Accidents are almost always preventable. In many cases, an accident wouldn’t have happened if the negligent parties had acted with care. The victims of these acts of carelessness should be able to pursue compensation for their losses from the negligent parties. One of our Boston personal injury lawyers can help if you or a loved one was hurt due to someone else’s negligence.

Types of Personal Injury Cases Our Attorneys Handle in Boston
Negligence lies at the heart of all personal injury cases. It is made up of the following four elements:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
You won’t have a case without being able to prove each of these. Our Boston personal injury attorneys will review the details of what happened, determine your eligibility to take action against the other party, and pursue fair compensation on your behalf.
Our law firm takes on a wide variety of personal injury cases in Boston, including the following:
- Car accidents: The other driver could have been distracted, under the influence, speeding, or ignoring traffic law.
- Truck accidents: These cases can be especially complex since multiple parties, like the trucker, trucking company, and city, may be involved.
- Motorcycle and bicycle accidents: Injuries in these types of accidents can be especially devastating since motorcycles and bicycles virtually offer no protection.
- Slip and falls: If a property owner doesn’t keep the premises safe and repair hazards as soon as they find out about them, they may be negligent.
- Boating accidents: Operator inexperience, distraction, and speeding are all major contributors to boating accidents.
- Medical malpractice: A doctor, nurse, pharmacist, or the hospital itself could be responsible for the medical error (e.g., misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, incorrect dosage) that caused your injuries.
- Defective products: There could have been a design, manufacturing, or distribution error.
If any of these accidents resulted in your loved one’s passing, our Boston wrongful death attorneys can pursue compensation for you and your family while you mourn this heartbreaking loss.
Our Boston Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help You Pursue Compensation
Don’t wait to start building your case for damages. Under Mass. Gen. Laws. Ch 260 § 2A, if you’re filing a personal injury lawsuit, you typically must abide by the three-year deadline. Wrongful death claimants tend to have the same amount of time, per Mass. Gen. Law. Ch. 229, § 2.
If you fail to file within the statute of limitations, you could have no legal recourse for compensation. That’s why contacting a lawyer about your personal injury case immediately following an incident can be helpful. Our lawyers can ensure you comply with the state-mandated timeline.
It will also give us enough time to determine which damages you may be eligible to recover, which could include:
- Medical bills
- Past income loss
- Future loss of earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Emotional distress
- Wrongful death damages

What to Expect From Our Lawyers When They Take Your Personal Injury Case
We believe that everyone deserves access to legal representation, and we make that easy for Boston’s diverse community. We have staff fluent in various languages, like Arabic, Creole, Greek, Spanish, Turkish, Russian, and Portuguese. We can communicate with you in your native language to make you feel more comfortable throughout the legal process.
Our personal injury attorneys will take on multiple tasks for you so you can spend that time with your family and recover from your injuries instead. These tasks include the following:
- Compiling evidence: Our team will collect the police or incident report, relevant photographs and video, medical records, and witness statements.
- Identifying the liable party: Sometimes, there may be more than one, and we can pursue damages from responsible parties that match their degree of blame.
- Communicating with the insurance company: Your lawyer can handle all verbal and written correspondence with the insurance adjuster and other parties.
- Negotiating a settlement with the insurance company or filing appeals if needed: The insurer doesn’t always grant our initial request for damages, so we will go back and forth with them until we can reach an agreement.
- Litigating your case in trial: If your attorney and the insurer can’t settle your case out of court, we will take it to trial. We are prepared for this stage and will help you feel prepared as well since our firm provides mock trials/court.
On top of taking care of the legalities of your personal injury claim, we will give you the client care you deserve. You won’t ever have to wonder about what’s happening in your case, as we will provide you with regular updates throughout the legal process. If you still have questions, your attorney will quickly reply to your emails and calls. It’s our goal for you to feel at ease from the start of your case to its end.
