Boston Slip and Fall Lawyers

Pedestrians and customers and/or visitors of retail stores, restaurants, businesses, and even private residences slip and fall every day. Although there are times when these incidents are not necessarily the fault of the property owner, more often than not there is some type of hazardous or defective condition on the property that causes the fall.

Slip & Fall accidents are one of the leading causes of injury in Massachusetts. The injured victims of these accidents often times suffer not only from physical injury, but also from economic loss due to lost wages and medical bills. Many injured victims also suffer from associated mental anguish, including a decreased enjoyment of life.

Regardless of how you feel immediately following a Slip & Fall accident, you should seek the counsel of an experienced Boston slip and fall lawyer right away. Certain injuries may not manifest themselves until days after the accident and, by this time, important physical evidence can be lost and witnesses may become harder to find. Also, even minor aches and pains can often times be an indication of a more significant injury. Therefore, even if you think your injury may be minor in nature, it is important that you seek medical attention right away.
