plaintiff typically sues a landowner for injuries caused by a dangerous condition on the landowner's premises. Injured persons in these cases may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and permanent physical and non-physical injuries, among others.
There are typically four components to a slip and fall accident case:
- Duty of care
- Breach
- Causation
- Damages
"Duty of care" refers to the legal obligation that landowners have to certain people on their property. When there exists a duty of care, landowners must keep their property safe from known dangerous conditions as well as dangerous conditions that should be discovered upon reasonable inspection of the property.
"Breach" occurs when the landowner fails to observe the required duty of care. "Causation" means that the landowner's breach of the duty of care must be the immediate cause of the injuries. "Damages" requires that the injured plaintiff prove they have sustained legally compensable damages.
Jersey City Litigation
Jersey City is the county seat of Hudson County, and the location of the Hudson County vicinage of the New Jersey Superior Court. It is in this court that an experienced Jersey City slip & fall attorney can help you obtain the compensation you deserve in a slip and fall case.
Hiring the right personal injury attorney can be the difference between being justly compensated for your slip and fall injuries, or having your case dismissed.
