Unsafe Property Caused Your Injury?

Snow can melt, ice can disappear, spills are cleaned, defects are repaired, and surveillance footage may be overwritten. Prompt photographs, witness information, incident reports, preservation demands, and weather or maintenance records can make the difference.

Fusco Law investigates who owned, occupied, maintained, inspected, or controlled the property and whether a contractor, tenant, business, municipality, or security company shares responsibility.

Preparing for a premises liability consultation

Tell us where the incident happened, what condition you encountered and whether it was reported. A family member or caregiver can help organize information and make the first contact. You do not need a complete file before calling.

• Keep photographs showing both the condition and the surrounding area, if they can be obtained safely.

• Save incident reports, receipts and the names of witnesses or people notified.

• For a snow or ice incident, record the time, location and conditions you remember.

• Keep original communications and identify any cameras that may have captured the incident.

Avoid putting yourself at risk to collect evidence. Discuss what happened and what information you already have; the firm can explain what further investigation may be appropriate.

The New Jersey Courts’ model civil jury charges provide background on negligence and property-condition cases. The applicable duties and instructions depend on the property, the parties and current law; a fall by itself does not establish liability.
