Newark Premises Liability Lawyer

If you were injured on someone else’s property in Newark, New Jersey law gives you strong legal protections — but proving the property owner’s negligence requires fast action and skilled representation. Sarofiem & Antoun, LLC handle the full range of premises liability cases throughout Newark and Essex County, including slip and fall accidents, dog bites and animal attacks, inadequate or negligent security incidents (apartment complex assaults, parking garage attacks, retail security failures), swimming pool injuries, falling objects, elevator and escalator accidents, fires from defective wiring, and exposure to toxic substances. Under New Jersey premises liability law, property owners owe different duties of care depending on whether you were an invitee (customer or business visitor), licensee (social guest), or trespasser — and even when the owner didn’t know about the specific hazard, they can be held liable under the doctrine of constructive knowledge if they should have known through reasonable inspection. Common defendants include property owners, landlords, tenants, management companies, maintenance contractors, and security firms. Newark’s older buildings, dense apartment complexes, and active commercial corridors create constant risk: broken stairs, icy sidewalks, inadequate lighting in parking garages, untrained security at apartment buildings, and unaddressed hazards in stores and restaurants. Our attorneys move quickly to preserve evidence — surveillance footage from Newark businesses is often deleted within 30 days — identify every liable party, and pursue full compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.
