Protecting The Rights of People Injured As A Result of Negligence

Snow and ice are naturally slick and present serious dangers if property owners and managers do not take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of people who are on their premises. Reasonable inspections and the use of sand and/or salt can avoid devastating injuries that all too often occur when someone falls on slippery surfaces that have not been properly maintained. Landlords or snow removal contractors oftentimes take shortcuts in order to save money. Sometimes they fail to maintain sufficient equipment and/or supplies or utilize inadequately trained workers. All too often piles of plowed snow are left to melt and refreeze without any thought to the dangers presented by the runoff. When the safety of unsuspecting pedestrians or operators of motor vehicles are thus placed in peril, New Jersey premises liability laws provides a remedy.

When companies responsible for proper snow or ice removal ignore common sense and leave people exposed to unnecessary dangers they are required to compensate innocent victims. When the accumulation of ice or snow is caused by the negligence of a property owner, manager or contractor it is just like any other slip and fall or premises liability claim.

Insurance company lawyers routinely try to shift the blame in an attempt to avoid responsibility and deny compensation to innocent victims. They often argue the injured party was responsible for their own accident. To the contrary, momentary inattention or the failure to anticipate or appreciate the existence of hazardous conditions should be anticipated by property owners, managers and contractors. It is their responsibility to take proper measures to eliminate the risk of slip and falls or skids by utilizing all reasonable measures available. Providing safe premises and proper traction would avoid accident in the first instance.

Lawsuits deter carelessness by landlords, property owners, condo associations and contractors who should carefully perform snow removal. Pursuing legitimate legal claims helps to ensure safety for everyone.
