How Can a Personal Injury Lawyer at Rob Levine Law Help?
Our Results Speak For Themselves
We’ve recovered over $2 billion in compensation and benefits in personal injury, Social Security Disability, and veterans disability cases. It’s a staggering number—one we’re proud to share. Here are just a few examples of the Boston-area lives we’ve helped change for the better with our relentless advocacy:
- Attorney David Stauber secured $330,000 for a slip and fall accident where a client fell on poorly maintained stairs and lost consciousness. The client was taken to St. Luke’s. However, his injuries, including internal bleeding of the brain, were so severe that he was rushed to Boston Medical Center, where he spent several days in the ICU.
- Attorney Kevin Marchand secured $250,000 for a client who went to a nail salon for a pedicure. The tech cut her foot while removing dead skin. The worker then put the woman’s shoe back on, resulting in a large infection that almost required amputation of her foot.
- Attorney Dakota Smythe secured $250,000 for a client who was rear-ended. Our client suffered from months of headaches requiring neurological treatment. After months of treatment and testing, our client required back surgery to repair two discs.
What Is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law allows injured people to recover compensation for their losses if someone else is liable for their injury. You may have a personal injury claim if someone else’s negligence caused your injury.
A wide range of incidents can lead to a personal injury claim, including the following:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Boat accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Slips and falls
- Workplace injuries
- Nursing home abuse
- Wrongful death
How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Claim in Massachusetts?
You have three years to file a personal injury claim in Massachusetts. The personal injury statute of limitations imposes this deadline, which generally begins running on the injury date. Wrongful death claims also have a three-year statute of limitations, but the countdown begins on the date of death.
Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to seek compensation. You must act quickly if you suspect you have a personal injury claim. A personal injury lawyer at Rob Levine Law will file your claim within the statute of limitations and preserve your right to compensation.
The Legal Process for Personal Injury Claims in Boston
An initial consultation with an attorney is generally the first step of a personal injury claim in Boston. During this meeting, our attorneys will assess your case’s strength and inform you of your legal options. If we agree to proceed with a claim, we’ll investigate your injury to determine who’s liable and gather evidence to support our argument.
Next, we’ll begin pursuing a claim on your behalf. We’ll investigate your claim and gather evidence to build your case against the at-fault party. Next, we’ll typically submit a demand letter to the at-fault party or their insurance company. The demand letter outlines the reason for the claim and the compensation you seek. This usually starts the negotiation process, which involves back-and-forth communication between both parties to reach a settlement agreement.
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, if the negotiation process fails to result in a fair settlement, we’ll file a lawsuit and litigate your case. If necessary, we’ll take your case to trial. This option allows a judge or jury to determine your case’s outcome. Our personal injury lawyers in Boston will represent you in court and present evidence and arguments on your behalf.
What Damages Can I Recover for a Personal Injury Claim?
You can recover compensation for any damages you have sustained due to your injury. These include both economic and non-economic damages, such as the following:
- Past and future medical expenses for hospitalizations, surgeries, medications, and other necessary treatments
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity for your injury’s long-term effects on your ability to work, including lost income, benefits, opportunities, and more
- Travel expenses for medical treatment, including gas, lodging, and airfare
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of consortium for your injury’s impact on your relationships with loved ones
- Disfigurement for any permanent effects on your appearance
If you have lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, you may also be eligible to pursue wrongful death damages such as funeral expenses, lost companionship, and lost income. You may also pursue punitive damages if the defendant’s gross negligence or willful or wanton conduct has caused your loved one’s death. Punitive damages aim to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future.
If you are unable to work because of your injury, you may also qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. Our attorneys can help you explore this option in addition to a personal injury claim.
How Long Does It Take To Settle a Personal Injury Case in Boston?
The timeline varies based on the circumstances of each case. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few months to several years to resolve a Boston personal injury case.
Many factors can influence your case’s timeline, including the nature and severity of your injury, the complexity of the case, the certainty of liability, and the availability of strong evidence. Your attorney’s experience can also affect how quickly your case moves forward. An experienced attorney is better equipped to quickly handle roadblocks such as liability disputes, requests for more evidence, or claim denials.
