What You Need to Prove in a New Jersey Slip and Fall Case

Cellino Law must establish that the property owner had actual or constructive notice of the dangerous condition and failed to address it. Actual notice means they knew about the hazard. Constructive notice means the condition existed long enough that a reasonable owner should have discovered and fixed it. The longer a hazard persists unaddressed, the stronger the argument for constructive notice.

Critical evidence in slip and fall cases includes surveillance footage, incident reports, prior complaint records, weather data, maintenance logs, and witness accounts. Much of this evidence is time-sensitive and must be preserved quickly. Cellino Law begins gathering evidence immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I did not report my fall to the store or property manager?

Reporting the fall creates an official record, which is valuable evidence. However, failing to report does not eliminate your right to pursue a claim. Other evidence, including medical records, witness accounts, and surveillance footage, can establish what happened. Contact Cellino Law as soon as possible after any slip and fall so we can begin gathering the evidence your case needs.

What if the property owner says they had no idea about the hazard?

Under the constructive notice standard, property owners are legally responsible for conditions that a reasonable inspection would have discovered. If a hazard existed for an extended period, the owner cannot simply claim ignorance. Cellino Law will investigate the maintenance history and inspection records to establish what the owner knew or should have known.

How long do I have to file a slip and fall claim in New Jersey?

New Jersey’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Missing this deadline permanently eliminates your right to seek compensation. Contact Cellino Law promptly to protect your rights.
