New Jersey Legal ArticlesWhat To Do If You Have Slipped Or Fallen In A Store1. CONTACT THE MANAGER OF THE STORE: We seem to be programmed after we fall in a public place, to feel embarrassed and walk away hoping no one saw us. The problem with this behavior is that the store isn't notified of the incident, how it happened, whose fault it is and if you are injured. If you are hurt and it is because of a problem they caused or allowed to exist, they should be made aware of it right after it happened so that they can see that it was their fault, if that is the case. Inform the manager that you want an incident report completed.Read More »

No-Fault ClaimsThe law firm of E. Gregory M. Cannarozzi, Counselor-at-Law, L.L.C., emphasizes representation of all medical providers and patients with respect to no-fault claims. When an individual is injured in an automobile accident, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 39:6A-1 et seq. the New Jersey No-Fault Statute, s/he is entitled to PIP (personal injury protection) benefits, under certain conditions. The purpose of No-Fault Act is social legislation intended to provide insureds with the prompt payment of medical bills, loss wages, and other such expenses without making them wait the outcome of protracted litigation in Court.
