Fall accidents can occur anywhere, including your own home. However, if you slipped or tripped on someone else’s property because the property owner failed to do basic, routine repairs and maintenance, you could have a legal case against them. Our Cambridge slip and fall attorneys can help you do so.
A Cambridge personal injury lawyer could make it easier for you to recover compensation because we are familiar with how these cases work and what laws may apply. Call GED Lawyers today for a free consultation. If it is more convenient for you, we can schedule evening and weekend appointments.
Why Hire a Cambridge Slip and Fall Accident Attorney?
Insurance companies do not waste time after an accident. You might even receive a visit or requests from an adjuster while you are still in the hospital. Before you agree to anything they offer or ask for, remember that their main goal is to save themselves money, not to help you recover from your injuries.
Our Cambridge fall accident lawyers represent people like you so you can understand your rights after an accident, deal with insurance companies, and fight for the money you need to start rebuilding your life. We can:
- Provide a free case review over the phone, so it is easy and free to learn about your rights
- Assist you in the language of your choice, whether that is Spanish, Arabic, Creole, Portuguese, Greek, Turkish, or Russian
- Investigate how your accident happened and collect evidence that proves you are entitled to damages from the at-fault party
- Fight for damages in the way that is best suited to the specifics of your case, which may mean negotiating a settlement or taking your case to trial
- Take care of all day-to-day tasks associated with the case, including filing paperwork and staying in touch with other involved parties

When Should You Take Action After a Trip and Fall Accident?
Property owners, managers, and/or lessees must maintain all areas where visitors, employees, or tenants are allowed to go. Maintenance may include:
- Cleaning up spills promptly
- Keeping walkways clear
- Making sure there is adequate lighting and proper security
- Repairing equipment that might leak
- Repairing broken or cracked floors, stairs, or handrails
- Addressing trip hazards like loose wires
- Fencing in-ground swimming pools
- Trimming foliage that could conceal or pose a hazard
- Posting warning signs about hazards that cannot be fixed immediately
If factors like any of the above caused your injuries, you could sue if you are:
- The parent of an injured child. Small children have not yet developed the sense of balance and coordination they may have as adults.
- An older adult. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), adults over the age of 65 are especially susceptible to falls due to changes in health or medications they might be taking.
- Anyone who fell on someone else’s property. You do not have to belong to a vulnerable population to recover compensation. If someone else’s negligence caused you to slip or trip, our fall injury lawyers are here to help.
You should seek legal advice right after seeing a doctor. This gives our premises liability attorneys the maximum amount of time to build your case while working within the state’s statute of limitations: in most cases, you have three years to begin a personal injury lawsuit.

How Do You Prove Liability for a Slip and Fall Accident?
As with any negligence-based case, you need to prove the following elements before you can recover compensation for a premises liability accident:
- The at-fault party (in this case, whoever was responsible for the property) had a duty of care to protect others. This duty typically involves performing the types of maintenance listed above.
- The property owner or manager failed to maintain their property.
- The at-fault party’s failure to maintain their property was the direct cause of your accident.
- Your accident was the cause of all of your physical, emotional, and financial losses.
If you suspect negligence contributed to your accident, GED Lawyers wants to hear from you. Our fall accident attorneys can uncover evidence that proves the fall was not your fault and that your family is entitled to compensation.
