Pedestrian and Bicycle Claims

If you were injured due to the negligence of a motorist, you are entitled to be fully compensated for your medical bills and lost wages from the insurance carrier covering the vehicle that struck you. If the driver has no insurance or not enough insurance, then you may be able to pursue a claim against your own personal auto insurance or the auto insurance policy of a member of your household, depending on those insurance policy provisions. If you carry Uninsured / Underinsured Motorists Coverage you may be compensated by your insurer for amounts that you would be legally entitled to recover as damages from the owner or driver of the motor vehicle.

Although the insurance company has an obligation to pay benefits under your uninsured / underinsured motorist coverage, the process is often arduous and claims are frequently underpaid, delayed or wrongfully denied. Even after deducting attorney fees, the net recovery for an individual who is represented by an attorney will be greater than that of an individual who tried to handle it alone. In addition to maximizing compensation, an experienced Massachusetts personal injury lawyer deals with impersonal, uncooperative and aggressive insurance adjusters. From routine fender benders to catastrophic cases, it makes sense to retain an experienced law firm.
