Cases We Handle

Many of our clients came to our injury and car accident attorneys after one of the following types of accidents:

1. Motor vehicle accidents: Chelsea traffic can be a mess, as anyone who has sat in a car on Shawmut Street in the morning knows. Our car and truck accident attorney represent victims of car accidents of any kind, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents.
2. Pedestrian accidents: All around Boston, and Chelsea is no exception, distracted driving is taking a toll. When a driver staring at his phone hits a pedestrian on a crosswalk, lives can change forever. We represent the victims of any tragic pedestrian accident.
3. Bicycle accidents: It takes some bravery to ride a bike in Chelsea because of the traffic and congestion. Between distracted drivers and “doorings” (where someone opens a door into the path of a cyclist), bicycle accidents cause serious injuries and even tragic deaths for Chelsea residents.
4. Boating accidents: Anyone who’s taken a boat out off Revere Beach to do a little fishing knows tragedy can strike on the waters near Chelsea. We have a track record of successful personal injury cases involving victims of accidental drownings and boating/jet ski collisions.
5. Public transportation accidents: Families in and around Chelsea residents rely heavily on the MBTA to get them to work and school. When a bus or T accident leads to an injury or even death, we have the knowledge and experience to navigate the difficult task of seeking damages from a government agency.
6. Construction accidents: When workers fall victim to unsafe conditions on a construction site, whether they’re high up on scaffolding or operating heavy machinery, we’re there to help them get the compensation they deserve.
7. Unsafe property accidents: Chelsea property owners have an obligation to keep their premises safe for visitors. When they fail to live up to that obligation, we are here to help the victims file premises liability claims.
8. Dog attacks: Dog bites and other attacks shouldn’t happen, but they do. Chelsea parents, in particular, know the danger a dog can pose to a child who doesn’t know the warning signs of a dangerous animal. When a dog injures a child or an adult, we know how to hold dog owners accountable.
9. Defective products: Manufacturers of the products we use every day have a duty to make sure those products are safe for ordinary use. When their products fail and cause an injury or tragic death, Massachusetts law gives victims the right to recover significant damages in a personal injury lawsuit.

Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Lawsuits in Chelsea

Time is of great importance in personal injury claims due to the statute of limitations. In Massachusetts, filing a claim is possible within three years after the injury occurred. If you don’t file within this time frame, you may lose your right to compensation.

There can be exceptions to this rule, such as cases involving minors or cases in which the at-fault party is unknown (like hit-and-run car accidents). A personal injury lawyer can determine the right timeline and ensure that your claim is filed in time.
