Premises Liability
Holding property owners responsible for unsafe conditions on their premises
Premises Liability Attorney In Cherry Hill, New Jersey
What Is Premises Liability?
Property owners have a critical duty to address unsafe conditions that may exist on their premises, as these hazards can lead to serious injuries for guests and customers alike. For instance, whether it’s a slip and fall accident resulting from a wet floor in a bustling restaurant or an unsecured item that unexpectedly falls and injures a hotel guest, property owners bear the responsibility of compensating those who are harmed due to such negligence.
This obligation stems from the legal principle that property owners must uphold a duty of care to individuals who visit their property, ensuring a safe environment for all. To learn more about your rights and options, or to discuss a specific situation, we encourage you to reach out to the experienced personal injury team at Boyle & Valenti Law, P.C. today.

What Kinds of Situations Qualify as Premises Liability?
When a property owner fails to address a hazard within a reasonable time, they may be held responsible for injuries that occur on their premises. Issues like poor lighting, obstructed walkways, torn carpets or mats, unstable stairs or handrails, malfunctioning elevators, and uneven steps should be fixed before guests arrive. Slippery floors also pose a serious risk.
However, if the owner was unaware of the hazard—such as when a customer spills something and doesn’t alert staff—they might not be liable. That’s why it’s important to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident to understand your options. To find out if your case qualifies as premises liability, contact the team at Boyle & Valenti Law, P.C.

What Should I Do If I Have an Accident on Someone Else’s Property?
The first step after an injury is to get medical attention and keep all related records. If possible, return to the accident site and take photos that show the conditions that caused your injury. If you’re unable to do this, ask someone you trust to help. If your injury happened on a business or organization’s property, be sure to fill out a written report and keep a copy for yourself. To increase your chances of receiving fair compensation, it’s important to consult with an attorney experienced in premises liability cases. The team at Boyle & Valenti Law, P.C.
