Slip and fall accidents are among the most common personal injury cases in Boston. Icy, uncleared sidewalks during Massachusetts winters, poorly maintained stairwells and common areas in Roxbury and Dorchester apartment buildings, wet floors in commercial properties across the metro, and hazardous conditions on MBTA platforms and stations injure Boston residents every year. Property owners and landlords have a legal duty to maintain reasonably safe premises. When they fail, people get hurt. Insurance companies often use delay and denial tactics and attempt to argue that dangerous conditions were open and obvious. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
From icy stoops on Blue Hill Avenue to broken pavement on Washington Street in Roxbury to hazardous conditions in triple-decker stairwells throughout Dorchester and Mattapan — we know where dangerous conditions accumulate in Boston and who is responsible for them. Boston Medical Center treats serious fall injuries from these neighborhoods regularly. Those accidents cause real damage to Boston families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Property owners and their insurers across Suffolk County often use delay, deny, and lowball tactics — and try to shift blame onto injured people or argue conditions were obvious. We know how to leverage the justice system in Suffolk County Superior Court to fight back and prove otherwise.
IMPORTANT MASSACHUSETTS LEGAL INFORMATION — SLIP AND FALL
Statute of Limitations: 3 years from the date of injury (MGL c. 260 § 2A).
Government Property: Falls on City of Boston property, MBTA stations, or Commonwealth property are governed by MGL c. 258. A presentment letter must be filed within 2 years — act promptly.
Premises Liability Standard: Massachusetts requires proving the property owner knew or reasonably should have known of the dangerous condition and failed to remedy it or warn you.
Comparative Negligence: Modified comparative negligence. Recover if 50% or less at fault.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.

Insurance companies may make early low offers because they count on most people not knowing what their case is actually worth. They may delay, deny, and lowball — and may argue that dangerous conditions were open and obvious or that snow and ice relieved liability. TopDog Law and its co-counsel fight for the full recovery your injuries warrant.
