Injured in a car accident?

We take car accident cases on a contingency fee, so there is no upfront fee or cost to you and no charge for the initial consultation. We are paid a percentage of the recovery, and if we do not recover money for you, you owe us no attorney fee. The specific percentage and how case costs are handled are set out in a written fee agreement that you read and sign before we represent you.

Nobody can tell you honestly over the phone. It depends on the severity and permanence of your injuries, your medical expenses and lost income, how clear fault is, your own share of fault, and how much insurance coverage actually exists. A serious injury caused by a driver carrying only a minimum policy may only reach the available policies. We look at all of it before we give you a range.

Massachusetts sets a filing deadline, and the date that applies depends on the kind of claim and on who you are claiming against. Miss it and the claim is over however strong it was. Call us and we will tell you yours. Evidence disappears long before any deadline runs, which is the other reason not to wait.

Often, yes, and using it is not an admission that the crash was your fault. Some coverage pays medical bills early whoever caused the crash. We read every policy in play, yours and theirs, before anyone decides what gets filed where. Bring your declarations page to the first call if you can find it.

Tell us anyway. Fault is rarely all on one side, and what was written at the scene is not the last word on it. What matters is how the evidence divides responsibility once someone actually works through it. That is worth a free conversation before you decide you have no claim.

We check that early, and it is more common than people expect. Coverage can come from your own policy, from another vehicle in your household, or from a company that owned or controlled the vehicle. Finding every policy that might pay is a large part of the work.

Talk to a lawyer first. An early offer often arrives before anyone knows whether your injury is permanent, and accepting it typically requires signing a release that ends your claim for good, including for treatment you have not had yet. There is no cost to having us look at the offer before you sign anything.

In the event that you are dissatisfied within the first 30 days, you may have your file returned to you by the firm, free of charge.
