Boston Work Injury Lawyer

By Christopher Earley

Boston Work Injury Lawyer

As a Boston work injury lawyer, I get asked this question very often. The answer is, it depends. If you fell at work in Massachusetts, you cannot sue your employer. But, you can make a claim for Massachusetts workers compensation benefits with your employer’s insurance company. A claim is not of course the same thing as a lawsuit.

However, if your slip and fall accident was caused by the negligence of someone other than your employer, than you may be able to sue that third-party for your injuries. In example would be a delivery driver injured on the steps of a home he is delivering a product to, or a cook who slips and falls on a wet and slippery floor that was caused by an outside cleaning company.

“I Was Injured in a Slip and Fall Accident at a Store? Do I Have a Case?”

By Christopher Earley

That generally depends on one thing: Notice. If it can be shown that the store had notice of the substance you fell on, then you may have a claim. Notice can be established in one of three ways. One, that the store created the substance you fell on, and failed to correct it in a timely manner. Two, that the store knew about the substance, and failed to correct it in a timely manner. Third, that the store should have known about the substance through reasonable inspection and maintenance, but failed to do that.

Therefore, the success of your slip and fall case against a Massachusetts supermarket will depend largely on the element of notice, and whether, and how strong, that element can be established.

If you were injured in a slip and fall accident at a supermarket or store outside of Massachusetts, the element of notice will largely control the outcome of the case.

“Why Is My Personal Injury Case Taking So Long to Settle?”

By Christopher Earley

When you have been involved in a Massachusetts accident, and you hire an attorney, it can take months, or even years, for the case to come to a conclusion.

First, your case cannot even be attempted to be resolved until you have completed your medical treatment. Once you do reach a medical end result with your treatment, your attorney can fully appreciate the extent of your injuries, and your medical bills. At that point in time, your attorney can then effectively try to persuade the insurance company to pay you a fair and reasonable sum for your losses from the accident.

Second, at times, and before litigation, it can take months, even after you concluded your treatment, for the negotiation process to finally come to an end.
