Introduction – Tracy Paulsen, Founder of Rightful Legal
Good afternoon. Tracy Paulsen, founder of Rightful Legal, a Massachusetts-based personal injury firm. Today I wanted to talk about accidents that you don’t hear about as much—slip and falls in Massachusetts.
Slip & Fall Accidents – A Less Talked About but Serious Injury Case
In Massachusetts, there’s a legal duty that owners of a property must maintain safe conditions for people. This includes removing ice, snow, and protecting against uneven surfaces.
Property Owner’s Legal Duty – Safe Conditions, Ice and Snow Removal
These cases can be tricky. Just because there’s a dangerous condition on the property doesn’t mean that the property owner is automatically liable. The property owner should have known or reasonably have known about the dangerous condition and failed to fix it within a reasonable amount of time.
Proving Negligence
If you’ve been involved in a slip and fall accident, it’s important to document as much as you can. Take photographs, get witnesses’ names and numbers, and seek medical attention as quickly as possible.
Legal Time Limit
There’s also a time limit to bring these claims. In Massachusetts, typically it’s three years from the date of injury.
