Every day, people in Somerville and the surrounding communities are injured in accidents that should never have happened. Whether the accident occurred on a busy stretch of McGrath Highway or on a crowded sidewalk near Davis Square, many of these injuries are caused by the careless or intentional actions of another person or company. The law protects those harmed by negligent parties and gives the injured the right to seek compensation for their suffering. If you or a loved one has been injured in Somerville because of the negligence or intentional harm of others, you may be entitled to receive just compensation for your physical and psychological injuries.

Evaluating Your Insurance Settlement Offer
Our experienced attorneys will take the time to understand every detail of your case before advising you on whether the initial settlement offered by the insurance company is fair. Accepting a quick offer can leave you without the resources you need if your injuries require ongoing treatment.
Accounting for Future Damages
We look beyond your immediate medical bills and consider the future damages that may affect you for years to come including chronic pain, emotional trauma and complications from your injuries. With this knowledge, our personal injury law firm can measure the full extent of your losses and determine whether an offer truly supports your complete physical and financial recovery.
Legal Grounds for Your Personal Injury Claim
If our attorneys believe the settlement offered to you is unjust, we will aggressively pursue damages against the individual or company responsible for your injuries. Your claim may be based on:
- Negligence: When the injury was a direct result of the defendant’s failure to act with reasonable care.
- Causation: When the actions of an individual or company directly led to the injury.
- Malicious Intent: When the injury resulted from intentional harm. Claims based on intentional harm often involve a related criminal case as well.
- Product Liability: When a product fails to meet safety standards.
How We Build Your Case
Shortly after our first meeting with you, we will begin reconstructing the accident and gathering the evidence needed to support your claim. We regularly work with medical professionals, forensic experts, and private investigators who can carry out a thorough investigation and provide an independent analysis of how your accident occurred.
Protecting Your Rights Against Insurance Companies
Too many injured people permanently lose valuable rights because they trusted what they were told by an insurance company. Insurance companies devote significant resources to challenging claims in order to protect their profits. Backed by powerful legal teams and years of experience, these large corporations often hold the advantage over accident victims who try to handle a claim on their own.
Facing them without strong legal counsel and representation is a serious risk. Our dedicated personal injury attorneys can help level the playing field and will work diligently to pursue the compensation you deserve.
