As experienced attorneys, we know that an
individual can be a victim of personal injury at any time and
in any place. If you have suffered physical or emotional harm because of
someone else’s negligent or reckless actions, you are entitled to file a
claim against the party at fault. Kantrovitz & Associates’ clients
have been awarded monetary damages for medical costs, lost
income (past and future), expenses, and pain and suffering. We have managed
claims including auto accidents, product liability, construction site
mishaps, aviation disasters, malpractice, Worker’s Compensation, lead
poisoning, wrongful death, school accidents, dog bites, fires and fireworks.
Each case receives the high-level of personal commitment and expertise
required to win cases.
In Massachusetts, you must prove that you have been injured by
another party’s careless or reckless actions to win a personal injury
claim. Personal injury victims (plaintiffs) can file one of several types of
wrongful injury suits (torts) against defendants including:
- Negligence
– an individual’s act or failure to act has caused injury. While the
act may be unintentional, the defendant is still liable for damages.
- Strict liability
- generally applies to product liability, which are claims filed against
manufacturers and suppliers for dangerous products that cause injury.
- Intentional misconduct
– is the malicious or intentional infliction of harm that results in
an injury or death. This type of claim is litigated under criminal law
and punishment can include prison.
- Comparative negligence
– because the actions of the injured person may have contributed to
their own harm, the negligence is divided between the injured party and
the defendant and the damages are reduced accordingly.
Each of these suits has different guidelines,
restrictions and damage award guidelines. Only an experienced lawyer who
knows Massachusetts’ intricate personal injury laws, the court system and
individual rights can effectively prove your physical and/or mental injury
under state laws. Kantrovitz and Associates will help you decide your
best course of action and we will develop the best legal strategy for
demonstrating your claim.
Physical personal injury can include disfigurement, loss of limb, permanent
or disfiguring scars, disability, and loss of one of the five senses. Mental
harm might include emotional trauma, mental anguish, embarrassment, loss of
love and affection, or loss of enjoyment. Whether your injuries were caused
by an accident, malicious intent, or a defect in a product’s design,
production or labeling, you have the right to seek compensation for economic
and non-economic damages.
Because the Statute of Limitations applies to personal injury cases, victims
have a limited timeframe in which to file their case. It is important that
you consult an attorney if you believe you have a claim, so that you protect
your right to file suit.
