What Happens When You’re Injured at the Home of a Friend or Relative

Slip and fall incidents, fires, injuries caused by inadequate security and other accidents can happen on any property. We often think of such accidents as happening in grocery stores, parking garages, and other common places that are frequented by many people. However, the truth is that many property related injuries occur on private property, and they often happen at the homes of our friends and relatives.

The location of the accident which caused your injuries does not diminish the physical pain and financial trouble resulting from your injuries. Whether you fall down the stairs at your sister’s house or the mall, your potential physical injuries are the same and your recovery does not have to be any more complicated.

You understand that your friend or relative did not intend to cause your harm and, because you care for your friend or relative, you may be hesitant to pursue damages. You do not want to lose your friend, anger a relative, or cause financial harm to someone whom you love. However, it is important to remember that your damages are unlikely to come out of your friend or relative’s pocket. Instead, your friend or relative likely has homeowner’s or renter’s insurance that will pay your damages for a premises liability injury incurred at your friend or relative’s home.

While your friend or relative did not cause your injury, neither did you. You shouldn’t have to incur the financial burden of the medical bills, lost income and out-of-pocket expenses any more than your friend or relative should.

Thus, if you have been injured at a New Jersey or New York home accident, then it is important to contact a New Jersey and New York injury lawyer as soon as possible to discuss how you might pursue damages and maintain your personal relationship.
