Cape Cod Slip & Fall Lawyers
Injured in a Fall on Cape Cod? Our Slip and Fall Lawyers Hold Negligent Property Owners Accountable.
A sudden slip and fall can happen in a moment, but the consequences—serious injuries, medical bills, and lost income—can last for months or even years. When your fall was caused by a property owner’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to bear that burden alone. At Snow Law Firm, we understand the pain and frustration you’re feeling. We are a local firm dedicated to helping our neighbors on Cape Cod, the South Shore, and South Coast MA get the justice and compensation they deserve after a preventable fall.
How Snow Law Firm Can Help
Proving that a property owner was negligent is the key to a successful slip and fall claim. This requires a prompt and thorough investigation, something that is difficult to do while you are recovering from an injury. The owner’s insurance company will often try to argue the hazard was “open and obvious” or that you were not paying attention. We know how to fight back against these tactics.
The team at Snow Law Firm will handle every aspect of your case. We work quickly to preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and build a strong claim that establishes the owner’s liability. We are committed to securing full compensation for your damages, including:
All medical bills, including surgery and physical therapy
Lost wages and loss of future earning ability
Pain and suffering
Permanent injury or scarring
We take on the legal fight so you can focus on what matters most: your recovery.

Common Causes of Slip and Fall Accidents
Many falls are preventable and occur because a property owner failed in their duty of care. Common causes include:
Wet or slippery floors without warning signs
Icy or snowy sidewalks that have not been shoveled or treated
Poorly lit stairwells, hallways, or parking lots
Broken or uneven pavement, flooring, or steps
Cluttered aisles or walkways in stores
Torn carpeting or loose floorboards
Understanding Premises Liability
In Massachusetts, property owners have a legal duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition for visitors. This is known as “premises liability.” To win a slip and fall case, we must prove that the property owner:
Created the dangerous condition that caused your fall.
Knew or should have reasonably known about the dangerous condition.
Failed to take reasonable steps to repair the condition, block it off, or warn visitors about it.
Our firm has extensive experience investigating these cases and gathering the necessary evidence to prove negligence and hold property owners accountable.
-
If you are injured, seek medical attention right away. If possible, report the incident to the property owner or manager and document the dangerous condition by taking pictures with your phone. Try to get the names and contact information of any witnesses. Finally, contact an lawyer before speaking with any insurance representatives.
-
Yes. Blaming the victim is a common tactic used to avoid responsibility. In Massachusetts, you can still recover damages even if you are found to be partially at fault, as long as your percentage of fault is 50% or less. We are skilled at refuting these unfair arguments.
-
Compensation is typically paid from the property owner's liability insurance, such as a homeowners insurance policy or a commercial general liability policy. You are making a claim against an insurance company, not the individual property owner's personal finances.
-
The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in Massachusetts is three years from the date of the accident. It is crucial to act quickly to preserve evidence and protect your legal rights.
