Failure to Monitor, Supervise or Warn

Caring Premises Liability Attorneys in Massachusetts

Schools, playgrounds, office buildings, public recreation areas and other public areas are expected to be safe for visitors, students and others. Unfortunately, inadequate funding often leads to a lack of supervision which can further lead to serious injuries or fatalities. At the Law Offices of Moir & Ross, in Westfield, Massachusetts, we believe that these government or public buildings should be held to the same standard as other commercial establishments - environments should be safe for visitors.

Lack of supervision, failure to monitor areas and failure to warn of dangers can result in serious injuries and accidents. Our injury and accident lawyers help our clients find answers, pursue accountability and recover full compensation in all types of premises accidents:

• Schools: Lack of supervision on the playground, gymnasium or other areas at school can result in children suffering injuries in accidents. We represent families in claims arising from playground accidents, assaults at school, unacceptable conduct by a teacher, and other related child injury accidents at school.
• Nursing home care facilities: Nursing home staff have a duty to residents. Patients (and their families) expect that staff will provide adequate supervision, care and support. Injuries resulting from unsupervised falls are unacceptable. Likewise, when a patient wanders away due to insufficient supervision at exits, the nursing home should be held liable.
• Public pools and recreation facilities: Public recreation areas, such as pools, beaches and other facilities should have adequate supervision during hours of operation. Lack of supervision can result in preventable drownings and other serious injuries.
• Hospitals: Our medical malpractice attorneys represent clients in claims arising from doctor negligence and hospital negligence. However, our firm also handles claims for injuries caused by abusive hospital staff, lack of security and other dangers. We help patients and visitors injured in slip and fall accidents in bathrooms as well as muggings, rapes, and assaults occurring in hospitals and hospital parking ramps.
• Federal and commercial buildings: Inadequate security in commercial parking lots or government buildings can result in assaults, rape, theft and other personal damage. We help injured clients hold the building owner responsible for injuries which resulted from their negligence.
