Injured in a pedestrian accident?

We take pedestrian 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.

Usually an insurance policy, even though you were not driving. Which one depends on the policies in play: the driver's, your own if you have a car policy, or one in your household. We work that out early so your bills are not left sitting.

Drivers have to watch for people on foot, in a crosswalk or not. Who was at fault depends on the facts of your crash, and what was written at the scene is not the last word on it. Tell us what happened and we will tell you honestly where you stand.

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.

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.

Call us as soon as you can. Camera footage and witnesses are easier to find in the first days. Coverage can still come from your own policy or one in your household, and finding every policy that might pay is a large part of the work.

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.
