According to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, approximately 186,000 residents across the state made emergency department visits due to injuries related to unintentional falls, with more than 30,000 requiring hospitalization. Slip, and falls might occur while roaming around Brookline and taking care of your day-to-day responsibilities while traveling on the Green Line or MBTA bus, or at your workplace. Unintentional falls can happen to anyone at any time, but small children and those over age 65, in the Boston area and across the nation, have the highest risk of sustaining a severe personal injury or even dying as a result of a slip and fall.
At Michael Kelly, we are empathetic to the struggles that slip and fall victims and their families might endure. Physical pain and restrictions during your recovery are sometimes easier to cope with than the financial stress of medical bills and losing wages when missing work. We are here to help you through this difficult time by diligently fighting for you if your slip and fall injury is a result of the negligence of another party.

What to Do After a Slip & Fall Incident in Brookline
If you have been involved in a slip and fall accident in Brookline, you need to take some steps to ensure your personal injury claim goes smoothly. Your attorney will advise you on specific actions, but here are some tips for immediate steps:
-
Go to the hospital
When you fall you might feel sore, but don’t feel the need to seek medical attention. Some slip and fall injuries might not display symptoms for hours or days, especially if you have hit your head. No matter how great you feel, you need to get checked out by your doctor or head to nearby Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, so you have medical documentation for your injury.
-
Gather photographic evidence
Take pictures or videos with your cell phone of where the accident happened and any hazard that led to you slipping. Property owners are motivated to remove the hazard when they learn there was an injury, so immediate photos help provide support for your case.
-
Only speak with your attorney about your case
It’s natural that you might want to share the details of your slip and fall accident with those close to you or on social media, but this isn’t in your best interest. The defense might learn of you comments and use them against you.
