Car Accidents

Victims of car accidents are entitled to compensation for property damage (car and motorcycle repairs), medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and permanent injury or disfigurement. Adjusters and insurers have one set of procedures for handling claims by individuals not represented by an attorney and a different set of rules for claims in which the victim has an attorney. You will rarely maximize your recovery by trying to handle your claim alone.

While car accidents comprise a significant portion of personal injury and wrongful death claims, they can be complex. Our expertise in car accident litigation is broad. We know that in order to maximize compensation, an attorney must understand:

• The "rules of the road" in Massachusetts
• The special duties imposed on commercial and public carriers
• The complex scientific and engineering principles necessary to determine how an accident occurred
• The medical evidence and literature used to evaluate injuries
• The economic and accounting principles needed to evaluate losses.

At Cornetta, Ficco & Simmler PC, we understand these elements and use our expertise to the advantage of all of our clients.

We handle all types of motor vehicle accident cases, including those involving:

• Rear end collisions
• Intersection accidents
• Alcohol related crashes
• Hit and run
• Passenger injuries
• Driver injuries
• Motorcycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Bicycle accidents

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 will deal with impersonal, uncooperative and aggressive insurance adjusters. From routine fender benders to catastrophic cases, it makes sense to retain an experienced law firm.
