Massachusetts Slip And Fall Lawyers

Slips and falls can occur anywhere and at anytime, turning a regular day into a nightmare filled with injuries and confusion. Finding a specialised slip and fall accident lawyer in Massachusetts can help you get the compensation you deserve after being injured.

Slip and fall accidents, which are commonly classified as premises liability claims, may arise from slipping on a wet floor, frozen walkway, uneven sidewalk, or even poorly lit staircases.
In Massachusetts, all property owners whether private, public, or commercial, are required to ensure that their property is safe and secure for visitors.

• Parking lots that need maintenance
• Leaks, spills, and damp surfaces
• Broken sidewalks
• Uneven paths
• Missing tiles
• Steps or curbs without the appropriate marks
• Craters or damaged curbs
• Stairs without sidewalks
• Poor lighting
• Hazards for tripping, such as power wires
• Failure to remove snow or ice throughout the winter

A slip and fall accident may be shocking, painful, and severely impact your ability to conduct day-to-day tasks. To ensure your safety and wellbeing both presently and in the future, follow these steps:

• Get Medical Help Right away:
  Your well-being comes first. Without a medical examination, internal injuries or concussions may go undetected, even if they appear minor.
• Report the Accident:
  Inform the manager or owner of the property as soon as you can about the accident. Make sure an accident report is made if the incident happened at a business, and ask for a copy for your records.
• Record Everything:
  Record the accident scene with pictures or videos, noting the hazard that led you down and any relevant signs—or lack thereof and collect the names and contact information of any witnesses.
• Preserve Your Clothes and Shoes:
  The clothes and shoes you wore during the accident can be used as evidence. Do not wash or modify them.
• Pay Attention to Communications:
  Avoid blaming anyone for the accident or sharing details about it with witnesses or on social media and be careful when speaking with insurance representatives, since they might use your words against you.

Individuals who slip and fall may get severe injuries including fractures to different bones, back and spine injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. These injuries may cause people to suffer from pain, emotional distress, and permanent damage that keeps them from working or conducting everyday tasks. Injuries from slips and falls may also leave victims with diminished mobility, making it difficult for them to partake in activities they enjoyed prior to their injury.

When slip and fall incidents occur on someone else’s property, personal injury claims may be made for a variety of benefits, such as:

• Lost earnings as well as the inability to generate money in the future.
• Future and ongoing medical costs associated with the injuries.
• Physical pain and suffering, as well as emotional distress.
• The expenses associated with medical supplies, prescription medications, home health care aids, and disability-related home modifications.
• Seeking legal guidance from a skilled Massachusetts slip and fall attorney can help you secure the benefits you deserve.

In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for slip and fall incidents is three (3) years from the date of the incident. This implies that you have three years from the date of the slip and fall to bring legal action against the person or parties that caused your injury. You may lose the ability to pursue legal action if you miss this deadline.
