A: A Massachusetts attorney could advise best but your question remains open for two weeks. You raise a number of questions, and the best way to answer them could be to try to arrange a free initial consult with a MA attorney. As a general practice nationwide, injury firms that handle slip and fall cases usually work on a contingency basis. That's something to bring up with the firms you might reach out to, since you ask about attorney fees. Good luck
