How can a Boston premises liability lawyer help you with your case?

A premises liability case arises when someone is injured due to the negligence of a property owner or occupier. To succeed in a premises liability claim, you must be able to prove that the party responsible for the property had an obligation to keep it reasonably safe and failed in this obligation, resulting in your injury.

A Boston premises liability lawyer can help you understand the legal process and your rights after an incident on someone else’s property. They will be able to explain the applicable laws, assess whether you have a valid claim, and guide you through the next steps of filing suit.

A knowledgeable premises liability attorney in Boston may also be able to negotiate with the other party to reach an out-of-court settlement that is beneficial for you. Additionally, they can represent your interests in court if necessary and provide legal advice during the litigation process.

In some cases, they may even be able to secure the compensation that goes beyond what you could have obtained on your own. Having a competent lawyer by your side can make all the difference when it comes to obtaining a successful outcome.

What to do after an accident on another´s premises?

  1. Seek medical attention: You must seek prompt medical care if you have been injured in an accident on someone else’s property. This will ensure any injuries are properly treated and documented, which can be important later on when filing a claim or lawsuit.
  2. Notify the owner of the property: You should inform the property owner or other responsible party of the accident and your injuries as soon as possible. This can help to protect you by providing evidence that an incident occurred on their premises, which can be essential for filing a claim or lawsuit later.
  3. Take pictures and document the scene: If you can do so safely, it can be beneficial to take pictures of the scene and any hazards that may have caused your accident. This can help to establish that negligence was a factor in your injuries, which is necessary for pursuing legal action.
  4. Contact an experienced lawyer: Calling a skillful Boston premises liability attorney as soon as possible after an incident on someone else’s property can be incredibly beneficial. A specialized lawyer will be able to protect your legal rights and guide you through the claims process from start to finish.
  5. File a claim: If the property owner’s insurance company is not willing to provide an adequate settlement offer, it may be necessary to file a lawsuit in court with the help of your lawyer. Your Boston premises liability attorney can help you navigate the legal process and represent your interests both in and out of court.

Your Questions Answered

Who is responsible for an injury in a premises liability case?

In a premises liability case, the party responsible for an injury is typically the property owner or possessor. It is their responsibility to keep their premises in a reasonably safe condition, and if they breach this duty, they can be held liable for any resulting injuries.

In Massachusetts, attorneys typically take a fee from any settlement or award they successfully negotiate on behalf of their client. The attorney usually takes their fee out of the overall settlement before distributing the money to the plaintiff, so the amount received by the plaintiff will be slightly less than the actual settlement value.

In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim is generally three years from the date of the incident. This means that you must file your lawsuit within three years of when the incident occurred or else the court may refuse to hear it.

Factors that are taken into account include:

  1. The severity of the injury
  2. The type of negligence or fault involved
  3. Prior actions were taken by the responsible party leading up to the injury

Depending on the court’s ruling, a party may be ordered to pay damages to compensate the victim for their losses or suffering due to the injury.

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
