A Massachusetts personal injury lawyer protects your claim.

An injury caused by someone else can upend every part of your life, the bills, the time away from work, and the long road back to health. Personal injury law exists to make that wrong right, by holding the responsible party accountable and providing for the losses they caused. At Larson Law, we help injured people and families across Massachusetts after car, truck, motorcycle, bus, and rideshare crashes, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, e-scooter accidents, dog bites, slip and falls, workplace injuries, defective products, and the loss of a loved one to negligence. Whatever the cause, the goal is the same: full accountability and full recovery.

Insurance companies are prepared to limit what they pay. They may dispute who was at fault, question your injuries, or press for a fast, low settlement before you know how serious your situation really is. A Massachusetts personal injury lawyer handles the insurers, proves who was responsible, and pursues the full value of your claim. Larson Law represents injured people throughout the Commonwealth at no upfront cost, and you pay nothing unless we win.

Who can recover is broad. Anyone hurt by another’s carelessness, a driver or passenger, a pedestrian or cyclist, a worker, a patient, or a customer on unsafe property, may have a claim. Families who have lost someone can pursue a wrongful death claim. The path depends on the facts, but the goal is the same in each: establish responsibility, account for every loss, and pursue the full recovery the law allows.

A serious injury brings costs that reach well beyond the first bill, from ongoing medical care and lost income to the lasting effects of a serious injury. A lawyer handles the insurers and the investigation so you can focus on healing, and because we work on a contingency fee, getting answers costs you nothing up front.

Every injury case is different, and the difference between a quick, low settlement and a full recovery often comes down to preparation. We investigate thoroughly, build the medical and factual proof, and prepare every case as if it may have to be tried, because that is what gives an insurer a reason to offer what a claim is truly worth. None of this should fall on you while you are trying to heal. The deadlines, the evidence, the paperwork, and the back-and-forth with adjusters become our job, not yours, so you can focus on your recovery while we pursue the full value of your losses.

However you were hurt, and wherever in Massachusetts it happened, you do not have to face the insurers alone. We help injured people across the whole state, and the first conversation is always free, private, and with no obligation. If we take your case, we handle everything from the investigation to the negotiations, keeping you informed at each stage, and you owe nothing unless we win.

Because we work on a contingency fee, getting help costs you nothing up front. We advance the costs of investigating the accident, gathering records, and working with any experts the case needs, and we are paid only from a successful result. That means an injured person can take on the insurance companies and pursue full accountability without paying out of pocket during an already difficult time, so cost is never a reason to wait to get advice about your rights.

If you are unsure whether you even have a claim, that is exactly what a free review is for. Many people assume an accident was just bad luck, or that the insurer’s response is the final word, only to learn that someone else was responsible and that real compensation is available for what they have been through.

How Massachusetts injury law works.

How fault and compensation work

To recover from the person who hurt you, you generally must show they were negligent. The evidence, the records, and witness accounts all help establish what happened. Under comparative negligence, MGL Chapter 231 Section 85, an injured person can recover as long as they were not more than half at fault, with the award reduced by their share. Insurers often try to shift blame to reduce what they pay, which is why careful proof matters so much.

The deadlines to bring a claim

Most injury claims must be filed within three years under MGL Chapter 260 Section 2A, and for an injured child the clock pauses under MGL Chapter 260 Section 7. If an injury proves fatal, the family may bring a wrongful death claim under MGL Chapter 229. Because evidence and memories fade, acting early helps preserve what the claim depends on.

Special rules for car crashes

Massachusetts is a no-fault state for car crashes. Under MGL Chapter 90 Section 34M, your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays a portion of your early medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. To pursue the at-fault driver for the rest of your losses, including pain and suffering, your case generally must meet the tort threshold in MGL Chapter 231 Section 6D, satisfied by a serious injury such as a fracture or by reaching the required level of medical expenses.

A police report or an insurer’s early assessment of fault is not the final word. Reports can contain mistakes, and insurers reach conclusions that serve their own interests. We investigate independently, gathering the physical evidence, any available video, and witness statements, and we are not bound by an insurer’s version of events. When the proof shows another party was responsible, we build the case to establish it, which is often what turns a denied or undervalued claim into a fair recovery.

Acting early also protects the value of a claim in ways that are easy to overlook. The evidence that proves fault, the scene, the vehicles, the video, and the witnesses, can disappear within days, and once it is gone it is difficult to rebuild. The sooner a lawyer can send preservation letters and document what happened, the stronger the foundation of the claim, which is why it helps to reach out as soon as you are able.

