Does a Property Owner in Quincy, Massachusetts, Owe You Compensation?

It is a property owner’s responsibility in Massachusetts to reasonably prevent slip-and-falls as well as other accidents, including dog attacks and swimming pool accidents. All property owners must take steps such as inspecting their properties for hazards, repairing known defects and warning visitors of existing dangers. Ignoring or skipping these steps could cause preventable accidents and visitor injuries. In these situations, the victims may have the right to file civil suits in pursuit of financial compensation.

If your lawyer can prove that another property owner reasonably would have been able to prevent your slip-and-fall, you might receive financial compensation from the defendant in question. A successful claim could repay you for your past and future lost wages, medical bills, legal fees, pain and suffering, and more.
