Navigating Massachusetts Slip & Fall Laws

Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule, allowing you to seek damages if you are less than 51% at fault in your slip and fall claim. Property owners—including landlords, business managers, and municipalities—have a legal responsibility to keep their spaces reasonably safe for guests or customers. The law requires a close look at how the hazard occurred, how long it remained, and the actions taken by the property owner to fix it. These specifics shape the legal strategies we recommend to our clients.

Courts in Massachusetts also consider your status on the property—whether you were a customer, guest, or there for another lawful reason matters. Seasonal weather like snow and ice adds another layer to liability for property owners, especially during the winter. These conditions change what owners must do to maintain safety and affect the facts we gather to move your claim forward. By understanding every local factor, we advise clients on how courts may interpret their slip and fall cases and how to set realistic goals.
