Slip and Fall Accident Lawyers Serving Massachusetts and Connecticut
When Negligence Trips You Up, Raipher Fights For The Win
A simple slip and fall can cause devastating injuries, from broken bones to Traumatic Brain Injuries. Across Massachusetts and Connecticut, these incidents happen in stores, parking lots, apartment complexes, construction sites, and public sidewalks, places where property owners have a legal duty to keep visitors safe. When they fail to do so, victims have the right to pursue compensation for their injuries, medical bills, and lasting pain.
Slip and fall cases can be complex because not every fall is a personal injury case. The key question is whether someone’s negligence caused the danger. That’s where Raipher, P.C. makes the difference. With more than $100 million recovered for injured clients, our personal injury lawyers know how to prove liability and force insurers to pay what justice demands.

Common causes and factors in slip and fall accidents
Slip and fall accidents usually stem from hazards that could have been fixed, or at least warned about. The most frequent causes include:
- Wet Or Slippery Surfaces: Spills, mopped floors, or melted snow without proper signage.
- Uneven Flooring Or Pavement: Cracked sidewalks, loose tiles, or potholes in parking lots.
- Poor Lighting: Making hazards hard to see in stairwells, garages, or walkways.
- Obstructed Walkways: Boxes, cables, or clutter left in common paths.
- Neglected Maintenance: Broken handrails, missing steps, or unsecured rugs.
Each of these situations is preventable when property owners follow safety standards. When they don’t, injuries occur and liability follows. An experienced lawyer ensures every detail is documented and that negligence is clearly proven.
Liability in Massachusetts and Connecticut slip and fall cases
Slip and fall liability depends on the relationship between the injured person and the property owner, as well as whether the hazard was known, or should have been known. Under Massachusetts and Connecticut law, property owners must take reasonable steps to prevent foreseeable harm. This means they can be liable if they created the danger, ignored it, or failed to warn visitors about it.
Evidence such as surveillance footage, maintenance logs, and witness statements can establish negligence. Raipher’s attorneys act fast to secure that evidence before it disappears. Our firm’s experience across both states ensures every angle of liability is explored, including claims against landlords, cleaning companies, and maintenance contractors.
Injuries and compensation in slip and fall cases
Slip and fall injuries are often underestimated, but the damage can be life-changing. Victims, especially older adults or those with pre-existing conditions, are at higher risk for serious trauma that can affect their ability to work, move, or live independently.
Common injuries in slip and fall accidents include:
- Fractures and Broken Bones: Often to the wrists, hips, or ankles, requiring surgery and extended recovery.
- Head and Brain Injuries: Concussions and traumatic brain injuries that can impair memory, balance, and mood.
- Spinal Cord And Back Injuries: Herniated discs or nerve damage that cause chronic pain or limited mobility.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Torn ligaments, muscle strains, and severe bruising that affect daily function.
- Internal Injuries: Hidden organ damage or internal bleeding that may not appear immediately.
Slip and fall injuries can bring long-term consequences, from ongoing medical care to permanent disability. That’s why compensation must reflect the full picture, not just the first hospital bill.
Recoverable damages often include medical expenses, lost income, future care needs, rehabilitation costs, pain and suffering, and reduced quality of life. Raipher’s personal injury lawyers build cases with expert medical testimony and financial documentation to demand every dollar owed.
