NJ Slip and Fall Case Tests Limits of Hospital Immunity

December 14, 2014 by Carmine Villani

New Jersey’s Charitable Immunity Act protects certain organizations from liability for injuries such as slip and fall. But, one woman who was injured after slipping and falling at a free eye screening, sponsored by the New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired, is suing the hospital for damages, and the NJ Supreme Court is considering her case.
A lower-level court has already ruled against the woman, and an appeals court upheld the decision, based on the Charitable Immunity Act. The decision by the judge stated that the hospital was acting as a charitable organization on the day of the eye screening, as the event was entirely staffed by volunteers and not employees of the hospital.

What Does This Case Mean for NJ Slip and Fall Laws?

If the Supreme Court of New Jersey upholds the decision that the hospital is not liable for any damages, this could give hospitals greater immunity in the future against personal injury claims.
If you have been injured in a slip and fall incident in NJ in a hospital or on the premises of another organization’s property, you need a qualified personal injury lawyer.
