Happy Memorial Day from the Law Office of Howard P. Lesnik, LLC
As Memorial Day weekend begins, all of us at Howard P. Lesnik, LLC wish you and your family a safe, relaxing, and meaningful holiday.
Memorial Day is a time to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. It is also one of the busiest travel weekends of the year across New Jersey. Whether you are heading “down the shore,” attending a barbecue, traveling on the Garden State Parkway, or enjoying time with family and friends, safety should always come first.
Here are a few important Memorial Day safety tips for New Jersey residents:
• Never drink and drive. Always designate a sober driver or use a rideshare service.
• Expect heavy traffic on New Jersey highways including the Garden State Parkway, NJ Turnpike, and Route 80.
• Stay alert for motorcycles, bicyclists, and pedestrians as warmer weather brings more people outdoors.
• Avoid distracted driving. Put your phone away and keep your attention on the road.
• Wear seatbelts at all times and make sure children are properly secured.
• Boating and beach safety matter too. Wear life jackets and supervise children near water.
• Dog bites increase during outdoor gatherings and parties. Always supervise pets around guests and children.
If you or a loved one is injured due to someone else’s negligence, the Law Office of Howard P. Lesnik, LLC is here to help.

** NJ Slip & Fall Accident FAQ – What You Need to Know**

If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall in New Jersey, the steps you take immediately after the accident can directly impact your ability to recover compensation.

✔ **Report the incident** to the property owner, store manager, or landlord and ask for an incident report
✔ **Take photos and videos** of the dangerous condition (wet floors, ice, snow, uneven surfaces, poor lighting)
✔ **Collect witness information** if anyone saw the fall
✔ **Seek medical treatment right away**, even if you feel okay—many injuries appear hours or days later

Property owners in New Jersey have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe conditions. If they knew—or should have known—about a dangerous condition and failed to fix or warn about it, they may be held responsible for your injuries.

Slip and fall cases often involve **proving negligence and notice**, which is why documentation and early action are critical.

⚠️ **Important:** Insurance companies may try to blame you, request recorded statements, or offer quick settlements that do not reflect the true value of your case.

You have **2 years** to file a claim in New Jersey. However, if your fall occurred on government property, you must file a **Notice of Tort Claim within 90 days**.

Howard Lesnik, Esq., NJ Dog Bite Lawyer Secures $250,000 for Victim of Severe Apartment Complex Attack.
A New Jersey resident suffered devastating injuries after being attacked by a loose, dangerous dog at an apartment complex. The unprovoked attack caused multiple lacerations and a severe leg fracture that required emergency surgery and extensive rehabilitation.
Police responding to the scene found the victim seriously injured after witnesses reported the dog had suddenly attacked in a common area. Medical records confirmed a major thigh-bone fracture requiring surgical repair with implanted hardware.
Dog attacks in apartment complexes can lead to catastrophic injuries, especially when property owners fail to control dangerous animals. In New Jersey, both dog owners and property owners may be legally responsible.

🚶‍♂️ **Spring Pedestrian Safety in New Jersey – What Drivers Need to Know**

As the weather warms up across New Jersey, more people are walking, jogging, biking, and spending time outdoors. With the increase in foot traffic during the spring months, **pedestrian accidents often rise as well**.

New Jersey law requires drivers to **stop and remain stopped for pedestrians in crosswalks**. Unfortunately, many serious injuries occur when drivers fail to yield, drive distracted, or attempt to pass vehicles stopped at crosswalks.

Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:
• Failing to stop for pedestrians at crosswalks
• Distracted driving (texting or using a phone)
• Speeding in residential areas
• Drivers turning without checking for pedestrians

Pedestrians have little protection against a moving vehicle, which is why these accidents can lead to **serious injuries such as broken bones, head injuries, and spinal injuries**.

Drivers can help keep New Jersey roads safer by slowing down, staying alert, and always yielding to pedestrians in crosswalks.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a **New Jersey pedestrian accident**, it is important to understand your legal rights.

⚖️ **My NJ Injury Lawyer – Howard P. Lesnik** helps injury victims throughout New Jersey pursue compensation after pedestrian and crosswalk accidents.

❄️ Winter Safety Reminder for New Jersey Drivers & Property Owners ❄️
Winter weather in New Jersey brings more than just snow days—it brings dangerous roads, icy sidewalks, and a sharp increase in serious injuries.
Every winter, I see clients injured in:
🚗 Car accidents caused by snow, ice, and black ice
🚶 Slip and fall accidents on icy sidewalks, parking lots, and steps
🚗 Winter Driving Accidents in New Jersey
Snow and ice do not excuse careless driving. Under New Jersey law, drivers are required to adjust their driving to weather conditions.
Common winter accident causes include:
• Following too closely on icy roads
• Losing control due to speed
• Failure to clear snow or ice from vehicles
• Sliding through intersections on black ice
🚶 Snow & Ice Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners in New Jersey—especially commercial property owners—have a legal duty to reasonably maintain their premises, including clearing snow and ice within a reasonable time after a storm.
Slip and fall injuries often involve:
• Untreated sidewalks and walkways
• Icy parking lots
• Snow-covered stairs and entrances
• Refrozen slush and black ice
⭐️ If you or a loved one was injured in a winter car accident or snow/ice slip and fall in New Jersey, don’t assume you’re out of options. You may have rights—and time limits apply.
