Experienced Springfield Personal Injury Lawyers Fighting for Your Rights

For more than 25 years, our team of personal injury and disability attorneys has advocated for the rights of those in need. We have helped more than 50,000 people in southern and central New England and have won over $2 billion in client compensation.

Select results include:

$330,000 in a slip and fall case: The client fell on poorly maintained stairs on Hazard Court in New Bedford. The client lost consciousness in the fall, and an ambulance rushed them to St. Luke’s Hospital. The severity of the injuries, including an internal brain bleed, required the client to be transferred to Boston Medical Center, where they spent several days in the ICU. Attorney David Stauber secured damages for the client.
$15,000 for a three-year-old dog bite victim: The child was playing outside when a neighbor’s dog bit her. Paramedics rushed the child to the hospital, where she received stitches on her hands. Attorney Dan LeClaire helped the family get the necessary compensation.
$100,000 for a car accident victim: Client was a passenger in a vehicle in Ashland, MA, where he broke his right arm, leading to an open reduction procedure. We able to secure $8,000 in PIP for his lost wages immediately, and then were able to settle for one $100k policy and argued that the other drive in the crash was at least 1% at fault, securing an addition settlement from that insurer.

What To Do After a Personal Injury in Springfield

The moments after an injury are frightening and disorienting, but taking the proper steps to protect your rights is essential. Once you are stable and safe, you can begin the claims process.

Here’s what that process looks like, from start to finish:

Seek immediate medical attention: Your safety comes first. And if you decide to file charges later, you’ll need records of your injury as evidence.
Report the incident to the appropriate authority: Notify the Springfield Police and the property owner of the accident. A police report can result in valuable evidence for your claim.
Document the scene: Take photos of your surroundings and any damage. If possible, include pictures of your injuries. Take notes to supplement your photo evidence.
Gather and preserve evidence: Gather your medical records, bills, and documentation and keep them in a safe place. Also, keep a journal documenting your injury’s effects and recovery. A written record of your recovery can help support your claim.
Follow your recovery plan: Attend all doctor-recommended treatments and appointments. Abiding by your physician’s orders can strengthen your case. Continue to stay organized with all documentation related to your recovery.
Consult a personal injury lawyer in Springfield: An experienced and skilled local attorney can advise you of your rights and help you decide what to do next.
File a claim: Notify the at-fault party’s insurer and file a claim for your damages.
Avoid speaking with the insurance company: Wait until you have legal representation to speak with the other party’s insurance company, as insurers may try to exploit your vulnerability.
Consider legal action: If you cannot reach a full and fair settlement with the opposition and their insurance company, consider filing a lawsuit and pursuing litigation.

Under Massachusetts comparative negligence law, you can recover damages if you are not more at fault than the other party. Should you recover damages, the state will reduce your award by your percentage of fault. For example, if the court awards you $10,000 and you are 20 percent at fault, you would collect $8,000 in damages.

It’s crucial to act quickly to preserve your right to compensation. Massachusetts’s statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is three years, starting from the date of injury. This three-year time frame also applies to family members seeking wrongful death compensation.

Why You Need a Springfield Personal Injury Lawyer

If you have been injured by someone else’s conduct, you deserve a Springfield law firm with the experience, drive, and resources to protect your rights. Our skilled team has in-depth knowledge of the personal injury law and the Massachusetts legal system and a deep commitment to fighting aggressively for compensation for accident victims.

Should you file a claim or lawsuit, your personal injury attorney can help you file the paperwork correctly and on time. Missing the deadline imposed by the statute of limitations usually means losing your right to sue, so acting as quickly as possible is essential.

Your lawyer will handle all communications and negotiations with the other party and their insurer. This is essential because insurance companies and opposing counsel may try to use your words against you or push you into low-ball settlements. We provide expert guidance throughout the process and aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve.
