Know Your Rights After a Winter Fall in Woburn
Massachusetts law requires property owners to remove snow and ice within a reasonable timeframe after a storm. When they fail to do so, resulting in hazardous conditions, they may be held legally responsible for any injuries caused.
You may be entitled to compensation if:
- The property owner neglected their snow/ice removal duties
- You slipped on untreated walkways, stairs, or parking areas
- Your injury resulted in medical expenses or lost income
Where These Injuries Happen Most Often:
Apartment complexes and rental properties
Grocery store parking lots and sidewalks
Office buildings and public areas
Residential driveways and porches
Woburn winters are tough, and property owners must take proper precautions. If they don’t, we hold them accountable.
Injuries from Ice & Snow Can Be Serious
Injuries we commonly see in these cases include:
Broken bones (hips, wrists, ankles)
Back injuries and spinal damage
Head injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
Torn ligaments and soft tissue damage
Many victims require surgery, rehabilitation, or permanent mobility assistance after these falls.
