Commercial Property Slip and Fall Injuries

Massachusetts has strict premises liability laws. Commercial property owners and managers must keep their premises safe and free from hazards. If they fail to do so, they can be financially liable for injuries that result.

Commercial property includes venues such as retail stores, malls, office buildings, and grocery stores, as well as the parking lots and sidewalks that surround these businesses. If you slipped and fell on a commercial property, whether inside or outside, let us know. We will start investigating and gathering evidence right away.

Residential Property Slip and Fall Injuries

The state’s premises liability laws also apply to managers and owners of residential property. This means owners of private property can be liable for injuries that result from unaddressed hazardous conditions. If you fell at a home, apartment complex, or another type of residential property, we can help you recover compensation.

One exception to Massachusetts’s premises liability laws involves trespassers and uninvited guests. In general, property owners are not liable for injuries involving a person who was not authorized to be on the property. That said, there is a lot of gray areas, and it is best to speak with a lawyer before assuming that you are or are not eligible for compensation based on the circumstances of your injury.
