If you were seriously injured because of neglected maintenance, construction defects or inadequate lighting or security, contact our experienced premises liability attorneys. Our Rockaway practice represents clients throughout Morris County, New Jersey and nearby counties. We have successfully sued retail stores, apartment complexes, supermarkets and government entities when their negligence caused injury.
Proactive and Thorough Investigation
We send investigators to document the dangerous conditions (if the property owner has not already addressed it), and we find employees, ex-employees or independent witnesses to corroborate the negligence. We also retain engineers to visit the site to identify any building code violations.
To collect damages, we must show that the owner had notice of the hazard (a customer reported a spilled liquid) or constructive notice (routine maintenance or inspections would have revealed the danger).
Government Tort Claims
If the premises owner is a public entity, there are stringent requirements for bringing lawsuits, including advance notification and sufficient damages. Joe Bell is a former County Clerk, and currently serves as legal counsel for Warren County and several Morris County municipalities. His 20 years of practice and knowledge of municipal law enables him to sort out jurisdictional issues relating to liability and properly present the claim to maximize recovery for clients.
We know that slip and fall injuries can be severe (broken bones, head injuries, disabling soft tissue damage). Be assured that Bell & Hassing will take all the steps to make a negligent owner pay for your injuries and losses. Contact us today for a free case evaluation at 973-607-4694. Our lawyers can arrange home and hospital visits, including Saturday or Sunday appointments, and we have a Spanish-speaking paralegal.
