Seeking Financial Compensation for Your Injury in Boston

If you’ve suffered injuries in an accident, you may be entitled to file a lawsuit to seek relief. Often, the financial impact of medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering can be overwhelming. If another party is responsible for your injuries, you shouldn’t bear the financial burden alone.

Insurance companies may offer settlements, but these often fall short of covering all damages, including non-economic losses like pain and suffering. Our experienced attorneys can help you navigate these complexities and determine the full extent of your damages eligible for compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.

  • Car Accidents: From highways to parking lots, we represent drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and others injured in collisions.

  • Slip and Fall Injuries: Whether on icy sidewalks or in stores, we assist in holding property owners accountable for unsafe conditions.
  • Workplace Injuries: We navigate Massachusetts workers’ compensation laws to secure fair compensation for workplace accidents.
  • Catastrophic Injuries: Such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, or severe fractures, which often require long-term care.

Personal Injury Cases in Boston

Determining Compensation for Your Injury in Boston

Compensation in personal injury cases varies based on factors such as the severity of the injury, medical expenses, lost wages, and potential future earnings. Massachusetts law imposes caps on certain damages, but exceptions exist for cases involving extensive or permanent bodily harm, disfigurement, or circumstances where these caps would deny just compensation.

While punitive damages are generally not awarded in Massachusetts, exceptions may apply in cases of intentional or extremely reckless actions. Keeping meticulous records of all accident-related expenses is crucial for accurately assessing your damages.

Timelines for Resolving Your Personal Injury Case

The duration of a personal injury lawsuit can vary widely. Some cases are resolved swiftly through negotiation, while others may require litigation and could span several years. Achieving a settlement outside of court involves complex negotiations and careful evaluation of evidence. Our team is prepared to advocate for your best interests, whether through settlement negotiations or trial proceedings.

Statute of Limitations in Massachusetts

Massachusetts law sets a three-year statute of limitations for filing personal injury claims. It’s crucial to act promptly to gather evidence and file your case within this timeframe. Exceptions may apply for certain circumstances, such as delayed discovery of injuries or disability.
