Slip and Fall Attorney - Ice Accident in NJ and PA

The weather in our area has increasingly become worse each winter. It seems that every other week there is an ice storm, which leads to slip and fall accidents on ice. This can lead to you contacting a slip and fall attorney. In most cases, you may not have known that the surface was icy. Maybe it was black ice. Maybe you were walking very carefully because there was no other path. Maybe you just were not looking down. Whatever the reason is that you didn't notice the ice, it comes back to the same premise that the property owner should have removed the ice or put rock salt or some other substance down to prevent you from slipping and falling on ice.
A slip and fall attorney at The Rubinstein Law Firm, LLC in New Jersey helps individuals and their families who have been injured in all types of fall down accidents.

Potential icy surfaces

  • steps
  • sidewalk
  • street
  • parking lot
  • school
  • library
  • supermarket
  • porch
  • apartment building
  • vacation property
  • church
  • store walkway

Elements that must be proven

To establish a case of negligence when you fall on ice, you must prove:
  1. the owner had a duty to keep the area free of ice
  2. the owner breached that duty and did not keep the area free of ice
  3. the ice caused you to fall
  4. you sustained injuries because of falling on ice

Commercial versus residential property

A business owner has a duty of reasonable care owed to its "invitees" to provide a safe environment. The duty of care requires a business owner to discover and eliminate dangerous conditions on the property and keep it safe. Just because you fell does not mean that the business owner did something wrong. There are many steps to handling a slip and fall on ice case that an experienced attorney will know.

Alternatively, if you fell on residential property, New Jersey law does not impose a duty on a homeowner to maintain the public sidewalk in front of their home in a safe condition.
