A property owner has a duty to keep their property safe for others. Part of that duty is maintaining a safe walking space, even if the property is an open space outdoors. Slip, trip and fall claims include such incidents of all types, including: slips on food and foreign substances in restaurants and supermarkets; trips over badly aligned sidewalk edges and other dangerous surfaces; and falls down stairs that are in poor condition, inadequately lighted or not built up to code. Each such Massachusetts scenario usually involves unique aspects that must be adequately proven in order to favorably resolve your case. While tripping may not always be harmful, it can lead to serious injuries and medical and other expenses, which an individual may have to live with and pay for themselves if they cannot properly recover their damages from a liable party.
Take, for example, eighty-two-year old Billie Thomas who was visiting his wife’s grave at the Rolling Hills Memorial Park when he was injured. Thomas was leaving when he tripped on a sprinkler head, severely injuring his knee. Thomas had to undergo a total knee replacement, which in turn lead to post-surgery complications and mobility problems he suffers from to this day. He filed a personal injury lawsuit against the Rolling Hills Memorial Park, claiming that the sprinkler head was hidden from view and created a dangerous condition. The defendant has agreed to pay Thomas a $480,000 settlement for medical costs, pain and suffering, and legal fees in exchange for him dropping his lawsuit.
