Premises Liability Attorneys Jersey City, NJ

Premises liability claims are a broad category that take into account nearly any injury that occurs — at least in part — due to some dangerous condition or hazard that is present on the property. The definition of a “dangerous condition” can vary wildly, however, depending on the circumstances. For example, in a standard slip and fall case in Jersey City, NJ, you could ostensibly bring an action against the defendant for failing to clean up a liquid spill that caused you to slip and injure yourself. The spill would quite clearly constitute a dangerous condition. Similarly, in a Jersey City dog bite case, the failure of the owner to confine or otherwise restrain the dog while on the property might give you a legitimate claim under premises liability — after all, you could argue that the unrestrained dog constituted a dangerous condition of the property.

Premises liability claims that we handle in Jersey City include:

Premises liability claims require that a non-obvious dangerous condition — in other words, a hazard — existed on the property and that the defendant either knew or should have known about it. If the defendant did not correct the dangerous condition, or otherwise did not warn visitors of its existence (so that it could be avoided), then you may be entitled to sue and recover damages for the losses suffered.

About Jersey City, NJ

Jersey City is the second-largest city in New Jersey by population, with an estimated 270,753 residents. Located in the far northeast of NJ — along the banks of the Hudson River and opposite New York City — Jersey City is a transportation hub and serves as a “gateway” into the state of New Jersey.

Although Jersey City declined in economic status and population through much of the 1900s, in recent years, there has been an uptick in investment and in the general wealth and infrastructure of the city as companies (particularly finance-adjacent businesses) from NYC begin to move some of their operations to Jersey City. The waterfront has also been redeveloped, and there are plans in place to revamp many of the historic neighborhoods throughout the city.

If you have been injured in a premises liability accident in Jersey City, or anywhere else in the state of New Jersey, you’ll want to consult with an experienced premises liability attorney who can evaluate your claims and determine whether you have something actionable (and worth pursuing).
