Englewood Premises Liability Lawyer

If you’ve been injured in a commercial property on someone else’s property in Englewood, New Jersey, it’s important that you consult with an Englewood Premises Liability Lawyer. A skilled personal injury attorney can help you get compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from accidents caused by unsafe conditions on their property.

What are Examples of Premises Liability Accidents?

  • Trip and fall
  • Slip and fall
  • Falling on a defective sidewalk in front of a commercial property
  • Slipping on a wet floor in a supermarket
  • Slipping on food that was not cleared in a grocery store
  • Falling on uneven stairs
  • Falling because of a broken handrail
  • Tripping because of bad lighting
  • Assaulted in a bar or nightclub
  • Assaulted in a parking lot
  • A dog bite in someone’s house

If you or a loved one was injured in one of these situations, you have legal options that you can discuss with an Englewood Premises Liability Attorney.

An experienced personal injury law attorney can evaluate your case and guide you through the legal process. Taking prompt action is crucial because premises liability claims in New Jersey are subject to strict filing deadlines and specific legal requirements.

What Are The Steps I Can Take?

  • Get medical attention if you feel pain. A lot of these incidents cause broken bones that are treated immediately. Sometimes these incidents cause soft tissue damage that you think will go away. If you have pain in your neck, back, knees, or shoulders that is not going away, make an appointment to get medical attention.
  • To the best that you can, document your accident. This may involve cell phone photos of where the accident took place, and/or photos of your visible injuries.
  • Obtain medical or police records if possible. (If this isn’t possible, don’t worry— your new dedicated personal injury law paralegal will help you do so.)
  • Schedule a free consultation with O’Cathain Law Group Personal injury Law Department immediately. Call to set an appointment so your new Englewood Premises Liability Lawyer can review your possible lawsuit. Consultations with our Personal Injury Law Department are 100% free of charge.

Who Are We Going To Sue?

Determining who to sue in a premises liability case depends on who owns, manages, or controls the property where your injury occurred. We may sue the following, depending upon your lawsuit:

  • Property Owner
  • Landlord
  • Business Owner
  • Business Operator
  • Municipal/Government Entity (REMEMBER: nearly every claim against a government entity must be served within 90 days in New Jersey)
  • Contractor
  • Sub-Contractor

These entities have insurance that will defend against your case and pay compensation if your case is successful.

Do not to accept any money or from any insurance companies or sign any documents from any insurance companies without consulting with a lawyer. Defense insurance companies are not on your side and are not fighting for you. They only want to pay as little money as possible.
