The most common lawsuits in Massachusetts are personal injury, wrongful death, workers’ compensation, defective product liability, medical malpractice, car accidents, bike accidents, and pedestrian accidents. In our practice, we have dealt with all of these types of claims and many others. Our knowledge and experience allows us to achieve a large number of settlements in favor of our clients, all while avoiding time consuming litigation and trial. When necessary, we have experienced litigators who will skillfully present your case in court and work their hardest to achieve a favorable ruling.

It's important to have a Cambridge personal injury attorney on your side if you or a loved one have been injured. You may be legally entitled to obtain compensation for medical costs, lost income, and several other losses that you may have suffered. But it can be difficult to file a claim and navigate the legal process yourself, particularly when you're also dealing with severe injuries.

That is why you need an experienced Cambridge personal injury lawyer to protect your rights and interests.

You may have grounds for a personal injury claim if you have sustained a mental or physical injury because of the negligence of another person or entity. No matter the type of injuries you experience, it may feel like an enormous challenge to fight for the compensation you deserve. The process is made simpler by Bellotti Law, P.C.

Our Cambridge Personal Injury Attorneys can:

• Assess the cause and seriousness of your injury
• Determine who was to blame for the accident
• Evaluate the full value of your case, taking all possible losses into account.
• Negotiate to obtain full and equal compensation with the insurance provider
• If the insurance provider is unable to negotiate in good faith, go to court.

Our Cambridge personal injury lawyers never settle for a penny less than our clients are owed. Let us concentrate on your claim while you concentrate on getting your life back in order.

Your Cambridge personal injury lawyer will help you determine how the following injuries could affect your long-term well-being, quality of life, and finances, whether you suffer a broken bone or internal bleeding. Common types of personal injuries in Cambridge include but are not limited to:

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
• Burns
• Amputations
• Fractured bones
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Fire/Burn Injury
• Loss of Limb

Your case will likely be settled directly with the insurance provider, with no court appearance required. The reason you should seek legal counsel in dealing with adjusters, however, is that they keep their employers in service by paying victims as little as possible.

They may be taking particular note of what you say, planning to use your words against you later, even though they politely talk to you about your accident or circumstance. Our Cambridge personal injury lawyers know how to take on the insurers and litigate, if appropriate, to ensure you get the most possible compensation.

You can be awarded these various types of compensation, including:

• Medical expenses
• Lost earnings
• Property damage costs
• Pain and suffering

According to the National Institute of Health, medical malpractice kills upwards of 225,000 people per year in the United States.
