Brockton Massachusetts Personal Injury Attorneys
New England is known for its winters and Nor’Easters that bring great amounts of snow leaving the roads and parking lots in dangerous and slippery conditions. Most businesses in Massachusetts know how to cope with the New England Winters. A lot of property owners and businesses go to great lengths to plow, salt and sand their parking lots and walk ways. However, some businesses and property owners are not that responsible when it comes to maintaining their property in a reasonably safe condition.
Up until 2010 it was very difficult to bring a lawsuit against a property owner if you slipped, fell and got injured on his or her property. Up until this point it was up to an injured party to show that they slipped and fell on an unnatural accumulation of snow. This meant that injured parties couldn’t bring a claim against a property owner if their slip and fall accident occurred on a natural accumulation of snow.
A new 2010 law effectively eliminated the natural vs. unnatural accumulation of snow distinction replacing it with a new standard of reasonableness. Now a claim for personal injuries can be brought against a property owner if they did not take reasonable measures to try and maintain the property in a safe condition. This new standard gave property owners a duty to take proactive measures to insure the property is safe for visitors and cleared of snow and ice to a reasonable extent.
