In a Personal Injury case involving a slip and fall accident, the question often arises is to whether or not the owner of the store or the owner of a home has to have had prior knowledge of the dangerous condition that caused you to be injured. And the answer to that question is yes, they do. But what you also have to know is there is something in New Jersey called Constructive Notice, which means that if the condition has existed for a long enough period of time that any reasonable person observed or should have observed the condition, that satisfies the Notice Requirement and the person could be caused to respond in damages for your injuries.
