What is the Statute of Limitations for Massachusetts Slip and Fall Accidents?

Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to bring a lawsuit in Massachusetts for injuries sustained in a slip and fall, or trip and fall accident. There are exceptions however, such as a two year statute of limitations for claims stemming from injuries on MBTA property.

Also, if you live in Massachusetts and your slip and fall accident was in a different state, then that state’s laws apply. Not all states have a three year statute of limitations like Massachusetts does.

Nearly twenty years ago when I opened my practice I decided to dedicate my career to advancing the rights of injury victims against powerful insurance companies. Personally, I find great satisfaction in helping good and honest people who have been wronged due to no fault of their own. I am really proud to have earned our clients’ hard-earned trust by running a law firm our clients can always count on to do the right thing.
