Practice Areas
Fall River, Massachusetts, Advocates for Injured Workers
Our extremely active law practice is devoted to resolving difficult issues for people who have been injured at work or become disabled. Rather than spreading our efforts over other practice areas, our team works extremely hard to provide all the personal attention you need when you are hurting and concerned for your future.
We value our reputation as a full-service law firm for injured and disabled workers, and as a dependable resource for honest counsel truly centered on human needs. You can talk to us, free of charge, when you need to understand your legal options for getting through an extremely difficult time.
Your Resource for Critical Claims, Appeals, Hearings or Litigation
Our three attorneys have the knowledge and experience to counsel you in the following important areas:
- Workers’ compensation claims and disputes — arising from all types of work-related accidents, and producing disabling outcomes ranging from repetitive stress injuries to heart attacks
- Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) claims
- Disability retirement applications and appeals for government employees
- The full range of potential compensation sources for victims of industrial and machine accidents, falls, and other events that cause back injuries and other serious, disabling injuries
- Assertive legal action after an on-the-job or private auto accident
- Personal injury litigation, including product liability claims and cases of job site negligence by someone other than your employer
- Longshoremen’s injury claims
Many Services on a Full Contingency Basis
We provide all our services related to Workers’ Compensation and Social Security claims on a contingency basis, which means we do not earn any fees unless you succeed in getting compensation. When we succeed for you in these matters, the fees we earn are determined by state law and calculated as a percentage of the compensation you will now receive for the period since you were injured or became disabled.
Our lawyers and staff work with care and sensitivity. We make many hospital and home visits to work with people who cannot travel, and we make a point of being extremely responsive. When you have a question or concern at any time, we will welcome your call or e-mail and we do our best to provide a fast, helpful answer.
