What is premises liability? Premises liability law is a simple concept: property owners have an obligation to ensure their land is reasonably safe—either by inspecting and repairing known hazards quickly or by making them obvious to others.
Who does premises liability apply to? Premises liability applies to both businesses and private homes, but high-traffic businesses need to be held especially accountable when their property is unsafe for customers or passerby.
When people are injured from slipping and falling in a grocery store, outside on ice and snow, are struck by cars in a parking lot, or are struck by falling debris near a construction site, the safety of the premises can be called into question. For accident victims who do not have the financial resources to pay for their medical treatment, holding businesses accountable for on-site hazards is especially vital—the law leaves us few other options than to file a personal injury lawsuit with the help of a New Jersey premises Liability lawyer.

The property owner or manager is ultimately responsible for taking the same reasonable safety precautions that other property owners do in similar situations. This includes all the following:
If the property owner caused the problem or knew about it and failed to take adequate steps or warn guests, they can be held legally responsible if it results in injury. The same is true if the property owner reasonably should have known about the hazard. An attorney in New Jersey could help you understand your rights under premises liability laws.
