Dog Bites
Being attacked or bitten by a dog is a terrifying experience. In Massachusetts and New Hampshire, owners are strictly liable for any injuries their dog causes, regardless of whether the dog has attacked anyone before or shown violent tendencies.
Filing a dog bite lawsuit against the owner can help you get compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and psychological harm.

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect
When your loved one is in a nursing home, you expect them to be cared for and their medical needs met. But when a facility fails to do so, or even abuses your family member, the discovery can be devastating.

- Shows signs of malnutrition, dehydration, bed sores, or other indicators of neglect
- Was physically or sexually abused by a staff member or another patient
- Was stolen from or taken financial advantage of

Wrongful Death
If your loved one died after an accident or injury that wasn’t their fault, you may be able to hold someone else accountable.
Potential at-fault parties include:
- An employer
- A motor vehicle driver
- A hospital
- A property owner
- A product manufacturer
- Anyone else who may have owed your loved one a duty of care
While money can never replace a family member, it can help cover sudden expenses related to your loved one’s death like funeral expenses and medical bills for care provided before their passing.

Bicycle Accidents
The last thing you expect when riding your bicycle is to be hit by a car or truck, but this unfortunately happens every day. Since bicyclists have little to no protection in an accident, the consequences can be critical or even deadly. A lawsuit can help you hold the at-fault party responsible for your injuries and get you the compensation you need for medical bills, time out of work, and other expenses.

Personal Injury
Navigating any personal injury lawsuit can be challenging, especially if you’ve never been seriously hurt or cared for a family member who was injured. In both Massachusetts and New Hampshire, you have three years from the date of the injury or the date you discovered the injury to file a claim.
Once you file, the at-fault party will have the opportunity to offer you a settlement. You can accept the settlement if it’s fair or you can go to trial. The at-fault party can also decide not to offer you a settlement and proceed to trial.
If you do go to court, you will go through the process of discovery where evidence is obtained and shared with both parties. Then, this evidence is presented to a judge or jury who will decide the final outcome.
