Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Somerville
Personal injury matters can arise from traffic collisions, unsafe property conditions, workplace incidents, and failures involving medical care or consumer products. We represent injured people and families in a broad range of cases.
Our personal injury practice includes:
- Auto accidents
- Slip and falls
- Medical malpractice claims
- Defective products and product liability claims
- Wrongful death claims
- Bicycle accidents
- Premises liability claims
- Brain injuries
- Burn injuries
- Construction accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Trucking accidents
- Workers’ compensation claims
- Spinal cord injuries
The legal and factual issues vary by case type. An auto accident case may involve Massachusetts insurance requirements and PIP benefits, while premises liability focuses on an injury connected to a dangerous property condition. Workers’ compensation follows a different process from a case based on another party’s negligence.
We review how the injury occurred, the available records, and the parties that may bear legal responsibility. For severe injuries or wrongful death, we also consider the full scope of the losses affecting the injured person or surviving family.
Documented Personal Injury Recoveries
Our prior recoveries span several types of accidents. We have recovered hundreds of thousands of dollars for clients, including these reported results:
- $700,000 for a motorcycle accident
- $230,000 for a premises accident
- $170,000 for a slip and fall
- $150,000 for an auto collision
These figures describe past recoveries and don’t predict the value or outcome of another case. Compensation depends on the facts, available insurance, evidence of fault, nature of the injuries, and documented losses.
What to Expect During a Personal Injury Claim
We begin with a free consultation to evaluate how the injury happened, what documentation is available, and which legal steps may be appropriate. Relevant information can include incident reports, photographs, medical records, witness information, insurance correspondence, and proof of missed work.
Claim Evaluation & PIP Coordination
After reviewing the available information, we explain the issues affecting the claim and identify any additional documentation needed. Our personal injury services also include Free PIP Benefit Coordination. PIP benefits are no-fault auto insurance benefits that may cover certain accident-related expenses regardless of who caused a collision.
Settlement Discussions & Litigation
Some cases resolve through settlement discussions. If the parties don’t reach an agreement, the case may proceed to litigation and potentially a verdict. The path depends on the disputed facts, medical treatment, documentation of damages, insurance coverage, and the parties’ positions.
A personal injury case can take one to three years to reach a settlement or verdict, although timing varies. A settlement offer also expires if it isn’t accepted within its stated deadline. An offer with a 30-day acceptance period must be evaluated before that period ends.
