Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifies as a personal injury case?

A personal injury case arises when someone is harmed because another person or entity acted negligently or failed to act responsibly. Common examples include auto accidents, slip and fall incidents, medical negligence, workplace accidents, and wrongful death.

If your injury was caused by someone else’s careless or negligent actions, you may be entitled to compensation. An attorney can review the details of your situation, your injuries, and any available evidence to determine whether a claim can be pursued.

Compensation may include coverage for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, rehabilitation costs, emotional distress, and other financial losses related to the injury.

Massachusetts generally allows three years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some cases have exceptions, so consulting an attorney early helps protect your rights.

While not required, working with an attorney greatly improves your chances of securing fair compensation. Personal injury cases can be complex, and insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. Legal representation ensures your interests are protected.

The timeline varies based on injury severity, required medical treatment, the complexity of the case, and whether litigation becomes necessary. Some cases settle in a few months, while others take longer when court involvement is required.

It’s important not to accept a settlement before speaking with an attorney. Early offers are often much lower than what your case is truly worth. An attorney can evaluate whether the offer meets your long-term needs.

Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may still recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, though your recovery may be reduced based on your level of responsibility.

Useful items include medical records, accident reports, photos, witness information, insurance correspondence, and documentation of missed work or expenses. If you do not have everything, the firm can help gather the necessary information.
