Slip and Fall Injuries on Snow and Ice in Massachusetts: How Attorneys Can Help

The Law Offices of Morton J. Shuman, P.C. • April 5, 2023

Winter in Massachusetts can be beautiful, but with the beauty comes the potential for danger. Snow and ice create hazardous conditions, increasing the risk of slip-and-fall accidents. At The Law Offices of Morton J. Shuman, P.C., we understand the physical, emotional, and financial toll these injuries can take on you and your family. Our experienced attorneys, serving the Metrowest, Worcester and Boston areas, are dedicated to helping victims secure the compensation they deserve.


First and foremost, if you’ve experienced a slip and fall injury, seek medical attention immediately. A thorough documentation of your injuries and their connection to the accident is essential for a successful personal injury claim. Then, once your health is stable, it’s time to seek legal representation.


As a former insurance claims manager, Attorney Morton J. Shuman knows the ins and outs of insurance companies. With his vast knowledge and experience, he’ll ensure that you receive the most favorable outcome for your claim. Unfortunately, insurance companies often look out for their own interests, which may not align with yours. That’s why securing legal representation before filing a claim is crucial.


Slip and fall accidents can occur on both private and public properties, and each comes with its own set of legal challenges. Commercial establishments are required to maintain a safe environment for customers and visitors, which includes snow and ice removal. If a property owner fails to take necessary precautions, they may be held liable for any injuries resulting from a slip and fall accident.


However, public property slip and fall cases often involve strict filing deadlines and procedural requirements. It’s essential to consult with an experienced attorney to navigate the complexities of these cases and ensure that your rights are protected.


At The Law Offices of Morton J. Shuman, P.C., we are proud to offer a diverse range of services to our clients. Our associates that speak Spanish and Portuguese are committed to providing quality legal representation to all members of our community.
