The most recent data from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Injury Surveillance Program reveals that in a one-year period, more than 185,000, approximately 30% of emergency room visits across the state resulted from unintentional falls, with a little more than 33,000 requiring hospital stays. Slip and falls can happen while you are walking to or from Endicott Station for your daily commute, while roaming the historic districts in Dedham, shopping at one of your favorite big-box retailers in the area, at home, and at work. Slips and falls can also happen to anyone, but as you age, the risk becomes greater. Throughout the U.S., as well as the Boston area, slip and fall injuries occur overwhelmingly to those over the age of 65, and they can also be fatal.
At Michael Kelly, we understand the struggle of dealing with a slip and fall injury. In addition to the physical limitations that you have while you heal, it’s likely that you are amassing medical bills and have missed work if you are still of working age. We can help alleviate your stress by advocating for you if your slip and fall injury was sustained because of another party’s negligence.
If you, your child, or an elderly family member has suffered injuries from a slip and fall accident, you or your family member might be able to receive compensation for your losses.

Slip and falls might occur at home, but they might also happen while roaming around the Dedham Village Historic District or while engaging in Boston’s hustle and bustle.
