Premises Liability
Legal responsibility for incidents that happen on someone else’s property because of unsafe conditions is known as premises liability. If you have been hurt while on someone else’s property, you are encouraged to speak with a lawyer who can help you understand and preserve your legal rights. Premises liability rules are complicated.
Common Injuries
La responsabilidad legal por incidentes que ocurren en la propiedad de otra persona debido a condiciones inseguras se conoce como responsabilidad de las instalaciones. Si usted se ha lesionado mientras estaba en la propiedad de otra persona, se le anima a hablar con un abogado que pueda ayudarle a entender y preservar sus derechos legales. Las normas de responsabilidad de las instalaciones son complicadas.
ENFERMEDADES COMUNES
La gravedad de las lesiones puede variar de modesta a grave en las demandas por responsabilidad de los locales. Las lesiones en la cabeza, las lesiones en la columna vertebral, los huesos destrozados y las quemaduras son algunas de las lesiones más frecuentes en los accidentes de responsabilidad de locales.

You may submit a claim if you think that DCR may be responsible for your personal injury or property damage. Depending on the nature of the claim, one of two distinct state statutory claim procedures may apply to it. Your claim would only be subject to one of the state claim procedures, not both, and there are various claim filing criteria for each procedure (including differing state agency offices at which the claim must be filed). It is vital to know which state law your claim may be subject to since a claim that is submitted under the incorrect statute and is thus filed in the incorrect state office may be denied on that basis. If you want to safeguard your rights and need help making a claim, you might want to think about speaking with an attorney. Sections 36 of Chapter 92 (within the Urban Parks District*) or section 18 of Chapter 81 (outside the Urban Parks District) and, in all cases, sections 15, 18 and 19 of Chapter 84 of the General Laws govern claims for injuries resulting from an injury sustained while traveling on a DCR parkway or boulevard, or so-called “Roadway Defect Claims.” Chapter 258 of the General Laws, sometimes known as the state Tort Claims Act, sets down the conditions and restrictions that apply to all other claims for bodily harm or property damage.
You can make a claim directly with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) if you feel that a flaw in a parkway, boulevard, or roadway that is under the care, control, or maintenance of DCR is solely to blame for your bodily injury while you were driving on it. Please take note that the exclusive and exclusive remedy for allegations of roadway defects is provided under the statutes listed below. The term “parkway” is used generically to refer to any area that is suitably adapted for pedestrian use inside the boundaries of a trafficked part of a boulevard, even if that area does not include a roadway, sidewalk, islands, or strips of land.
Similar to how a flaw is defined generically, a defect is any actual or hypothetical flaw or condition (visible or concealed) in the road or sidewalk that, in general, could make the region uncomfortable or unsafe for regular passage, whether by foot or car. Potholes or damaged pavement, broken or non-functioning street lights or traffic signals, elevated or lowered manhole covers, broken or missing signs, protruding sign posts, or overhanging tree limbs are common examples of claims that are covered by this procedure.
It is astonishing that roughly three million people are injured at work each year. It is important for these unlucky injury victims to take appropriate steps following their accident. Failure to do so can result in making an already tough situation even worse. Here are some things all people injured on-the-job should avoid:
Failing To Report The Accident
It is critical that the accident be reported as soon as possible. Reporting the accident and your injuries to your boss is crucial. Failure to do so will only weaken your claim as the insurance company down the road will try to diminish an otherwise valid claim for failure to report the accident.
Es sorprendente que aproximadamente tres millones de personas se lesionen en el trabajo cada año. Es importante que estas desafortunadas víctimas de lesiones tomen las medidas adecuadas tras su accidente. Si no lo hacen
no hacerlo puede hacer que una situación ya difícil sea aún peor. Estas son algunas de las cosas que todas las personas lesionadas en el trabajo deben evitar:
No informar del accidente
If you are hurt in a car accident, PIP will cover your medical expenses up to $8,000 after deducting your deductible. For instance, if you choose a $1,000 deductible, you would be responsible for the first $1,000 of expenses and would only be reimbursed for the remaining $7,000 of expenses. Your monthly premium will be reduced as a result of the deductible; we go into more detail about this benefit below. Each member of your household is entitled to $8,000 worth of coverage under the policy.
However, your auto insurance provider is not required to give you the $8,000 if you have a private, non-ERISA health plan. In Massachusetts, you have the right to at least $2,000 in coverage, although typically, the remaining $6,000 can only be used for medical expenses if:
