Jany was extremely helpful with getting the process started.
I went into this aimless and not really knowing where to go or who to speak to and she worked with me and my off schedule to make sure she got in contact with me and got the information needed. First impressions are everything and through her I feel stress has been lifted and I’ve chosen the right people to represent me. Thank you!

How Do Slip and Fall Accidents Most Commonly Occur?
Slip and fall accidents are often preventable with proper maintenance and repairs. Our Worcester personal injury lawyers represent people who slipped and fell due to a variety of hazards, including:
- Wet or slippery floors: These hazards can arise when staff members fail to clean or mark spills, leaks, or freshly mopped surfaces.
- Uneven walkways: Cracked sidewalks, loose tiles, or broken pavement can cause someone to trip or lose balance.
- Poor lighting: Dimly lit stairwells, hallways, or parking lots make it difficult for visitors to see hazards in their path.
- Clutter and obstacles: Visitors may trip over loose merchandise in aisles, cords stretched across walkways, or other debris.
- Broken stairs or handrails: Damaged steps or missing railings make climbing or descending stairs harder.
- Icy surfaces: Visitors may slip when property owners fail to treat walkways or driveways during winter weather.

Who Is Liable for a Worcester Slip and Fall Accident?
Property owners and businesses in Massachusetts have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe for lawful visitors. Therefore, the owner or party in control of the premises must take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable harm from dangerous conditions. They must promptly fix problems they know about or warn visitors about them. In some cases, it also requires regularly inspecting the property for hazards.
When a property owner, manager, or business owner fails to meet this duty, they may be at fault for any slip and fall accident that occurs and be held liable for the resulting injuries and damages.
Slips and falls can happen in everyday places when property conditions are unsafe. These include stores, restaurants, apartment buildings, offices, parking lots, and sidewalks.
What Evidence Do You Need To Prove a Worcester Slip and Fall Case?
Your slip and fall lawsuit is only as strong as the evidence supporting it. When building your case, our team will investigate and gather a variety of evidence to prove liability and show how the owner’s negligence caused your injuries. Such sources of evidence may include:
- Accident reports: These reports document the incident soon after a slip and fall accident and create an official record of the fall.
- Surveillance footage: Security cameras may capture the hazardous condition or the accident itself.
- Witness testimony: Statements from people who saw the fall or the unsafe condition can support your version of events.
- Safety codes: Copies of building or safety codes can help us show that the property owner violated them.
- Maintenance and inspection records: These records may reveal whether the owner ignored known hazards or failed to perform routine maintenance.
- Medical records: Detailed treatment records can connect your injuries directly to the slip and fall.
- Accident scene photos: Photos of the hazard, the surrounding area, or your injuries can provide strong visual proof.
What Damages Can You Get Compensation for in a Slip and Fall Case?
Whether you suffered a traumatic brain injury or broken bones, a sudden fall can affect every aspect of your life. Our slip and fall accident lawyers in Worcester can help you seek compensation for a variety of economic and non-economic damages reflecting this impact, such as:
- Past and future medical expenses, including emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, doctor’s visits, and medications
- Lost wages for the income you missed while recovering
- Lost earning capacity for the income you’ll miss in the future due to the injury’s effects on your ability to work
- Pain and suffering for the physical pain and impacts, including disability and disfigurement
- Emotional distress for the mental and emotional trauma your injuries have caused
- Loss of enjoyment of life due to the ways your injuries prevent you from doing things you once enjoyed
You generally have three years from the slip and fall accident to file a personal injury claim in Massachusetts. Missing the deadline may prevent you from seeking compensation for your damages, so you’ll want to act quickly to protect your claim.
