Boston Seaport Slip and Fall Accidents: Massachusetts Premises Liability and Your Rights
If you fall and suffer a serious injury at a restaurant, hotel, bar, or other business in Boston’s Seaport District, the fact that you fell does not automatically mean the business is responsible.
I’m Attorney Tracy Paulsen, founder of Rightful Legal, and we represent injury victims in Boston and throughout Massachusetts.
Massachusetts Premises Liability Law
Massachusetts law generally requires property owners and those in control of a property to use reasonable care to keep the premises safe for lawful visitors.
That can become important when an injury involves something like a wet floor, spilled drink, unsafe staircase, poor lighting, defective walkways, snow or ice, or another dangerous condition.
Seaport-Specific Slip and Fall Injury Examples
In Boston’s Seaport District, a serious injury could involve a wet floor or spilled drink at a restaurant or bar, an unsafe staircase or poor lighting at a hotel, a defective walkway outside a business, or snow or ice affecting an area used by lawful visitors.
Slip and fall injuries can also occur at stores and event spaces when a dangerous condition is present.
Who May Be Responsible for a Boston Seaport Slip and Fall?
In the Seaport, determining responsibility may mean looking at more than one company.
It might mean looking at the property owner, restaurant or hotel operator, management company, maintenance contractor, or another party responsible for the area.
Why Evidence Matters After a Slip and Fall
Evidence can disappear quickly, especially surveillance videos.
So, if you were seriously injured at a restaurant, hotel, bar, store, or event space in Boston’s Seaport District, be sure to document what happened and speak with an attorney before important evidence is lost.
Protecting Potential Evidence
A competent attorney will preserve any and all potential evidence right away.
