Causes of Lowell, Tewksbury and Andover Slip and Fall Accidents

A slip, trip and fall accident may occur for a number of reasons, and all can leave a person facing serious injuries. Some common causes for Tewksbury slip and fall accidents include the following:

• Defective construction
• Ice or standing water

Massachusetts slip and fall cases can be difficult to win. It is imperative that the scene of the accident be photographed as soon as possible, before the property owner has a chance to clean it up or repair the situation that caused the accident to occur. It is also very important that any witnesses be located and interviewed immediately so their memories are clear and detailed. In Massachusetts, property owners are generally not responsible for slip and fall accidents that are caused by snow and ice in their natural conditions. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. In some cases you must give notice to the landowner within 10 days of your accident. If you fail to do this, you may lose your right to seek compensation.
