New Jersey Snow and Ice Accident Lawyer | David Injury Lawyer
New Jersey Snow and Ice Accident Lawyer
Slip and fall on ice and/or snow are very common ways to sustain injury.
Every winter, I represent individuals who slip and fall on snow and ice. What people often do not understand is that simply because you slip and fall on someone’s property does not make them automatically responsible for your injuries. You must prove that the property owner was at fault.
The law recognizes that in the winter, snow and ice are commonplace. If you slip and fall on naturally occurring snow or ice, there is no legal case.
You must prove that the snow or ice which caused you to slip and fall was the result of an unnatural accumulation. When you fall, determining the cause of the slippery condition is the last thing you are concerned about.
From a legal perspective, it can make the difference between a recovery for your medical bills, lost wages, pain & suffering, and no recovery.
Consulting with the Law Offices of David A. DiBrigida following a slip and fall on snow and/or ice will help in making a recovery.
How We Help Our Clients Recover for Their Personal Injuries
Here are a few of the ways we have proven that snow or ice was not naturally occurring and how we have made a recovery for our clients:
- Ice formed from a gutter or down spout
- Snow plowed, melted, and re-froze causing ice
- Snow not shoveled properly
- Sidewalks not properly salted
These are just a few of the common ways we have proven the cause of the slippery condition which caused my client’s injuries. It is always important to obtain photos in a slip and fall on ice case. Ideally, photos of the actual icy condition which caused the fall are best.
Let’s face it, after you slip and fall you probably are not thinking about taking pictures of what has caused you to fall. In most cases, our investigators will go to the location and take photographs. Often we are able to determine what caused the condition even if it is not readily apparent to you.
Slip and Fall on Snow or Ice Can Happen in Many Places
I have represented people throughout New Jersey in slip and fall on snow and ice cases. Some of the locations where our clients have been injured include:
- Store parking lots
- Sidewalks
- Apartment buildings
- Stairs and landings
Each of these locations have unique challenges in order to prove a legal case. As you can guess, proving a slip and fall legal case can be difficult. For this reason, you should never give a statement to the insurance company about how the accident happened or your injuries.
The job of an insurance company is not to pay claims, but to save money. Often times an insurance adjuster will ask questions in such a way that can hurt your chance to make a recovery.
When you hire the Law Offices of David A. DiBrigida, our job is to make sure your legal rights are protected and prove your case.

Types of Snow and Ice Accidents We Handle
When winter weather strikes, snow and ice create hazardous conditions that can quickly lead to serious injuries. From icy sidewalks to slippery parking lots, property owners and businesses have a duty to keep their premises safe. If you’ve been injured because of unsafe winter conditions, working with our experienced snow and ice accidents lawyer can help protect your rights. Proudly serving New Jersey for 30+ years, David A. DiBrigida has concentrated only on personal injury cases and has personally won over $75,000,000 for his clients. At our firm, we represent clients in a variety of snow and ice accident cases. Below are some of the most common situations we handle.
Slip and Fall on Icy Sidewalks
One of the most frequent winter accidents involves slipping on icy or untreated sidewalks. Property owners are responsible for keeping walkways safe, and when they fail to do so, the results can be painful and costly. We pursue claims to recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, and long-term treatment needs.
Falls in Parking Lots
Snow and ice can turn parking lots into dangerous zones. Poorly plowed areas, hidden ice patches, or insufficient lighting all contribute to accidents. We hold businesses and property managers accountable when their failure to maintain parking areas causes injuries.
Apartment and Housing Complex Accidents
Landlords and property management companies are required to maintain safe living environments, which includes clearing snow and ice. We represent tenants and visitors injured in apartment complexes or housing communities where proper snow removal was ignored.
Workplace Snow and Ice Injuries
Employees exposed to icy conditions during work—such as delivery drivers, construction workers, or warehouse employees—can suffer serious injuries. Our snow and ice accidents lawyer assists workers in exploring all avenues of compensation, including workers’ compensation claims and potential third-party liability claims.
Falls on Public Property
When snow and ice are not cleared from public areas, accidents can occur in places like government buildings, schools, or city sidewalks. These cases involve specific legal rules and deadlines for filing claims against municipalities. Our experience in handling public property claims means that deadlines are met and rights are protected.
Severe Injury and Long-Term Consequences
Snow and ice accidents can result in broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, or spinal damage. These severe outcomes require significant medical care and long-term recovery. Our personal injury lawyer builds strong cases that reflect the full impact of these injuries on your life, so you are not left covering the financial burden alone.
