What You Need to Know About Slip and Fall Cases in Massachusetts
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for visitors. When they fail—by not clearing ice, fixing broken steps, or addressing spills—they may be liable for resulting injuries.
To win a slip and fall case, you’ll need to prove that the owner knew (or should have known) about the hazard and didn’t fix it in time. Massachusetts also follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning your compensation can be reduced if you’re found partially at fault.
There’s a three-year statute of limitations, but these cases depend heavily on fast action and preserved evidence.
