Frequently Asked Questions About Trip and Fall Claims in Hudson County
What is the statute of limitations for a trip and fall case in Hudson County?
Yes. You have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit in New Jersey under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2. Missing this deadline bars your claim.
Do I need to prove the property owner knew about the hazard?
Yes. You must show the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you.
Can I still recover if I was partially at fault for the fall?
It depends. New Jersey uses modified comparative fault. You can recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
What types of hazardous conditions can support a trip and fall claim?
Common hazards include cracked sidewalks, uneven flooring, loose carpeting, poor lighting, wet floors without warning signs, and debris in walkways.
How much does it cost to hire a trip and fall lawyer in Hudson County?
Most personal injury lawyers, including SRIS, P.C., work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront. The fee is a percentage of your recovery, typically 33⅓%.
What is the difference between a trip and fall and a slip and fall?
A trip and fall involves an object or uneven surface that causes you to trip. A slip and fall involves a slippery surface like a wet floor. Both are premises liability claims.
