Personal Injury Lawyers for Shopping Mall Accidents
Shopping malls and the businesses located there are responsible for reasonable maintenance of their property in order to prevent injuries to customers and other visitors. If you have been injured in a fall or other accident at a shopping mall, you are likely owed compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Helping People Injured Due to Slippery and Dangerous Conditions
Shopping malls are typically crowded, busy places where there are many circumstances that can lead to customers slipping and falling. Someone may spill juice or soda on a hard tile floor. Clothing and other products may be poorly hung on racks and end up scattered around.
When people fall due to these hazardous conditions, they can find themselves with serious injuries such as broken bones. Shopping malls and stores can be held legally responsible for injuries that occur under these circumstances.
If you have been injured in a fall at a shopping mall, it is more likely than not that your injuries are not your fault. You may be personally embarrassed, but as far as New Jersey law is concerned, it is the management who should be embarrassed.
Handling a Full Range of Shopping Mall Injuries
While slip and fall accidents are the most common cause of shopping mall injuries, malls and stores are liable for other types of injuries that occur on their property, including injuries caused by inadequate security.
For instance, popular holiday sales require special security attention to avoid situations where customers get shoved and trampled when the doors open. When the appropriate level of security isn't provided, people can get seriously injured.
Determining Whether the Mall or Store Is at Fault
One element of any shopping mall case is determining whether it was the mall management or an individual store that was responsible for your fall or other injury. While injuries that occur in common areas will generally be the mall's responsibility, there may be exceptions.
Our attorneys will comprehensively analyze your accident circumstances to make sure we are pursuing compensation from the right source. Contact us to begin the process of evaluating and investigating your case so you can get the results you deserve.