It also helps to understand what a claim can include, because it is usually more than the bills in front of you. Beyond the immediate medical costs, a claim can account for future care, the wages you have lost and the earning capacity a lasting injury takes away, and the pain, limitation, and disruption the injury brings to daily life. Putting a fair value on all of that takes care and experience, and it is one of the main reasons injured people are better served with a lawyer than facing an insurer alone.

Your Massachusetts personal injury lawyer serves the whole state.

Where we serve across Massachusetts

We represent injured people throughout the Commonwealth, from Greater Boston and the South Shore to the South Coast cities of New Bedford and Fall River, west to Worcester, Springfield, and the Pioneer Valley, and north through the Merrimack Valley cities of Lowell and Lawrence to the North Shore and Cape Cod. Accidents happen everywhere, on the interstates and the Turnpike, on local roads, at work, and on unsafe property. Wherever yours happened in Massachusetts, the same legal principles apply, and we are ready to help.

Care and where these claims are handled

Injured people across the state are treated at major hospitals like Massachusetts General and Boston Medical Center, UMass Memorial in Worcester, Baystate in Springfield, and the community hospitals serving each region. Injury cases are generally handled in the Superior Court of the county where the accident happened, whether Suffolk, Middlesex, Worcester, Hampden, Bristol, Essex, or another. A lawyer who handles cases across Massachusetts knows these courts and how the insurers operate in each area.

Why fast action protects your claim

The proof in an injury case fades fast. Vehicles are repaired, hazards are fixed, surveillance cameras record over their footage within days, and witnesses forget details or move on. Acting early lets your lawyer preserve the evidence, send the right letters, and protect your deadline while you focus on getting better. Larson Law builds that proof while you recover, and we never charge anything up front to do it.

If you are unsure whether you have a claim, or an insurer has already called with questions or an offer, it costs nothing to find out where you stand. Many injured people assume the insurer’s first number is all their claim is worth, or that nothing can be done, only to learn that the evidence supports a much stronger claim. The sooner a lawyer reviews what happened, the more of the proof can be secured before it fades. Tell us about your accident, and we will give you an honest assessment of your options, at no cost and with no obligation.

No matter which county your case belongs in, we handle the filings and the court process for you, so distance is never a barrier to getting help. Whether your accident happened in Boston, Worcester, Springfield, the South Coast, or anywhere else in Massachusetts, you can reach us for a free, private review of your options, and there is never any pressure to move forward until you are ready.

Throughout your case, we keep the lines of communication open. You can reach a real attorney by phone when questions come up, and if you cannot come to us, we can come to you, at the hospital, your home, or wherever you are recovering. The goal is to make a hard time a little easier by carrying the legal weight for you, so you can focus on getting better while your claim moves forward in capable hands.

We are glad to answer your questions and explain where you stand, whether or not you decide to bring a claim.

A claim should cover every cost of your injury.

An injury can leave you with costs well beyond the first bill. A claim can cover past and future medical care, lost wages and lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the lasting effects of a serious injury. A full claim accounts for all of it, not just the bills that have already arrived.

The right measure of a claim looks forward, not just at the bills already in hand. A serious injury can mean months of treatment, time out of work, and lasting limits on what you can do, and a full claim accounts for all of it. If you are not sure what yours should include, we can walk you through it during a free review, with no obligation and nothing owed unless we win.

Whatever the accident and whatever the injury, the goal is the same: establish who was responsible, document the full extent of your losses, and pursue everything the law allows, all while you focus on healing. Your first call is free, and there is never any pressure to move forward until you are ready.

However serious your injury, and wherever in Massachusetts it happened, we are ready to listen and help you understand your options at no cost.

What to do after an injury.

Get medical care and report it

See a doctor right away, even if you feel okay, and make sure the accident is reported. Fast care builds a record tying your injuries to what happened, which an insurer questions if you wait too long.

Save the evidence

Photograph the scene, the vehicles or the hazard, and any injuries before anything is changed. Keep all your bills and records, write down exactly how it happened, and note who saw the accident occur.

Talk to a lawyer before the insurer

Before you give an insurer a statement or accept a quick payout, talk with a lawyer who can sort out the coverage. Early advice shields the evidence and your deadline while you focus on your recovery.

