Most injuries arise out of accidents that are caused by reckless or careless acts. If you were injured in an accident, you might be able to recover damages from the party whose behavior led to the accident. Generally, Massachusetts personal injury lawsuits allege that the defendant was negligent. To prove negligence, you must establish that the defendant owed you a duty to act with reasonable care and that the defendant breached the duty. You must also show that the breach caused the accident in which you were injured and that your injuries caused you to suffer damages.

Car accidents are common throughout the Boston region, and they often cause significant injuries. While most car accidents are caused by negligent driving, they also can be caused by dangerous road conditions, defective vehicles, or a combination of factors. Recently, following a summer-long consolidated trial involving a school bus/car collision, HBMH Law’s clients obtained a significant portion of the $36.5 Million verdict, the largest Personal Injury Verdict in Massachusetts from 2019-2021. If you sustained injuries in a car accident, the personal injury attorneys at our Boston-Framingham area firm, based in Framingham may be able to recover the cost of any medical bills that you incurred in treating your injuries, as well as the cost of repairing any damage to your vehicle. If you could not work due to your injuries, you may be owed lost wages or earning capacity as well. In addition to compensation for your economic losses, you may be awarded damages for the pain and suffering that you experienced because of the accident.

Commercial trucks and buses pose a significant risk of harm to other people on the road, due to their immense size and weight. There are regulations that are imposed on truck drivers and trucking companies to help mitigate the risks associated with them. For example, there are maximum weight limits on trucks, drive time limits, and requirements for drivers and trucking companies to conduct regular inspections. When the regulations are not followed, this can lead to a catastrophic accident. In many cases, a victim injured in a trucking accident can pursue claims against the truck driver involved in the accident and the driver’s employer as well.

Construction sites may involve unguarded heights, large machinery, and industrial building supplies, as well as other elements that pose a risk of harm to workers. Thus, it is critical for the entities that manage construction sites to comply with any applicable safety rules or regulations to make sure that the sites are safe. When a company fails to comply with safety standards, it can lead to falls, electrocutions, crushing injuries, and other significant harm. If you were injured while working on a construction site, our Boston-Framingham personal injury attorneys can advise you on whether you can bring a third-party personal injury claim in addition to a workers’ compensation claim.

People rely on medical professionals to treat and prevent diseases, and they have a right to expect the care that they receive to be competent. Unfortunately, however, many treatment providers do not provide care that comports with their experience or training, and their patients may suffer harm as a result. If you were injured by incompetent medical care, you may be able to pursue damages in a medical malpractice lawsuit. Generally, you must show that your treatment provider deviated from the applicable standard of care, and the deviation caused your harm. In most cases, expert medical testimony is needed to establish the standard of care and the manner in which it was breached.

Every person has the constitutional right not to be subjected to unreasonable or excessive force by law enforcement officers. When police officers exceed their authority to use force, our lawyers can help.

All products that are sold to consumers must be safe for their intended purpose, but people are regularly harmed by unsafe products, such as pharmaceuticals or medical devices. A personal injury lawyer in our Boston-Framingham area office may be able to help a victim injured by a defective product seek damages from any entity that had a role in designing, manufacturing, distributing, or marketing the product. Often, a plaintiff bringing a product liability claim will assert that the product had a design defect or a manufacturing defect that caused it to be unreasonably unsafe. Other types of product liability theories include failure to warn and breach of warranty.

Any party that possesses or owns a property has a duty to maintain the property in a safe condition to prevent people who enter the property from being harmed. Therefore, if a person suffers an injury due to a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, the property owner may owe compensation to the victim. In most cases, for the property owner to be held liable in a premises liability claim, the injured person must show that the property owner knew or reasonably should have known of the dangerous condition. Evidence showing how long the condition existed prior to the accident can be used to establish that the owner should have discovered and remedied the condition.
