In their most recent general injury data, the Massachusetts Department o Public Health reports that approximately one out of five unintentional fatal injuries are falls and that 28% of injury-related emergency department visits across the state are a result of an unintentional fall. Newton’s picturesque landscapes, including the Boston Marathon‘s famous Heartbreak Hill, and its 13 villages make it a lovely place to go for a stroll, visit local shops, and spend time exploring when you aren’t working. Unfortunately, exploring your surroundings as well as normal day-to-day errands might result in a slip and fall injury when property owners don’t clearly mark hazards or neglect their floors, walkways, and stairways.
At Michael Kelly, we know the stress that a slip and fall accident carries with it. In addition to physical pain and injury, most victims suffer great financial and emotional stress because of missed work and medical expenses. If your slip and fall accident was caused by another party’s negligence, you might be entitled to compensation. If your slip and fall accident has left you with a permanent disability, no amount of money will give you back your health. Yet, holding negligent parties responsible might be able to eliminate some of your financial struggles.

Client Reviews
I contacted the Kelly firm on the advice of a friend who highly recommended them. I did a quick Live Chat on-line and within 10 minutes I was talking with Denis Cooper, Director of Client Relations. During our 20 minute conversation, Denis emailed me the documents for me to fill out and sign electronically. I am not only quite impressed at the speed of getting onboard, but the thoroughness, courtesy and professionalism displayed by Denis. I’m satisfied that I signed on with this firm to represent me.
