A slip and fall accident can be perilous for a vulnerable victim, such as someone over the age of 65. In especially dangerous circumstances, such as in a stairwell or at a construction site, a fall accident could also be deadly. People who survive slip and fall accidents often suffer injuries such as painful bone fractures, head trauma or debilitating back injuries.

A slip and fall claim is a type of premises liability civil action. Premises liability laws hold that property owners have a duty of care to reasonably look out for the safety of their visitors. If an owner fails in this duty, resulting in a preventable slip and fall accident, he or she could be financially responsible for the victim’s damages. As the plaintiff in a slip and fall accident claim in Massachusetts, you or your attorney will typically need to prove four main elements for a successful case.
