Woburn Personal Injury Attorney Fighting for the Justice That You Deserve

Personal injury is a highly specialized and complicated area of the law. Usually, insurance companies are involved because the other party, an individual or business, has insurance. Injured victims make countless claims annually, which a large insurance company and their attorneys typically work to avoid paying compensation. Insurers are generally more concerned about profitability than the accident victim’s well-being.

If you have been harmed physically or emotionally, whether intentionally or due to the negligence of another party, Massachusetts law allows you to seek compensation. Financial compensation can include money for medical expenses, lost wages, scarring or disfigurement, and pain and suffering. If a loved one has been seriously injured or killed due to the negligence of another, you can seek compensation for what is known as loss of consortium and/or wrongful death.

Why Do I Need to Know About Filing a Personal Injury Claim?

If you have been injured in an accident caused by another person’s negligence, the first step is to retain an attorney with extensive experience working with insurance companies. Do not speak to an insurance company representative before you have retained a proven personal injury attorney who will protect your rights.

In most instances, the first settlement offer made by the insurance provider will not be in your best interest. Insurance companies know that many injury victims cannot work, face a financial crisis, and are willing to accept a low settlement.

The personal injury attorneys at Contant Law P.C. will work on your behalf to maximize the settlement to help offset the pain and suffering incurred. Although you may be tempted to take a quick settlement due to financial concerns, it most likely does not compensate for pain and suffering.

At Contant Law P.C., we practice criminal defense law on a contingency basis and only charge you a fee if we obtain compensation for your injury. Some of the other services we provide for clients include:

• Gather critical evidence and information for our personal injury attorneys to start building the case
• Negotiate with the insurance provider to obtain fair compensation for your injuries and emotional trauma
• Prepare to go to trial if the insurance company is unwilling to offer a fair settlement

What are the Most Commonly Reported Personal Injuries?

Accident victims suffer a wide range of injuries depending on the circumstances involved. For example, accident victims injured in car accidents often suffer broken bones or whiplash. Motorcycle accident victims usually fare worse and may suffer catastrophic injuries that include traumatic brain or spinal cord injuries.

Construction workers are at high risk of being involved in devastating accidents such as falling from heights or being injured by power tools. Construction workers also suffer catastrophic injuries that leave them permanently disabled and often needing lifelong medical care.

Other common personal injuries cited in accident reports include:

• Head, neck, and back injuries
• Burns
• Fractures
• Cuts and abrasions
• Internal injuries

Regardless of how your accident occurred and the injuries you suffered, you may be entitled to seek compensation for lost wages, medical bills, and other accident-related damages. If you have been injured, you must seek medical attention immediately. In many instances, internal injuries do not always manifest themselves but can have severe consequences if left untreated.

Our personal injury lawyers have comprehensive experience dealing with various types of injuries. Our skilled legal team understands your physical and financial needs and will work hard to recover the compensation you need to resume your life.

Who Pays for Compensation if I Am Injured By Someone Else’s Negligence?

Massachusetts personal injury law dictates that if an individual is injured due to another person’s negligence, the at-fault party must pay compensation for the damages. Accident victims may file personal injury claims against the party’s insurance company responsible to cover medical expenses, lost income, and loss of earning capacity. Individuals injured in car accidents may also be able to recover compensation for property damage.

Injured workers generally recover compensation for their medical bills and a percentage of their lost income through their employer’s workers’ compensation insurance.

Although the claims process may seem straightforward, sometimes the insurance company tries to deny a claim by blaming the victim for causing an accident or offering less than their claim is worth. For example, suppose you suffered spinal cord injuries in an accident. Catastrophic injuries such as brain or spinal cord injuries may require lifelong medical care, which can be expensive. Sadly, insurance companies often look for legal loopholes and excuses to avoid paying out large claims, even if it means denying payment.

Regardless of whether you have suffered minor or serious injuries, you need an experienced personal injury attorney who is not intimidated by the insurance company and its legal team. Contact Contant Law P.C. and get the experienced representation you need to win your case.

Will My Case Have to Go to Trial Before I Can Receive Compensation?

Although most cases settle without going to trial, as your personal injury lawyer, we prepare every case thoroughly if a trial is necessary. This approach ensures that every client’s case receives the attention it deserves.

To effectively represent clients in a wide range of personal injury matters, we frequently consult with outside experts with advanced training in accident reconstruction, engineering, and medicine. If your case goes to trial, we can utilize the most advanced tactics, technology, and strategies, including accident reconstruction computer simulations, to bring about a favorable result.

It should be noted that even if a case is scheduled to go to trial, our Woburn personal injury lawyers can still negotiate with the insurance company to settle out of court. Unlike other attorneys who often encourage clients to take lower settlements, we are committed to helping you obtain maximum compensation for the harm you have suffered.

Contant Law P.C. has a proven record of obtaining favorable results for personal injury cases. If you want more information about our legal services or have other questions, contact our law firm to schedule a free initial consultation.

How Long Do I Have to File a Massachusetts Personal Injury Claim?

In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations allows personal injury victims up to three years to file a lawsuit. The statute of limitations ensures that claims are brought promptly, evidence is available, and at-fault parties do not have to live with the uncertainty of potential litigation.

If you have been injured in an accident caused by negligence of another, it is in your best interest to seek legal representation immediately. Although three years may seem like enough time to file a lawsuit, life can get in the way.

If you fail to file your lawsuit before the time limit expires, your case will most likely be thrown out. After the three-year time limit has passed, if no lawsuit has been filed, the insurance provider is not legally obligated to honor the claim. A few exceptions to the three-year time limit can pause the statute of limitations time limit, such as if the accident victim is a minor.

Our attorneys can assist you with filing legal paperwork and ensuring it is turned in on time so that the claims process can begin.
