A family member fell at another family member's house. (Massachusetts). They missed the last step going down the stairs, fell, and broke their hip. There are handrails, steps are intact and in good working order. No water on the stairs or any other indication to suggest the homeowner was neglectful in maintaining their property. The injured refused to use the stair lift that's installed.
The relative's son wants to go after the homeowner's insurance company. The injured relative does not want to, but the son is insistent and his motives to do so are questionable.
I don't think there is a case here, or is there?
The son was told by an attorney that his parent could get money from the insurance company and the homeowner's policy wouldn't increase. I question this as I cannot believe that the insurance policy would not increase.
Any insight would be appreciated.
