When Should You Contact a Quincy Premises Liability Lawyer?

If you get hurt on someone else’s property, your first priority needs to be your health. Once you’re on the road to a physical recovery, you can contact a Quincy premises liability attorney and discuss what steps you can take to hold the right parties financially responsible for your losses.

Fortunately, a case consultation with the GED Lawyers team comes free of charge. You can discuss what negligence led to your accident during that case consultation, after which our team can outline how we can use our understanding of the law to argue for your right to a reasonable accident settlement.

However, we do encourage you to reach out to our team sooner rather than later. Insurers like to move quickly after premises liability accidents, and their involvement in your recovery may minimize the damages you walk away with after filing a claim.

You’re also up against Massachusetts’ statute of limitations, which only gives you three years to file a lawsuit.

What Is a Premises Liability Case?

What accidents allow you to explore your right to premises liability damages? Any accident that takes place on someone else’s property that could have been avoided with greater attention may allow you to file either an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit.

Some of the most common accidents that entitle accident victims to claims include:

• Trampoline accidents
• Stair accidents
• Ladder accidents
• Slips and falls
• Swimming pool accidents
• Dog bites or animal attacks
• Construction site accidents

Notably, only certain parties have the right to hold a landowner or affiliated party accountable for losses sustained on their property. Invitees and licensees benefit from a landowner’s duty of care, while trespassers do not.

Massachusetts’s attractive nuisance doctrine does lend some nuance to that interpretation, however. Children drawn to someone’s property by an interesting feature, like a pool or abandoned playset, do benefit from the landowner’s duty of care.

Their representatives may file a claim against a landowner if they’re injured due to the owner’s avoidable negligence.

What Compensation Can You Recover After a Premises Liability Accident?

When filing an insurance claim or pursuing a premises liability lawsuit, you have the right to establish the value of the economic and non-economic losses you incurred as a result of someone else’s negligence. The sum of those losses can make up your desired settlement.

Our team can calculate the value of your preferred settlement by accounting for any bills, invoices, and other expenses tied to your recovery.

Our experience makes it easier for us to assign dollar values to losses that don’t generate these types of paper trails, including your emotional distress, pain and suffering, and reduced quality of life.

The other losses we may have the right to include in your request for premises liability support may include:

• Emergency medical care
• Surgeries
• Pain management and physical therapy
• Lost wages
• Lost benefits
• Property damage, as applicable

Do You Have to Go to Trial to Secure Premises Liability Damages?

Even if you file a personal injury claim against a landowner or affiliated party, you’re not obligated to present a case for compensation to a civil judge in a trial. Most personal injury cases allow you to recover accident damages during settlement negotiations with a liable party.

However, filing a personal injury lawsuit allows you to take your case to trial if a landowner or affiliated party refuses to acknowledge your right to comprehensive compensation following an avoidable accident.

Our Quincy, MA, premises liability lawyers aren’t afraid to litigate and can prepare you for the trial process if the need to go to court arises.

At the same time, we can keep the door open for resumed settlement negotiations if a liable party decides to acknowledge your right to a reasonable settlement.

When Do You Need to File a Premises Liability Claim in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts’ personal injury statute of limitations, Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 260 § 2A, allows you to take up to three years to build a claim against the party liable for your injuries.

You must file your claim within that timeframe, or else Massachusetts civil courts may bar you from legal action against a liable party.
