Understanding the Statute of Limitations
In New Jersey, there is a statute of limitations that dictates the timeframe within which you must file a lawsuit after a slip and fall accident. Typically, you have two years from the date of the accident to initiate legal action. Failing to file within this timeframe may result in the loss of your right to seek compensation.
Dealing with Comparative Negligence
During a slip and fall lawsuit, the property owner or their insurance company may attempt to assign partial blame to you for the accident. This tactic, known as comparative negligence, aims to reduce the amount of compensation you receive based on your level of fault.
Common arguments presented by property owners may include:
- You were in an area not typically accessed by visitors.
- You were distracted and not paying attention to your surroundings.
- Your choice of footwear contributed to the accident.
- Adequate warnings were provided regarding the hazardous condition.
Our legal team is well-versed in handling such tactics and will vigorously advocate for your rights to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.
