The success of slip and fall cases in Massachusetts hinge on the element of "notice." Property owners in Massachusetts are required to keep their property in a reasonably safe condition free from defects. These owners must take reasonable measures to insure their property is safe for those lawfully on the property. In order to establish negligence on the part of a property owner, you need to show the owner had notice of the dangerous defect that caused your slip and fall injuries.
