If you’ve slipped and fallen on another party’s property, you may have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries. At Jason Stone Injury Lawyers, we can help you get the maximum compensation for your pain and suffering, medical costs, and lost wages.
Our Boston personal injury lawyers have years of experience recovering compensation for fall-down accident victims who have suffered serious spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
No matter how minor or severe your wounds are, a Boston slip-and-fall accident lawyer from our team will work hard to hold the at-fault landowner liable for your medical bills, pain, and suffering.
Slips and Falls Are Often Caused By Someone Else’s Negligence
Over the years, our Boston premises liability lawyers have handled hundreds of slip-and-fall cases for people around the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
We’re confident that we have what it takes to investigate your accident and pursue ample compensation, no matter how complicated or severe your case is.
You can count on our personal injury attorneys to hold the at-fault property owner liable for a slip and fall incident caused by any of the following factors:
Icy Sidewalks or Stairs
When stairs or sidewalks develop patches of ice, you can lose your footing and fall. If you’ve suffered an injury due to an icy sidewalk or stairs, our team will investigate the incident and build a claim or personal injury lawsuit against the negligent landowner.
Wet Floors
Wet walkways and slippery floors caused by spilled liquid, rainwater accumulation, leaky roofs, and other factors can create dangerous conditions that could cause you to fall and sustain a severe injury.
If you’ve been hurt after falling on a wet surface at a grocery store or another location, our slip-and-fall attorneys in Boston can help you seek damages.
Debris in Walkways
Small objects in walkways, such as rocks, toys, or trash, can be tripping hazards if you don’t see them in your path. If you’ve fallen after tripping on debris that a property owner failed to remove from their premises, our team can determine if you have grounds for a personal injury claim.
Other Factors
When property owners fail to take proper care of their premises, a lot can go wrong. Our team will work hard to ensure you make a full financial and physical recovery after a fall-down incident caused by any of these additional unsafe conditions:
- Uneven flooring
- Improper maintenance
- Inadequate lighting
- Broken escalator
If you’ve fallen on another party’s property due to one of the hazardous conditions mentioned above, you may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit or claim. Reach out to our highly experienced team to find out if you’re entitled to compensation.

When a Property Owner Can Be Held Liable for an Accident
Private property owners and business owners have a duty of care to provide safe conditions for visitors to their property. If they fail to warn you of potentially dangerous conditions on their property that they knew about or should have known about, they may be held liable for any injuries you sustain from a slip and fall.
In an attempt to minimize your settlement for injuries sustained in a fall-down occurrence, property insurance companies may employ certain strategies. Our skilled Boston slip-and-fall lawyers are aware of the dishonest tactics used by insurance and can fight for the compensation people are entitled to.
What Is Premises Liability?
Premises liability law states that property owners owe a duty of care to visitors of their property by removing or notifying people of potential hazards and keeping their property in good condition for guests.
The level of care owed to each person varies depending on whether the guest was invited or on the property without permission.
What Inadequate Conditions Can Property Owners Be Held Liable for?
If people slip and fall due to unsafe conditions, liable parties may be accountable for a wide range of issues like:
- Inadequate maintenance of safety conditions
- Not addressing icy conditions
- Neglecting to check the property
- Having poor lighting
- Failing to plow a parking lot
- Not maintaining the building properly, such as ignoring loose floorboards
- Failing to promptly clean up spills on floors
- Not ensuring sufficient supervision and training for employees
- Failing to put out wet floor signs
Injuries We Commonly Claim
When owners of residential or commercial properties fail to keep the premises safe, serious injuries can occur. Fortunately, our experienced slip-and-fall accident lawyers in Boston can work with your medical professionals to determine how much it will cost to treat your injuries.
We commonly file premises liability claims involving:
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Head injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Neck injury
- Broken bones
- Catastrophic injuries
- Other common injuries that fall-down victims sustain
Let a Boston Slip and Fall Lawyer Help You

Our team will seek compensation from negligent property owners to cover your medical procedures, emergency medical care, and other costs you incur during the healing process.
Fatal Injuries
If you’ve lost a loved one in an accident, our Boston wrongful death lawyers will investigate and help you seek compensation for the pain and financial setbacks you’ve incurred.
If your lawsuit is successful, you could benefit from any of the following types of wrongful death compensation:

How Long Do I Have to File a Compensation Claim in Massachusetts?
If the property manager or owner’s insurance company rejects your claim or fails to offer fair compensation, you may need to file a civil suit to get the damages you deserve.
To ensure your suit isn’t thrown out, you’ll have to abide by the Massachusetts statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits.
The statute, found in Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 260, § 4, gives you a three-year time limit to file a civil suit.
Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 229, § 2 gives you three years from the day of your loved one’s passing to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
