Precipitation in the form of ice and snow may be considered an "act of God," but uncleared accumulated ice and snow on walkways used by people is seen as human negligence. Property owners and storekeepers owe a duty of care to people who come onto their properties, such as customers, clients, patients, tenants, repair people, delivery personnel or passersby.
How will you know who is responsible after you fell on an icy sidewalk abutting a New Jersey business: the business owner or the property owner? Sometimes the terms of a commercial lease make that clear. An experienced premises liability lawyer is knowledgeable about how to determine who is liable after a serious accident and how to pursue compensation that the injured person needs to cover expenses and losses:
- Medical bills
- Lost wage replacement
- Related expenses
