When Can I Recover Compensation for a Slip and Fall Accident in New Brunswick?
Slip and fall accident cases are a type of premises liability lawsuit. In New Jersey, premises liability laws hold property owners to certain standards in terms of maintaining safe premises for lawful visitors. If a property owner fails to meet these duties of care and a slip and fall accident occurs, the owner can be held financially responsible.
A property owner’s duties of care depend on the status of the visitor. There are three types:
- Invitee: someone who enters a property with permission from the owner for the benefit of the owner, such as a customer entering for business purposes.
- Licensee: someone who enters a property with permission but not for the owner’s benefit, such as a social guest.
- Trespasser: someone who does not have the owner’s permission or lawful authority to enter a property but does so anyway.
Invitees are owed the highest standards of care; property owners must inspect their premises for hazards, repair or remove dangerous conditions, and provide warnings of potential risks. Licensees do not require property owners to inspect for unknown hazards. Property owners generally do not have any obligation to ensure the safety of trespassers.
