- Traffic ViolationsIn most motor vehicle collision cases, an injured plaintiff must establish another driver's negligence. Sometimes, however, car accidents arise as a result of negligence by both parties. Perhaps one driver was texting, while another driver was speeding. When a defendant raises a plaintiff's comparative negligence, the damages may be reduced in proportion to the plaintiff’s fault. As a plaintiff, you can only recover damages if your percentage of fault was less than 51%. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover at all. This stark rule makes it important to retain a car accident lawyer who assists people throughout Boston as early as possible in the process so that the defendant does not unfairly shift the blame to you.

- Restraining OrderThere are many advantages to filing a civil lawsuit. First, the victim is a party not just a witness to the lawsuit. The victim controls the litigation to the extent that the case can only be settled with the victim’s consent under terms agreeable to the victim. A civil settlement may include financial compensation, a restraining order against the perpetrator, an apology from the perpetrator or the organization that failed to provide proper security, a change in defendant’s policies, staffing, security and other mutually agreed to terms. It is important that you understand your rights as a victim of a violent crime. We urge you to contact our office for a free consultation with Attorney Kolpan, a Boston violent crime attorney, who represents persons throughout Massachusetts and has represented clients in other states.

- Workers Compensation
- Property DamageIf you can successfully establish liability, you should be able to recover compensatory damages with the aid of an experienced Boston injury attorney. Compensatory damages are intended to compensate a victim for all of the economic and noneconomic losses that resulted from injuries caused by someone else. They can include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, scarring and disfigurement, the costs of future care, and pain and suffering, among other examples. Additionally, in Massachusetts, you may obtain punitive damages in a wrongful death suit. Motor Vehicle Collisions
- Personal InjuryStatistics from the Brain Injury Association of America suggest that about one in five brain injuries are caused by a motor vehicle accident. When the collision was the result of carelessness or recklessness, an injured person can often pursue compensation from the driver who caused the harm. Such a lawsuit is called a “negligence” suit and proceeds in much the same way as any personal injury case. It takes an experienced and dedicated motor vehicle accident attorney to pursue justice on behalf of Boston residents who have suffered catastrophic injuries as the result of a crash. The Law Firm of Kenneth I. Kolpan has over 35 years of experience representing traumatic brain injury (TBI) victims, and we will be glad to review your case at no charge. Pursuing a Claim for Compensation against a Negligent Driver
- Medical MalpracticeBrain injury cases are unique, challenging and complex. It is essential to have well experienced legal representation by an attorney who concentrates his practice in brain injury litigation, sometimes referred to as neurolaw. The attorney must be familiar with the mechanism of how brain injuries occur; the attorney should have access to brain injury experts who can teach jurors, judges and adjusters about the consequences of brain injuries; and the attorney have the background to handle these complex, challenging and sometimes difficult cases. Brain injuries occur from trauma in vehicle accidents, slips and falls, sports activities and as the result of medical malpractice.
