Elements that must be proven
To establish a case of negligence when you fall on snow, you must prove:
- the owner had a duty to keep the area free of snow
- the owner breached that duty and did not keep the area free of snow
- the snow caused you to fall
- you sustained injuries because of falling on snow
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. Maybe they cleared the snow and it melted and froze again. There are many steps to handling a slip and fall on snow 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.
