Northampton Massachusetts is the rare combination of ideal small city, local farms, farmer’s markets such as near Thorne’s Marketplace, and a multitude of recreational activities. Attorney Shute is grateful for the many local Pioneer Valley clients who have trusted his experience for over 25 years. If you feel that you should be compensated for injuries from a fall, put Atty. Shute’s experience to work for you too.

Slip and fall injuries can be debilitating and when they are the result of someone else’s negligence action needs to be taken. You are left dealing with lost time from work, doctor’s visits, bills and perhaps a lengthy recuperation or permanent disability. These cases are called “premises liability” cases because they involve a hazardous or dangerous environment that an owner of a property negligently failed to prevent or timely correct. Slip and Fall or Trip and Fall cases are complex with their own unique sets of facts. For a case to be viable the property owner must be proven negligent. Attorney Shute will work diligently and relentlessly to settle your claim for pain and suffering and medical bills and to prove your injury was the result of a property owners’ negligence.

There are numerous examples of conditions that can lead to a person slipping and falling or tripping and falling. Examples include defective or uneven step risers, malfunctioning equipment that leaves a walk area slick, wet walking surfaces without warning signs, damaged or frayed carpet or loose or broken handrails. There are many facets to proving negligence in any premises liability case and having a lawyer with years of experience in developing evidence matters.

The insurance companies for property owners will try every trick in the book to defend their clients. Therefore, it is important to call Attorney Shute to discuss the details of your fall and your injuries. There is no shame in falling and when someone else’s negligence caused your fall you deserve to be compensated for payment of your medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering.

Attorney Shute offers a free consultation where you can discuss your injury with him and have your slip and fall questions answered and concerns addressed. Call 413-592-0999 or 413- 437-7788 days, evenings and weekends.

I was hit by a hit and run vehicle as pedestrian. I went through the motions as instructed by the proper people. Hiring an attorney was not something I had realized I needed to do. After being in the Dr's office overwhelmed by the paperwork and pain someone said, your Attorney will do that for you. So I went on a hunt. If you are looking for an Attorney who you can actually talk to on the phone, Attorney Shute is your guy. He was always very professional and he explained everything in a way I always understood. He is patient, a good listener and aware of my injuries making me comfortable. I don't hesitate to tell people he's a great choice. And oh yes, we won my case.

Attorney Shute helped me through a difficult legal process after I was injured in an auto accident. Although the case was complex, he carefully, methodically and patiently advised me over all the hurdles that were placed in our path. Even the smallest accidents can be traumatic and legal nightmares. Attorney Shute traveled to my home to meet with me while I was injured and so traumatized I was unable to drive. He is smart, capable, and accessible. I recommend him very highly to anyone in need of expert personal injury advice.
