Sidewalk Accidents in New Jersey
Sidewalk accidents can occur for a wide variety of reasons, though they are frequently caused by unsafe sidewalk conditions. You may be surprised just how many ways in which sidewalks can pose serious dangers to those who use them, such as the following:
- Standing water
- Mis-leveled sidewalks
- Protruding tree roots
- Weather-related hazards
- Cracks or potholes
Keep in mind that after sustaining an injury in a sidewalk accident, there is nothing more important than your health. This is why you should always call the police at once, as they will send medical services to the scene of the accident who can treat you immediately and ensure you’re transported to a hospital for any necessary further treatment. From here, you should make it a point to collect what evidence you can, such as pictures of the dangerous sidewalk conditions or witness statements detailing exactly how the accident occurred.
Don’t Wait to File Your Injury Claim
Once you’re treated in a hospital and find yourself in stable condition, it’s important that you reach out to a knowledgeable sidewalk accident lawyer as soon as you can. Though the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in New Jersey is two years, if you were injured on a sidewalk owned by a municipality or the state, you’ll only have 90 days from the date of your accident to file a Notice of Claim. Overall, the sooner you bring your claim to our attention, the better off you will be.
