Shopping Mall & Supermarket Accidents
Morristown NJ Shopping Mall Accident Lawyer
Legal Advice After an Injury in a Commercial Establishment
Commercial property owners have a strict legal duty to people who come onto
their property in order to purchase their products or services. Business property owners have the responsibility to make sure their property is reasonably safe for visitors.
When a visitor is seriously injured due to an unsafe condition on the property — such as in supermarket or shopping mall accidents —the injured person may seek financial compensation, either through negotiation with the business and its insurance company, or by making a formal legal claim.
This concept of commercial property owners’ legal responsibility for the safety of visitors is known as “premises liability.” The most well-known type of accident that leads to a premises liability lawsuit is a slip and fall case, such as when a person falls on an icy sidewalk or parking lot. Other common supermarket or shopping mall accidents include falls due to improperly maintained aisles (such as slippery liquid or debris on the floor), broken stair handrails or escalators, and trips due to potholes in parking lots.
Commercial property owners are responsible to provide a safe and secure premise. Injuries and assaults can also occur when there is inadequate security or insufficient safety lighting. Our office has the experience and resources to properly investigate and retain the appropriate expert to protect your rights.
Seek Legal Advice After Any Injury at a Commercial Establishment
Premises liability cases can be extremely difficult to prove. It is often difficult to document the dangerous condition that led to the accident, whether it occurred at a shopping mall, a restaurant, a supermarket or a retail store.
Whenever possible, we urge people who have been hurt due to a dangerous condition at a commercial establishment to document the dangerous condition and seek immediate legal advice.
