Cases The Law Office of Ryan J. Matthews Represents
Personal injuries are compensable in Massachusetts under a comparative negligence law. This means that if a person less than 51% at fault, they can recover compensation from an accident. So, even if you did have some share of the blame for an accident, you can still get help with the medical bills ahead.
Attorney Matthews represents clients in a wide range of personal injury cases, such as:
- Car accidents: Car accidents are the most common and most serious of personal injury accidents. They are costly cases that require considerable legal attention to resolve.
- Slip-and-fall accidents: Any accident that takes place on someone else’s property is the responsibility of the property owner. If they don’t take care of obvious hazards, they can be held liable for significant damages.
- Workplace injuries: Under workers’ compensation law in Massachusetts, workplace accidents and cumulative injuries and illnesses must be covered. You can and should utilize workers’ compensation benefits when they are applicable.
Personal injury lawyers take care of the legal aspects, interacting with insurance companies and advising you on what steps to take. Because of his familiarity with the law and systems, Attorney Matthews can be much more aggressive in negotiations with intransigent insurance companies. But no matter what, he will take whatever steps to recover the compensation for injuries and pain and suffering that you deserve.
