Why Do You Need a Slip and Fall Attorney in Maine?
Maine applies modified comparative fault — but Maine’s rule is unusual: damages are reduced "to the extent the [factfinder] thinks just and equitable," and recovery is barred when the plaintiff’s fault is equal to or greater than the defendant’s (14 M.R.S. § 156). Maine follows traditional invitee/licensee/trespasser classifications. Winter premises cases dominate Maine’s slip and fall docket, with courts applying a reasonableness analysis to ice and snow.
