Premises Liability and falls
What is Premises Liability?
Premises liability claims occur when someone is injured on another person’s property due to their failure to operate or maintain the premises in a reasonably safe manner. A premise can be anything from an apartment complex to a mall to a hospital or a public park.
The duty of care owed by the owner or operator of a property to a visitor of the property depends upon the nature of the property, as well as the purpose for which the person has come onto the property. The law holds that the highest duty of care is imposed on a commercial property owner to a customer, who has come onto the property for the financial benefit of the owner or operator.
Whether you are a customer, resident, or simply a guest on these premises, you are owed a specific duty of care. That means if walkways are icy, lighting is inadequate, or security is inadequate, the owner or operator of a property may be held liable for any accidents or injuries that occur on that property.
If you have been injured as a result of an unsafe condition, speak with a New Jersey premises liability lawyer from our firm. Consultations are FREE and there is no fee unless we win.

Rich Marcolus from Levinson Axelrod is one of the best professionals that I have ever worked with. He treated my small workmans comp case as though I was his number 1 client. I was always kept up to date during the entire process, and everyone in his staff treated me like family. I would highly recommend Rich Marcolus and the law firm of Levinson Axelrod to anyone in need of assistance with a workmans comp case.

When I was injured on my job, I called Levinson Axelrod for advice on how to proceed with a Workers' Compensation Claim. I was referred to Mr. Todd D. Wachtel, whose professionalism shone through every step of the way. He was very supportive, caring, and attentive to detail. His patience with me and understanding of my situation made me comfortable and confident that I was being represented in the best possible way. Thank you Todd for all your hard work and for the resulting justified settlement. I will certainly recommend you to anyone needing a great attorney. Thanks again.

My attorney Kim Gozsa handled my recent personal injury case as exemplary as she handled my prior case. She epitomizes what Most wish for when seeking the legal defense for a MVA. Always a top professional, strong advocate for justice and a bold negotiator. I can’t thank her enough for the fantastic litigation she provided on my behalf. In a word Kim is Awesome and I would recommend her to colleagues, family and friends without hesitation.
