- Wrongful DeathMany parties are responsible for your safety when you enter a plane. Air traffic controllers on the ground ensure that collisions don’t occur. The flight staff is responsible for operating the aircraft safely. And manufacturers, airlines, and maintenance providers are held to strict standards to ensure that mechanical problems don’t lead to malfunctions, accidents, injuries, and wrongful death.

- Hit and RunWhat happens when you’ve been injured by a driver who is uninsured? Or what about if you’ve got injuries worth $100,000 but the negligent operator who caused the accident is underinsured, carrying only by a $20,000 insurance policy? And what happens when your injury is caused by a hit-and-run driver? In situations such as these in Massachusetts, you can usually still get a settlement utilizing a coverage called “UM” insurance. UM requires an insurance company to stand in the shoes of the at-fault party to compensate you for your injuries, even if that company didn’t actually insure the at-fault party. As a result, the insurer must compensate you for your damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, scarring and disfigurement, and other damages.
- Premises LiabilityIn Massachusetts, premises liability — the law covering accidents caused by negligence on property — is very strict. Slip, trip and fall accident victims are not “automatically” entitled to compensation.
- Property DamageUnlike many law firms, we help our clients process their property damage and car rental claims after an auto accident.

- Medical MalpracticeConsequently, when you entrust your medical care to your doctor, hospital, or nursing home, your medical providers need to take all necessary precautions to avoid negligence, provide all possible treatment, and diagnose all present illnesses and ailments. When your doctor or other medical care provider fails in this duty, you are often eligible for financial compensation under medical malpractice laws.

- Dog BitesIn Massachusetts, unlike most states, when a dog bites a child or an adult, the injured person is usually entitled to a settlement with the dog owner’s insurance company even if there is no proof that the dog owner was negligent. A special Massachusetts statute imposes strict liability on owners of dogs who attack, meaning victims of dog bites are often entitled to substantial insurance settlements for their injuries.
