Insurance companies don't like to pay fair compensation to people involved in an accident. Instead, they have perfected computer programs and standard operating procedures that seek to protect their interests, not yours. Insurance is a big business and like any big corporation they care about protecting their bottom line. In fact, they start every case by assigning you a number. The psychology of reducing you to a number is real. You lose your personal identity and instead become a mere case number or just another open file to close for as little as possible, or worse, for nothing at all.

Our trial lawyers are here to level the playing the field. If you've been involved in a motor vehicle accident, then you should never have to worry:

Do I have a case?
What is my case worth?
Who is going to pay for my medical bills?
How will I get paid for lost time from work?
Who is it safe to talk to?
Is anyone looking out for my best interests?

Our attorneys remove your worries and provide the support you deserve. We fight back to ensure you receive a fair insurance settlement based on the full compensation you deserve. If not, we're prepared to take your case to trial. Our experienced trial lawyers will meet with you to review your case and discuss its strengths. In addition, an attorney familiar with your case will thoroughly examine all avenues of insurance coverage available to pay your medical expenses and compensate you for lost wages and your pain, suffering, or loss.

First, Trust Your Instincts

Whatever you do, don't sign anything until you've spoken with a tested lawyer who understands Massachusetts auto accident law and the forms that can rob you of your accident rights. Maybe you thought you would handle your case on your own but you are now starting to question why the adjuster who seemed so nice to you upfront is growing pushier or acting disappointed in you or put off while they tell you to sign something right away because it's the best thing for you to do. They're probably even willing to come to your home to make it easier on you. Don't take the bait. They're not your advocates. Trust your instincts, slow down, and get help.

Don't Ever Blame Yourself for Your Injury or an Accident You Didn't Cause

Most Massachusetts personal injury claims involve car accidents. The US Department of Transportation estimates that the typical driver will have a near automobile accident one to two times per month and will be in a collision of some type on average of every six years. Many car accidents are caused by a negligent or reckless driver or by a driver impaired by using alcohol or drugs.

Auto Accidents are the Leading Cause of Death from Ages 3-34

Our attorneys understand more than just the reasons why an accident occurs, we understand the pain and suffering an auto accident can cause. Nowhere is this more heart wrenching than when a fatality is involved. A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study found motor vehicle traffic crashes were the leading cause of death for children age three through six and for both children and adults age eight through thirty four, without exception. In fact, motor vehicle traffic crashes rank 3rd overall in terms of the years of life lost behind only cancer and heart diseases. Our lawyers take auto accident seriously and fight to help people involved in MA car accident cases.

Types of Massachusetts Auto Accident Cases

In addition to negligent operators and impaired drivers, vehicles with design defects can also contribute to rollover accidents and other accidents. In addition, dangerous or improperly maintained roads can lead to serious crashes and serious injury. The range of motor vehicle cases deserving compensation include:
