Personal Injury

Injured in an auto collision? You may be entitled to compensation.

Massachusetts highways and intersections are dangerous. With one careless driver’s actions, your life could change in an instant. When someone else is at fault, it’s natural to seek compensation to set things right—and you’re going to want the best legal help possible to achieve that goal.

Car accidents happen for dozens of reasons—turning without looking, failing to see other vehicles, seeing other vehicles but making incorrect assumptions about their intentions, illegal driving maneuvers, distracted driving, drunk driving...the list goes on and on.

Seatbelts and airbags aren’t always enough to keep you safe in an accident. With the average passenger vehicle weighing about 4,000 pounds, car accident victims often suffer from all manner of devastating injuries. Some of the most common are:

Cuts and scrapes
Head injuries
Broken ribs and other bones
Internal bleeding
Herniated discs
Dislocated knees
PTSD

If another driver is responsible for your injuries, they should also be held responsible for the expenses associated with those injuries. But car accident cases can be complicated. In some cases, the other driver may refuse to pay—or even say that the crash was your fault.

That’s where we come in. We will investigate your crash, build your case, and seek the compensation you deserve to make your life whole again. Let us carry some of your burden and make this difficult process as easy and simple as possible.
