Put An Experienced Personal Injury Attorney On Your Side Today
After a personal injury, it is not unusual for people to seek legal counsel after trying to get compensation from the insurance company. In the majority of cases, the insurance company and its many lawyers will work hard to deny, delay or undervalue a claim.

Determining Liability
We are personal injury lawyers who are prepared to thoroughly investigate your accident claim to determine who is liable for your injuries. Under Massachusetts law, liability is determined by comparative negligence. Under this law, you can recover damages from the negligent party if you are less than 51% at fault for the accident. We can explain how this will apply in your case.
What Are Common Personal Injury Cases In Massachusetts?
Among the most common personal injury cases we see are vehicle accidents and falls. Vehicle accidents cover cars, trucks, bikes, motorcycles and pedestrians. These are extremely common, but that does not mean that they are simple cases. Each one is unique and requires an experienced lawyer’s guidance to resolve them successfully.
Falls, including slip-and-falls, trip-and-falls, falls from elevated heights, falls down dangerous stairs, and falls on snow or ice, can cause serious or fatal injuries. Spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries are frequent in fall accidents. People also may suffer broken bones or injured joints.
