What types of compensation are available in a personal injury case?

Compensation in a personal injury case can cover medical bills, lost income, and the physical and emotional pain that comes after an accident. Every situation is different, which is why we take time to understand what our clients are going through before building a strategy. With more than a decade of litigation experience, our attorneys have helped people rebuild after serious injuries by pursuing the compensation they deserve. We prepare every case with care, because the outcome can change how our clients move forward.

What should I do immediately following a car accident?

After any crash, your health comes first. Get medical care immediately, even if you don't think you're seriously hurt. Then, document everything you can, including photos, witness information, and police reports. From there, our attorneys step in to handle insurance communications and guide you through the process. Our founding partner, Matthew J. Fogelman, recognized by Super Lawyers for his work in personal injury law, leads our team with the kind of preparation and persistence that gives clients confidence during uncertain times.

How can a lawyer help with my motorcycle accident claim?

Motorcycle accident cases are often complicated because they involve serious injuries and unfair assumptions about riders. Insurers may try to minimise payouts or blame the rider, even when another driver caused the crash. We work with reconstruction and medical professionals to prove what really happened and the actual impact of the injuries. Our attorneys have years of courtroom experience and a reputation for standing up for riders when the odds feel stacked against them.

What protections do employees have under employment law?

Employment law exists to protect workers from being mistreated. Whether it's discrimination, harassment, unpaid wages, or retaliation, we help employees understand their rights and hold employers accountable. We also review and negotiate employment and severance agreements to help our clients make informed decisions about their futures. Our firm has successfully argued precedent-setting cases before the state's highest court, shaping fairer workplace standards and strengthening protections for employees across the Commonwealth.

What qualifies as disability discrimination at work?

Disability discrimination occurs when an employer mistreats an employee or refuses to provide reasonable accommodations for a medical condition. Our attorneys know this area of law deeply, having won a landmark case before the state Supreme Judicial Court on behalf of a worker wrongfully terminated for lawful off-site medical marijuana use. That decision helped expand employee protections statewide. We continue to work for clients facing similar challenges, making sure every worker has a fair chance to succeed.
