As experienced New Jersey and New York fall injury lawyers, we know that you need a legal recovery to pay your medical expenses, out of pocket expenses and to compensate you for your lost wages and pain and suffering. We also know that there are common problems in premises liability cases that may make your recovery difficult, but we are committed to working hard to overcome those issues and to fighting for your just recovery.
How the Defendants Will Try to Prevent Your Recovery
Commonly, defendants in New York and New Jersey fall accident cases will acknowledge that you are injured, but claim that it is not their fault. They will claim one or both of the following:
They Are Not the Legally Responsible Party: If the property is owned and managed by two different parties, then they may point their fingers at one another and try to deny liability.
You Caused Your Own Injury: The property owner or manager is not responsible every time you fall down a flight of stairs or slip in a grocery store. If you tripped because of your own carelessness and not because of the owner or manager’s negligence, then the owner or manager is not responsible for your injuries and defendants often claim that it was your negligence, not theirs, that caused your injury.
