If you have been injured on the roadways in the Greater Boston area because of the careless or negligent behavior of another driver or even as a pedestrian or a bicyclist, you want an experienced attorney to help you get full and fair compensation for all your losses. Often, an insurance company will get involved, either trying to deny your claim or get you to take less than you deserve. You want a lawyer who knows how insurance companies operate and how to protect your interests throughout the process.

My Motor Vehicle Accident Injury Practice

I aggressively pursue full and fair compensation for people who have been injured in an accident involving a motor vehicle, handling all claims involving

• Car accidents-drivers and passengers
• Truck wrecks-commercial vehicles, semis, tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, big rigs
• Motorcycle crashes-single vehicle or multi-vehicle collisions
• Boating accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle injuries

In my experience, the party causing the injury will almost always be represented by an insurance company. This is where my extensive experience working for insurance companies will help me present your case. I know how insurers prepare the defense of motor vehicle injury claims and can take measures at an early stage to counteract their tactics.

Because of my extensive experience, I know how to use expert witnesses to strengthen your case. I can call upon accident reconstruction experts to establish the cause of the accident, as well as medical experts and economists to prove the full extent of your injuries.

I handle all types of injuries resulting from an auto accident, from soft tissue to serious and catastrophic injuries, including neck and back injuries, disc trauma, spinal cord injury and paralysis and orthopedic injuries. I also represent individuals and families in wrongful death actions.

I handle all motor vehicle accident claims on a contingent fee basis. I will only charge attorney fees if I am able to recover compensation for your losses.

If you are involved in a liquor liability claim, you want an experienced and aggressive lawyer to protect your rights. You want an attorney who knows the dram shop laws, and who will make certain you understand your options, so that you can make informed decisions that are in your best interests.

My Dram Shop Law Practice

I represent plaintiffs and defendants in cases where personal injury is alleged to have been tied to the use of alcohol, whether the drinks were served in a bar or restaurant, or by a social host at a private residence or house party. Frequently, the personal injury claims that fall under dram shop laws result from motor vehicle accident injuries caused by drunk driving. Claims can arise under a variety of circumstances, including

• Providing liquor or beer to minors-this can include unknown persons who simply show up at a keg party
• Knowingly serving substantial quantities of alcohol to the same person (known as over-serving) or selling or giving alcohol to someone you know is intoxicated.

Helping You Recover Compensation for dog bites and animal attacks

If you have suffered a physical injury because of a dog bite, you want an experienced attorney to aggressively protect your interests. Massachusetts has a "strict liability" law which holds a dog owner responsible to victims of dog bites provided the person bitten was not trespassing, teasing or tormenting the dog. Those commonly at risk include house guests, small children, delivery persons, home repair workers as well as bicycle riders and pedestrians. If you have been the victim of a dog bite or animal attack, you want an attorney who thoroughly understands the laws and what needs to be proven to help you get full and fair compensation for your injuries.

My Dog Bite Injury Practice

I focus my dog bite representation on the needs of individuals who have been injured because of an unrestrained or aggressive animal. In the past, I have also represented dog owners and home owners in the defense of these claims, and will use this knowledge when I am preparing your case.

Dog bites injuries can result in severe soft tissue injuries, infections, permanent scarring and disfigurement, as well as long lasting emotional injuries such as anxiety, fearfulness, and depression. There is no such thing as a "one bite rule" and the majority of these claims are covered by the dog owner's home owner's insurance.

Dog and other animal owners may also be held responsible to passersby such as bicycle riders, joggers, or pedestrians who are injured as a result of trying to escape or avoid a loose or unleashed animal. Emergency responders such as police officers, firefighters and EMTs can also recover for damages resulting from dog bites while responding to calls.

If you have suffered injury because of another person's dog or animal, we will aggressively advocate to help you recover for your losses.
