The Insurance Company Has a Playbook. I Know How It Works.
When you're injured, the adjuster's job is to close your claim fast and cheap. They may call within days of your accident, before you know the full extent of your injuries or what your case is actually worth. I negotiate directly with insurers on your behalf — and because I have standing agreements with several of the largest carriers in Massachusetts, I know exactly how they value claims and where they have room to move.
If you're already getting calls from an adjuster, the most important thing you can do right now is stop talking to them and let me handle it instead.
Practice Areas: Every Type of Injury Claim, Handled Personally
Whether you were hurt in a car crash on Route 6, injured on someone else's property, or struck while walking or riding, I handle the full range of personal injury claims across southeastern Massachusetts. Every case gets my direct attention — not a paralegal, not a case ma
Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, highway accidents — auto injury is the most common claim I handle, and the one where insurers push hardest to minimize your payout.
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they don't, and you're hurt as a result, you may have a valid negligence claim.
Workplace injuries in Massachusetts often involve both workers' compensation and a potential third-party negligence claim. I help injured workers understand all available avenues for recovery.
Motorcyclists are disproportionately blamed in crashes — even when another driver caused the collision. I know how to counter that bias and build a strong liability case.
Commercial truck crashes involve federal regulations, multiple liable parties, and insurers with aggressive defense teams. These cases require thorough documentation from day one.
Pedestrians struck by vehicles often suffer serious injuries — and are frequently entitled to compensation from multiple sources, including the at-fault driver's liability coverage and their own PIP benefits.
Cyclists injured by negligent drivers face the same uphill battle motorcyclists do. I handle bicycle accident claims with the same attention to liability and documentation.
Massachusetts has strict liability for dog bite injuries — meaning the owner is generally responsible regardless of whether the dog had a history of aggression.

How Massachusetts Personal Injury Law Works
Understanding a few key rules will help you make sense of your situation before we even speak.
Step 1:
The No-Fault Threshold
Massachusetts is a no-fault auto insurance state, which means your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays your initial medical bills regardless of who caused the accident. To bring a claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, your medical bills must exceed $2,000 — or your injuries must meet a separate severity threshold. I'll tell you in our first conversation whether your case clears that bar.
Step 2:
The Statute of Limitations
In Massachusetts, you generally have three years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing that deadline almost always means losing your right to recover. If you're unsure where you stand, don't wait — contact me now and I'll confirm your timeline.
Step 3:
Comparative Negligence
Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you were partially at fault for the accident, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault — but you can still recover as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Insurers use this rule aggressively to reduce payouts. I use it to protect your recovery.
Step 4:
Contingency Fee Representation
I work on a contingency basis on every personal injury case. You pay no attorney's fee unless I recover compensation for you. There are no upfront costs and no hourly billing.
Common Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Massachusetts
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
If someone else's negligence caused your injury — whether a driver, a property owner, or an employer — you likely have a claim worth evaluating. The free consultation exists precisely for this: I review the facts of your situation, assess liability and available coverage, and give you an honest read on what your case may be worth. You don't need to decide anything to have that conversation.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
Case value depends on several factors: the severity of your injuries, the cost of your medical treatment, whether you missed work, and the limits of the at-fault party's insurance coverage. I can give you a realistic range once I've reviewed your records and the available coverage. What I won't do is inflate your expectations to sign you up and then settle cheap.
How long does a personal injury case take to resolve?
Cases I handle through pre-suit negotiation — which is most of them — typically resolve faster than cases that go to litigation. The timeline depends on how long your treatment takes and how quickly the insurer responds, but many straightforward claims settle within several months of completing treatment. I'll give you an honest timeline estimate based on the specifics of your case.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases in Massachusetts settle before trial. My approach is to build the strongest possible demand package and negotiate directly with the insurer to reach a fair settlement without filing suit. If the insurer won't move to a reasonable number, I'm prepared to litigate — but the goal is always to get you a fair result as efficiently as possible.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
Massachusetts comparative negligence law allows you to recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. Your recovery is reduced by your share of fault, but it's not eliminated. This is an area where having an attorney matters — insurers will argue your fault percentage up whenever they can.
What does "no fee unless you win" actually mean?
It means I take no attorney's fee unless I recover money for you. My fee is a percentage of the settlement or judgment — you'll see the exact percentage in writing before we begin. There are no upfront costs, no retainer, and no hourly charges. If I don't win, you don't owe me anything for my time.
