How Liability is established in a Slip, Trip, and Fall Accident Case 

In order to successfully recover compensation in a premises liability claim, you must first prove negligence. In slip, trip, and fall accidents, you will need to prove that: 

• There was a hazardous condition on the property. This may include a slick or wet surface, poorly lit corridors, torn or worn carpeting, lack of railings on stairways, or uncovered holes in the garden. 
• The owner or manager of the property should have known or was already aware of the danger 
• The owner or manager of the property failed to provide adequate warning of the hazard. Property owners or managers are required to provide warnings such as clear signage, safety cones, or other safety barriers to warn people of the safety hazard. 
• The owner or manager of the property failed to repair the dangerous condition in a reasonable amount of time. 
• Your injuries and damages were a direct result of the dangerous condition.

It is also important to establish what type of guest you were at the time of the accident. This is because different types of guests have different levels of protection under the premises liability law in New Jersey. Visitors to a property can be categorized as: 

• Invitees – These include patrons to a business or public property for example if you were a customer in a shop when the accident occurred. The owner of the property will own you the highest level of protection. They are responsible for ensuring that the property is safe. 
• Licensee – This is a private guest to a privately owned property. For example, you are a licensee if you are invited to the home of a family member. The property owner in this case is required to inform you of the hazardous condition. 
• Trespassers – These include those who enter private property without permission from the owner. They have owned very little responsibility from the property owner. 
• Children – Children are a special category as they cannot take the same responsibility for their own safety as an adult. Whether a child was a guest or trespassed onto the property and was injured, the court will hold the property owner responsible for their injuries.
