Frequently Asked Questions
Personal Injury
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions to this rule, and it's best to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
What compensation can I receive for a personal injury claim?
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and other damages. The specific amount depends on the circumstances of your case and the severity of your injuries.
Car Accidents
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
First, ensure everyone's safety and call 911 if there are injuries. Document the scene with photos, exchange information with other drivers, get witness contact information, and seek medical attention even if you feel fine. Contact our office before speaking with insurance companies.
Will my insurance rates go up if I file a claim?
Insurance rates typically only increase if you are found to be at fault for the accident. If another driver is responsible, their insurance should cover your damages without affecting your rates.
Medical Malpractice
How do I know if I have a medical malpractice case?
Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the standard of care, causing injury. Our attorneys work with medical experts to review your case and determine if malpractice occurred.
How long do medical malpractice cases take?
Medical malpractice cases are complex and can take 1-3 years to resolve. This timeline allows for thorough investigation, expert testimony, and proper valuation of long-term damages.
