Slip and Fall

Jersey City Slip and Fall Attorneys

Retailers, parking garages, and other business property owners are required to maintain safe, hazard free premises. When disrepair, debris, or unsafe conditions result in injuries to customers and patrons, property owners can be held liable for the injuries that occur. At the law offices of Joseph M. Ghabour, we investigate the cause of slips and falls, gathering evidence, taking photos, and interviewing witnesses as soon as possible. If construction or repair work is involved, we pursue the contractor or subcontractor responsible, as well as the property owner having the work done. Our personal injury lawyer works with medical specialists and other experts in determining the scope and financial impact of your injuries in recovering damages proportional to the costs created by them.

Don’t wait until you can’t pay the bills or work anymore – contact the law office of Joseph M. Ghabour. We will evaluate your case and determine the best course of action for getting you back on your financial feet again.

Slips and Falls and Property Owner Negligence

The law office of Joseph M. Ghabour represents clients injured due to following:

• Icy sidewalks
• Exposed wiring
• Poorly lit stairwells
• Slippery hallways or aisles
• Broken glass on parking lot
• Debris from construction work on floor
• Malfunctioning escalators / automatic doors

Investigating Negligence – Who’s to Blame

Retailers are responsible for keeping their store aisles and entrance ways free of any potential hazards. When clothes, food, or other products are left on the floor, when ice or debris covers the pavement at the front of a building, businesses are required to remove it. When employees deny any wrongdoing or when property owners claim they’re not responsible, our attorney request work and maintenance schedules, interviews employees, and requests surveillance video footage to expose negligence on the part of stores and businesses.

Providing Financial Recovery for Our Clients

Slips and falls can involve serious back and neck injuries. What might at first appear as a minor pulled muscle can later manifest itself as a debilitating injury resulting in chronic pain and reduced mobility. As your personal injury lawyer, Joseph M. Ghabour consults economists and life care planners to determine the real costs of your injury. We look at the cost of future medical treatment, physical therapy, pain medication, and lost earnings. Our office quantifies your costs and demands a settlement or award consistent with you current and future costs.
