What New Jersey Law Says About Property Owner Duty of Care

New Jersey law requires property owners to maintain reasonably safe conditions. Under NJ law, a property owner may be held liable when they knew or should have known about a dangerous condition and failed to correct it. NJ premises liability lawyer cases often turn on this critical question of notice. Courts will also apply New Jersey's modified comparative fault rule under N.J.S.A. 2A:15-5.1, which means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. You can still recover damages as long as you are not found more than 50% responsible for the accident. Insurers frequently argue that injured visitors contributed to their own harm, which is why having a premises liability lawyer in Woodbury, NJ on your side matters from the start.
