Some slip and fall injuries result from a simple case of bad luck for which no one is to blame, but some slip and falls are caused by the negligence of others. If you have been involved in a slip or trip and fall accident in New York or New Jersey, then it is important to know when you may have a potential lawsuit and when you do not.

Generally, you may be able to recover damages if the reason that you slipped or tripped and fell was because a property owner or manager failed to correct a problem that the owner or manager knew, or should have known, about prior to your accident. Your New Jersey and New York slip and fall injury attorney will look to see if the property owner or manager had a legal duty of care to prevent your injury and whether that duty of care was breached; thus, resulting in injuries from a slip and fall accident.

It is always important to contact a New York and New Jersey premises liability lawyer after an accident so that your lawyer can evaluate your case and advise you as to whether you have a slip and fall case.
