What Are My Legal Rights After a Slip and Fall Accident?
If you've been involved in a slip and fall accident in New Jersey, you may be wondering what your legal rights are. According to New Jersey Statutes section 2A:15-5.1, an injured person's own negligence will not prevent them from seeking compensation from other parties as long as they were not more than 50% responsible for the accident.
In order to protect your rights, it's important to take certain steps after a slip and fall accident. These include calling the police, taking pictures of the unsafe conditions that caused the accident, and asking any witnesses for their contact information. Additionally, it's important to file a claim for personal injury within two years of the date of the accident.
