Woburn Premises Liability Attorneys Fighting for Fair Compensation for You and Your Family

Private landowners and government entities must safely maintain their property and warn people of potential dangers. Unfortunately, many of them fail to do so, and as a result, innocent people are severely injured.

Massachusetts personal injury law allows accident victims to pursue compensation for damages they have incurred due to someone else’s negligence. Although filing an injury claim may seem relatively straightforward, insurance companies often try to blame victims to minimize their liability.

The best way to protect your legal rights is to hire a Woburn personal injury attorney who will act as your legal advocate with the insurance company.

How Do I Know if I Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim?

If you have been injured on private or public property, you may wonder how to recover compensation for your medical expenses and lost wages. Under Massachusetts law, several legal elements must exist. The negligent party must have owed you a duty of care or an obligation to use reasonable care to avoid harming others. The other party breached that duty, and you suffered injuries due to their carelessness.

Suppose you can prove all legal elements required for a personal injury claim. In that case, you may be able to obtain compensation for your injuries, including medical care, permanent injuries, scaring and disfigurement, pain and suffering, and lost wages. If someone you love has been seriously injured or killed on another’s property, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of consortium and/or wrongful death.

If you have questions or are unsure whether your injury qualifies for a personal injury claim, contact our Woburn personal injury lawyers to schedule a consultation.

Where are People Often Injured in a Premises Liability Case?

Unfortunately, individuals can suffer injuries anywhere property owners or managers fail to maintain their premises. Suppose you have been injured on another person’s property, whether public or private. In that case, you need a skilled attorney to build your case and maximize the chance of securing compensation for your injuries.

Locations where people are often injured include:

• Private residences, such as houses and apartments
• Parking lots
• Swimming pools
• Construction sites
• Restaurants
• Businesses and retail shopping centers
• Government property, including streets, sidewalks, parking structures, parks, and buildings

Many accident victims suffer serious injuries that impede their ability to work and provide for themselves and their families. If you have been injured due to another person’s negligence, allow our attorneys to help file a personal injury claim that will hold the person responsible for their actions.

How Do Premises Liability Accidents Occur?

Just as the locations of accidents can vary, the factors involved in liability claims may also vary. In some cases, premises liability cases result from negligent security or a lack of lifeguards at swimming pools.

Many premises liability accident cases involve slip and fall injuries resulting from unsafe conditions such as:

• Slippery floors
• Narrow stairways
• Defective or broken stairs
• Inadequate lighting
• Uneven or broken walking surfaces
• Inadequate, damaged, or missing handrails
• Cluttered or debris-filled walkways
• Potholes

Many slip-and-fall accident victims suffer spinal cord or traumatic brain injuries that can leave them permanently disabled and in need of expensive lifelong medical care.

What Do I Need to Know About Premises Liability Cases?

Like other property owners, landlords must keep their property in a “safe and habitable condition” and warn people of potential dangers. The landlord is liable when they do not, and a tenant or visitor is injured. A tenant can also sue for damages to personal property, such as a vehicle, television, or computer, which result from unsafe conditions or faulty maintenance.

It is also essential to gather information if you are injured on someone else’s property.

• Take photos to document the circumstances surrounding your injury as thoroughly as possible
• In a slip-and-fall case, keep the shoes you wore at the time of the accident, but do not continue wearing them
• If possible, identify other witnesses and gather their contact information
• Seek medical attention immediately, even if you do not think you have been hurt; internal injuries are not always evident and must be treated immediately
• Do not post any details about the accident on social media
• Contact an experienced personal injury attorney who can assist you with the claims process
