New Jersey Slip And Fall Legal Questions

You could probably find an attorney to open a file and investigate a claim, but it is a tough case because the school is probably entitled to some immunities under the Tort Claims Act. Also, note that you have ninety days to file a notice of claim, so if you are going to pursue a case, you should contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.  You should contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state).  Personal injury attorneys take  cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research personal injury attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and select a firm that has a record of successful verdicts. If you are unable to find a lawyer who meets these qualifications within your state, sometimes you may contact an out of state lawyer who can refer you to a qualified attorney in your state while providing support related to the issues of medicine.

Its going to depend on the terms and conditions of your lease.  If the landlord warranted to you that they would keep the exterior of the property free from snow, and they didn't, or didn't do so within a reasonable amount of time, then you might have a cause of action against the landlord.  It is also going to depend on whether or not you were injured.  Simply falling, and getting a bruise or scrape doesn't mean the landlord has to compensate you.  If you were injured and could not work, and had medical bills that weren't paid, or missed work, then you ave a compensable injury.  check your lease and find out what the landlord's responsibilities are.  ...

There are immunities provided to state government offices and tort notice requirements that have to be met when you are asserting a claim against a public entity, so if your daughter is significantly hurt, then you should not delay contacting an attorney.   You should contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state).  Personal injury attorneys take  cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed.  Additionally, initial consultations are free.

did you get hurt?  do you have any damages?  did you miss work or have to seek medical treatment?  Clearly the cab company and dispatcher do not have any customer service skills and should not be employed, but if you were not injured, or did not suffer damages then you probably do not have a cause of action against the cab company....

I'm curious as to why your mother was at the first station.  If she hurt her arm, did she require medical treatment?  The fire station may be immune from liability because of the nature of the use of the building.  It could also depend on whether the fire station is for volunteer firefighters, or for paid fire fighters that work for the state or the municipality.  Good Luck....

There are multiple surveillance cameras in the Target, as well as deliveries, other customers, etc.  There might be some way to determine what caused you to fall, and whether or not Target had a duty to keep the floors clean.  The problem is:  what is your damage ?  If you fell, and were told to stay off your leg for a week, did that solve the problem?  Ir is there any follow up required?  If not, you probably do not have a claim because you were not "damaged". ...

It is difficult to answer your question without more details. If your daughter and her friends are in their late teens, then I doubt that you would be exposed to a negligent supervision claim. If they are little kids at an age where common sense suggests that there should be a supervisor present, then you might have a problem if someone gets hurt. You might consider advising your daughter that nobody is allowed to swim in the absence of an adult, and then post a sign that says as much. If the kids are younger, the sign may not be a valid defense, but if they are age then the sign might help you.  Obviously, the best thing you can do is get your daughter to follow the rules.  Please note that by attempting to answer your question, I am not acting as your attorney.
