Slip and Fall Accidents in Massachusetts
Slip and Fall accidents can happen in various environments, often leading to serious injuries and costly medical bills. In Massachusetts, property owners are responsible for maintaining safe premises and may be held liable for injuries caused by hazardous conditions. Attorney Adela Aprodu provides dedicated representation for slip and fall victims, ensuring they receive fair compensation for their injuries.
What Constitutes a Premises Liability Claim?
Premises liability claims arise when a person is injured due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property. Common causes of accidents include:
- Wet or Slippery Floors: Floors that are wet or not properly marked after cleaning.
- Uneven Surfaces: Sidewalk cracks, loose floorboards, or torn carpeting.
- Obstructed Pathways: Objects blocking walkways, creating tripping hazards.
- Poor Lighting: Dim or inadequate lighting that obscures hazards.
Property owners must maintain safe environments for visitors and address hazards promptly. When they fail to do so, injured parties may be eligible for compensation.
Potential Damages in a Premises Liability Claim
Victims of slip and fall accidents may seek compensation for damages such as:
- Medical Bills: Reimbursement for treatment, rehabilitation, and future medical costs.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for missed work due to injury and recovery.
- Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages for physical pain and emotional distress.
- Permanent Disability: Compensation for long-term or permanent injuries that affect daily life.
Slip and fall claims depend on establishing liability and proving that the property owner’s negligence led to the injury.
