Why Choose Attorney Daniel A. Pava?
We've represented injured residents across Hampden County since 1984. Here's what sets us apart in premises liability cases.
We Investigate Fast
Premises evidence disappears quickly. We document the scene, secure surveillance footage, identify witnesses, and preserve the conditions before they're cleaned up or repaired.
No Fee Unless We Win
You pay nothing upfront. We only collect when we recover money for you. If we don't win your case, you owe us nothing — not a dollar.
Property Owner Liability
Massachusetts has specific laws about a property owner's duty of care. Daniel knows what to prove — notice, negligence, and the conditions that caused your injury.
Premises Liability Cases We Handle
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail, victims have rights.
Slip & Fall Accidents
Wet floors, loose carpets, uneven steps, broken handrails, poor lighting, and dangerous walking surfaces.
Snow & Ice Injuries
Untreated walkways, parking lots, sidewalks. Massachusetts law requires property owners to address snow and ice hazards.
Dog Bite Injuries
Massachusetts is a strict liability state for dog bites. The owner is responsible regardless of the dog's prior history.
Supermarket & Retail Falls
Spilled products, cluttered aisles, falling merchandise, and poorly maintained store conditions.
Apartment Complex Injuries
Broken stairs, faulty railings, inadequate lighting, and unmaintained common areas in rental properties.
Negligent Security
Assaults and crimes that occurred because a property owner failed to provide reasonable security measures.
