Salem, MA Premises Liability Lawyer

Businesses have procedures in place to warn people of hazardous areas, but not every owner follows them as they should. For example, if a grocery store is mopping their floors, they must put up signs. If an apartment owner has construction going on, they need to put up signs to let people know and keep the area contained to avoid injuries. When a company neglectfully handles situations like this, a Salem, MA personal injury lawyer can help you figure out how to put a case together to fight for potential compensation.

What is Premises Liability?

A premise liability accident can happen anywhere. The injuries that occur can have life-altering repercussions. Property owners are required by law to make sure their property inside and outside is safe. Courts can hold them liable for negligence if they fail to meet this requirement. Some common types of premises liability situations include:

• Not providing enough lighting, security measures, or locks on apartment or hotel buildings, can result in assaults and other criminal acts on the property.
• Unsafe walkways that the owner has no intention of fixing, could happen at an apartment, library, store, or other place where the owner holds accountability.
• Hazards in a parking lot could lead to injuries like snow, icy conditions, poor lighting, potholes, debris, and other dangerous situations.

How Long Do I Have to File a Premises Liability Claim in Massachusetts?

You only have a certain amount of time to take action against a property owner after getting hurt. Massachusetts only allows three years from the date you got hurt to file a claim. You could jeopardize your ability to get any compensation if you wait too long. It takes time to build a strong case. If you wait too long, you could miss out on crucial evidence that may be too late if you wait. For example, if you had witnesses around but you waited a couple of years, their memory could be off by the time you ask for a statement.
