Common injuries and accidents

Personal injuries in Massachusetts come in many forms.  Fortunately, Whitman Law has experience in just about every conceivable one.  We are a leading Massachusetts personal injury law firm, championing the cause of the seriously injured since 1986, recovering millions in damages for those in the following situations.

Product liability

A company or person who creates, introduces, distributes, or sells a product to the public may be responsible for personal injury resulting from a defective or dangerous product, such as—

• An unsafe drug
• A foreign object in a food product
• A defectively designed automobile
• An improperly repaired or serviced product
• A product with inadequate warning instructions
• A product for infants or toddlers that presents choking hazards

The manufacturer or seller fails in their duty and you suffer injury as a result, you may be able to recover for the injury damages. Learn more.

Workers' compensation

Employees may be injured to the extent that they are unable to work.  At that point, the Massachusetts workers' compensation system should kick in to pay 60 percent of their average weekly wage and cover reasonable and necessary medical bills.  When insurance companies do not fulfill their obligations, or when the employer unfairly rebuts your claim, we step.

Car or Auto Accidents

Many of our clients have been injured in a motor vehicle accident in which they are the victim of another party's negligent actions or inactions, such as—

Construction accidents

Keeping a construction site safe requires continual attention, and it is the responsibility of the construction company to do so.  When they are negligent, we litigate for their victims of incidents, such as—

Animal bites

Hundreds of thousands fall victim to dog bites from neighbors' pets annually.  They may be entitled to compensation for such a dog attack, as well as for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other expenses.  Read more.

Burn Injuries

Burns are a leading cause of unintentional death in the United States, exceeded in numbers only by automobile crashes and falls.  Serious burns are complex injuries.  Lawsuits for victims of negligent burn accidents are also complex.  Read more. 

Slip and fall

"Slip and fall" in a personal injury case is when a person slips and falls—injured on someone else's property.  These cases usually fall under the broader category of premises liability claims, because slip and fall accidents usually occur on property owned or maintained by someone else, and the owner or possessor of the property may be held legally responsible.  Read more.

Crosswalk accidents

Close to 5,000 pedestrians are killed in traffic accidents every year.  For pedestrians that survive, the injuries are often severe and life-altering. The can include injuries to the head or neck, crushing injuries, spinal cord paralysis, broken or dislocated bones and dismemberment.  Read more. 

Motorcycle and bike accidents

Motorcyclists' and biker's injuries tend to be more severe than those of drivers or passengers of cars and trucks.  The combination of the vulnerability of the vehicle, the distracted attention of drivers, and the sometimes crowded conditions of highways often lead to tragic consequences.  Read more.
