Plymouth Slip & Fall Accident Attorney
Hurt on Another’s Property? Let Morgan & Murphy Fight for You! Call (508) 966-7254
If you or someone you love has suffered preventable injuries as a result of a slip and fall accident, you may have the right to seek justice and compensation for your losses by pursuing a personal injury claim against the property owner. Under premises liability laws, property owners have legal obligations to ensure the safety of visitors and guests, take reasonable measures in fixing potential hazards, and provide warnings when conditions on their property pose risks of slips, trips, and falls. When their negligence or failures to uphold legal obligations results in preventable injuries, victims have grounds to hold them accountable.
For more than 35 years, our legal team at Morgan & Murphy, LLP has been fighting for injured victims across Massachusetts, including victims who suffered harm while on the property of another individual or commercial business. We know the elements required to prove fault and liability in slip and fall accident cases, as well as the importance of securing full and fair compensation for victims. No matter the challenges you face, our team is here to help you through these difficult times.

Your Rights After a Slip and Fall Accident
By law, property owners must take reasonable measures to ensure any potential safety issues are addressed and remedied. When they fail to do so, they put others at risk of suffering preventable harm.
This includes injuries caused by:
- Wet or slippery surfaces
- Uneven floors
- Exposed cords, debris, and tripping hazards
- Insufficient lighting
- Open holes
- Failures to warn about potential dangers
- Failures to block or barricade slip, trip, or fall hazards
As victims of negligence, those harmed in slip and fall accidents may have the right to seek compensation from property owners if:
- They were lawfully on the property of another (i.e. a visitor, guest, or invited worker)
- Victims not trespassing (exceptions may apply in some cases, such as those involving children)
- A property owner caused the dangerous condition, but did nothing to fix or address it
- A property owner knew or should have known about a dangerous hazard, but did not fix it
- Victims suffered injuries and actual damages as a result of the preventable hazard