Common questions about Massachusetts injury claims.

What is a personal injury claim?

A personal injury claim is how someone hurt by another’s negligence seeks compensation for the harm. It can cover medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the injury. The claim is usually made against the at-fault party’s insurance, and it requires showing that the other party was responsible and that their actions caused your injuries. A lawyer can evaluate what happened, identify the responsible parties, and pursue the full value of your losses. A free review can tell you whether you have a claim, at no cost.

Often, yes, if someone else’s carelessness caused your injury. You generally have a case when another party owed you a duty of care, failed to meet it, and that failure caused you real harm. The strength of a claim depends on the facts, the evidence, and the extent of your injuries. The best way to find out is a free review, where a lawyer can look at what happened and tell you honestly whether you have a claim worth pursuing and what it may be worth, with no cost and no obligation.

We handle the full range of personal injury cases across Massachusetts. That includes car, truck, motorcycle, bus, and rideshare crashes, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, e-scooter accidents, dog bites, slip and falls and other unsafe-property cases, workplace injuries, defective products, and wrongful death when a loss proves fatal. Whatever the cause, the common thread is an injury that someone else’s negligence brought about. A lawyer can tell you how the law applies to your specific situation and what the path to recovery looks like.

It depends on the injuries and their lasting effects. Value can reflect medical bills, future care, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the impact on daily life. The available insurance also matters, since it sets a practical limit on the recovery. Be cautious of any quick estimate from an insurer, which is usually low. A lawyer can evaluate the claim after reviewing the accident, the coverage, and the full medical picture, so you understand what your case may realistically be worth.

Most injury claims must be filed within three years under MGL Chapter 260 Section 2A, and for an injured child the deadline is paused under MGL Chapter 260 Section 7. Some claims, such as those involving a public entity or a car crash’s no-fault benefits, carry shorter notice deadlines. Because evidence fades, it is best to act well before the deadline. The sooner a lawyer can preserve the proof, the stronger your claim will be.

You can still recover as long as you were not more than half to blame. Under comparative negligence, MGL Chapter 231 Section 85, your compensation is reduced by your share of fault but not eliminated unless that share passes fifty percent. Insurers often try to assign extra blame to the injured person to cut what they pay. A lawyer can present the full and accurate picture of how the accident happened and protect your recovery from an unfair fault argument.

It depends on the type of accident. In most cases the at-fault party’s liability insurance is the main source of compensation. After a car crash, Massachusetts no-fault rules mean your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays certain early costs regardless of fault, and your own underinsured motorist coverage may also apply. A lawyer can sort out which policies are available, including ones you may not realize you can use, and pursue every source that should pay for your injuries.

Usually not before talking to a lawyer. A first offer often comes quickly and is calculated to close the claim cheaply, before the full extent of your injuries is known. Once you accept, you generally cannot reopen the claim for later costs, even if your condition worsens. A lawyer can tell you whether an offer is fair and negotiate for the full value of your losses, including future care, while you focus on recovering rather than on pressure from an insurer.

If an injury proved fatal, close family may bring a wrongful death claim under MGL Chapter 229. Such a claim can seek compensation for the loss of the person’s income, services, companionship, and guidance, along with funeral and related expenses. These cases are painful and the questions of fault can be complex, and a lawyer can handle the investigation and the filings so the family can focus on each other, never paying anything up front and owing a fee only if there is a recovery.

It depends on the facts, the complexity, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Many claims resolve in a matter of months through a fair settlement, while others, particularly those involving serious injuries or disputed fault, can take longer. A lawyer can give you a realistic sense of the timeline after learning the details, and will keep you informed at each stage. The goal is always a fair result, and we manage the process so you can focus on healing rather than on the pace of the case.

Nothing upfront. Larson Law handles personal injury claims on a contingency fee, so there is no charge unless we recover money for you, and the first review is always free. We advance the costs of investigating the accident, obtaining records, and working with any experts the case needs. We are only paid from a successful result, which lets an injured person take on the insurers without paying out of pocket while they recover, so cost is never a reason to wait to get advice.

Get medical care right away, even if you feel okay, and make sure the accident is reported and documented. Photograph the scene, the vehicles or hazard, and your injuries, and get the names and numbers of any witnesses. Keep your bills and records together. Avoid giving the other side’s insurer a recorded statement or accepting a quick payment before you have spoken with a lawyer, who can protect both your health and your claim from the start.
