Personal injury as a result of negligence including 'slip and fall' accidents, and dog bites

Premises liability cases, sometimes referred to as ‘slip and fall’ cases, occur when a property owner or custodian is negligent in the maintenance, repair and upkeep of property. Massachusetts laws require business and residential property owners to maintain their property free of unreasonable risk to those who are lawfully there.

Accidents caused by negligence frequently happen at grocery stores, shopping malls, restaurants, apartment buildings, office building, workplace, and on sidewalks and stairways.

Property liability may also apply to dog owners or custodians as they are liable for dog bites and other injuries caused by their pets, according to Massachusetts law.

Premises liability accidents can result in serious medical injuries, overwhelming medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, but they may all be compensable, depending on how the accidents happened, and there may also be money available specifically to pay for the bills, even without negligence.
