Injury Claims for General Negligence in Pennsylvania & New Jersey

When someone’s careless actions cause serious harm, we help you get the answers and accountability you deserve.

Not Every Injury Is a “Freak Accident”

Negligence means someone didn’t take reasonable care—and that failure hurt someone else. You don’t have to be inside a store or business to have a valid injury claim. From careless property maintenance to irresponsible conduct in public or private settings, general negligence can take many forms. We help clients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey understand their rights and pursue recovery when someone else’s actions cross the line.

Examples of General Negligence Cases We Handle

If you were hurt due to someone’s failure to act responsibly, we may be able to help. These are just a few examples:

  • Falling tree limbs or objects on private property
  • Injuries at short-term rentals like Airbnb or VRBO
  • Unsafe stairs, handrails, or balconies in homes
  • Injuries caused by careless maintenance workers or contractors
  • Unsecured pets that cause bites or trip hazards
  • Recreational injuries due to poor supervision or facility issues

If your situation doesn’t fit a mold, that’s okay. We’ll listen and figure it out together.

General Negligence Claims in Pennsylvania & New Jersey?

Start with answers, not confusion.

  • What counts as “negligence” in a legal case?

    Legally, negligence means someone had a duty to act with reasonable care, and they failed—causing you harm. That could be a homeowner ignoring a broken step, a dog owner not using a leash, or a maintenance worker leaving hazards behind. We help prove that their actions (or inaction) directly led to your injuries.

  • Do I need to be on a business property to have a case?

    No. While many cases happen in stores or public places, you can have a valid claim if you were injured on private property or even in someone’s home. What matters is whether the person responsible acted carelessly and whether their actions caused your injury. We’ll look at the details and give you a straight answer.

  • What if the person responsible is someone I know?

    That’s common. Many general negligence cases involve landlords, neighbors, or friends. Filing a claim usually means working with their insurance—not suing them personally. We handle these cases with care and discretion, so you can pursue compensation without damaging relationships unnecessarily.

  • Can I sue if I was partially at fault?

    In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, yes—if you were less than 51% responsible. For example, if a property owner was mostly at fault but you were distracted when the injury happened, you can still recover damages (though the amount may be reduced). We’ll evaluate liability and explain what’s possible.

  • Is there a time limit for these types of claims?

    Yes. Most injury claims in PA and NJ must be filed within two years. But every situation is different, especially if public property is involved. Contacting a lawyer early helps ensure nothing gets missed—and gives us time to gather the right evidence.
