A lawsuit may follow 6 months after the notice is received. For extraordinary circumstances, a judge may allow a late notice within 1 year.

Questions people ask
How much does a slip and fall lawyer cost in Hoboken?
Most slip and fall lawyers in New Jersey work on contingency, so the fee comes out of any recovery. Court Rule 1:21-7 caps it at 33⅓% of the first $750,000, figured after case costs. None of the 3 Hoboken firms we ranked for slip and fall cases publish their fee.
How long do I have to sue after a slip and fall in New Jersey?
Usually 2 years after the injury, under N.J.S.A. 2A:14-2(a). If a public entity is involved, like a city vehicle or road, written notice is due within 90 days, under N.J.S.A. 59:8-8.
Is a store responsible if I slip and fall in New Jersey?
Not automatically. A business must use reasonable care to keep its premises reasonably safe, including reasonable inspection. Usually it must have known of the hazard or should have found it, but in self-service areas that proof may not be needed. Source: Model Civil Jury Charge 5.20F (revised November 2022).
Is a premises lawyer the same as a slip and fall lawyer?
Yes. Slip and fall, premises and trip and fall lawyers handle the same cases, so the firms on this page handle them.
