Legal Question in Personal Injury in New Jersey

Slip and Fall on Ice at Condo Complex

My brother-in-law recieved a summoms stemming from a slip and fall on ice in a parking lot he plows and salts. This fall happened in 2004 and the summons suing him for medical bills is the first he heard of it 3 years later. Does the owner of the complex have any responsibility. Also, he has been plowing for the complex in the years since and was never made aware of any fall in 2004. Can he be held responsible for this?

Re: Slip and Fall on Ice at Condo Complex

He could be held responsible depending on the facts and circumstances of the fall. The owner could also be held responsible. Does your brother-in-law have liability insurance? If so, he should immediately contact his carrier and advise them of the suit. If not, he should consult with an attorney, as an Answer has to be filed and served on his behalf. I have defended many cases such as this one and would be happy to speak with your brother-in-law to discuss this in greater detail. Feel free to contact me or have him contact me.
