Braintree, MA personal injury attorney Michael Conley discusses a difference in the standard of liability depending on where your injury occurred, for example, at someone’s house vs. at a store. He notes that there are two key considerations. First, the law recognizes that a homeowner’s duty to maintain safety is not as extensive as that of a restaurant, store, or other business, reflecting the standard of reasonable care in the circumstances. Second, the practical realities of pursuing a lawsuit and going to trial differ significantly. Suing a homeowner may present challenges because jurors can often relate to the homeowner, whereas a business carries a clear legal obligation to ensure the safety of its customers.
