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 explains that there are two aspects to consider. First, the law recognizes that a homeowner’s obligation to ensure safety is not as high as that of a restaurant, store, or other businesses. This distinction is based on the concept of reasonable care in the given circumstances. However, the practicality of pursuing a lawsuit and going to trial also plays a significant role. It can be quite different when suing a homeowner, where members of the jury might relate to the homeowner, compared to a business that has a clear obligation to prioritize customer safety.
