I would be happy to talk to you. If I take the case, it would be on contingency, meaning I only get paid if the case settles

Your search will probably continue for a while since Chapter 81 and Chapter 84 of the Mass. General Laws provide a maximum recovery of $5,000 for sidewalk defects. If you can find an attorney to take this on contingency you should hire him right away!! If you fell on private property, not a city sidewalk, you may have a better shot at finding a lawyer.

You should also know there are strict notice provisions which may be applicable and you must give notice in a way that complies with the statute within a very short period or you will be barred from making a claim. Best luck. Regards, JBS
