Highly Qualified Jersey City Premises Liability Attorneys
Also Serving Clients in Newark and Union City
Premises liability is, on the surface, a very simple legal concept. It states that the owner or a manager of a certain property is legally responsible for maintaining that property so that it poses no threat of injury to people using it responsibly. One of the most common examples of premises liability is the slip and fall case. If a property owner fails to clear water or ice from their steps, and someone climbing those steps slips and falls, the property owner may be found liable for the injuries. The injury lawyers at Zavodnick, Perlmutter & Boccia, LLC possess decades of combined experience helping Jersey City, Union City and Newark residents battle premises liability and other personal injury cases.
