Slip accidents, trip accidents, and fall accidents can result in painful and debilitating injuries for the victims, who may end up with serious sprains, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, head injuries, bruises and bumps, or other painful injuries. These injuries can result in financial turmoil for the victims, and may necessitate legal action to remedy. In such cases, the experienced personal injury attorneys at the Greater Boston Area firm of Altman & Altman LLP are here to help.
Our Massachusetts slip and fall attorneys have over 50 years of experience helping slip and fall injury victims from Boston and its surrounding neighborhoods obtain financial compensation from negligent parties. We know the most important step in securing compensation for our clients is to assess those at fault for the incident – either through negligent carelessness or more troubling incidents of gross negligence.
Slip and Fall Accidents can Happen Anywhere, at any Time Such as:- In a supermarket, shopping mall or hotel
- In an office building, office park, lobby or building's common area
- On any surface due to unnatural ice buildup

- Slip and fall accidents have different causes:

In certain cases, slip and fall cases fall under the area of premises liability law, which holds a premise owner or property manager responsible for making sure that there are no unsafe conditions on a property that could cause injury or death to a resident, visitor, worker, or patron. Our lawyers work with accident reconstruction experts who can prove that your injuries were caused by the inadequate conditions on another party’s premise. Visit our premises liability page for more information.
It is important that you contact our office soon after a slip and fall injury so that we can examine the accident site and identify any key evidence to begin establishing negligence.

- Current and future medical costs
