Types of Cases Boston Personal Injury Attorneys Handle
Car Accidents in Boston
Heavy traffic and dense urban streets mean car crashes are unfortunately common in Boston. Our lawyers have decades of experience holding negligent drivers accountable, whether you were hit on the Southeast Expressway (I-93), on Storrow Drive, or on a neighborhood road. As your Boston car accident lawyer, we handle everything from investigating the crash and gathering evidence to dealing with insurance adjusters who often try to minimize payouts. We have successfully represented victims of collisions ranging from fender-benders to catastrophic high-speed crashes. Our team understands Massachusetts auto insurance laws (no-fault/PIP, bodily injury claims, etc.) and how to navigate them to get you the compensation you deserve.
If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Boston, contact us for a free case evaluation – we’ll fight to recover your medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more from the at-fault party.
Truck Accident Injuries
Boston’s highways and commercial areas see frequent tractor-trailer and truck traffic, from delivery trucks in the Seaport District to 18-wheelers on the Mass Pike. An accident with a large truck can cause devastating injuries. Our firm has particular skillset in trucking accident litigation – in fact, Attorney Zachary Ballin’s trial victory in a trucking case was ranked among the Top 100 U.S. Truck Accident Verdicts of 2023. We are very familiar with the federal and state trucking regulations that often play a key role in these cases (Hours-of-Service rules, maintenance logs, truck company liability, etc.). As experienced Boston truck accident lawyers, we will quickly preserve critical evidence (such as driver logs and black box data), identify all responsible parties (from the driver to the trucking company or a vehicle manufacturer), and pursue maximum compensation for your injuries. We know how to take on big insurance companies and defense lawyers – and win. Whether your crash was on I-90, I-93, or a city street, trust Ballin Law to aggressively advocate for you after a serious truck or commercial vehicle accident.
Slip and Fall Injuries (Premises Liability)
Property owners in Boston have a legal duty to keep their premises reasonably safe. When they fail to fix hazards – like wet floors, icy sidewalks, poor lighting, or broken stairs – innocent people can suffer slip and fall injuries. Our firm handles premises liability cases ranging from falls in supermarkets and restaurants to injuries on poorly maintained city property. We understand how to prove negligence in slip and fall cases by gathering surveillance footage, incident reports, and expert analysis of dangerous conditions. Boston’s mix of historic buildings and new construction means property hazards can take many forms; we’ve seen it all. If you were hurt in a slip, trip, or fall due to unsafe conditions, our attorneys will work to hold the landlord, business, or property manager accountable for your medical bills, lost income, and other damages. We have secured substantial settlements for clients who suffered fractures, head injuries, and other serious harm after preventable falls. Don’t let a property owner’s negligence go unanswered – our Boston slip and fall lawyers can help you pursue justice. (See our Slip & Fall Lawyer page for more information on how we approach these cases.)
Bicycle Accidents & Pedestrian Injuries
Boston is a very walkable and bikeable city – from the bustling streets of Downtown and Cambridge to dedicated bike lanes in neighborhoods like Jamaica Plain. Unfortunately, drivers don’t always share the road responsibly, leading to serious bicycle accidents and pedestrian knockdowns. Ballin Law is committed to protecting the rights of injured cyclists and pedestrians. We are experienced in cases involving bicyclists hit by cars or trucks, dooring accidents, and collisions caused by unsafe road conditions. Our team appreciates the unique challenges in these cases, such as disputes over right-of-way and biased assumptions that can be made against cyclists. We work with accident reconstruction experts when needed to prove exactly how a collision occurred. As your Boston bicycle accident attorneys, we will fight for full compensation under Massachusetts law, which provides strong protections for vulnerable road users. Whether you were hit crossing the street in a crosswalk or struck while riding your bike on Massachusetts Avenue, we will pursue the maximum recovery for your injuries. We also handle pedestrian injury cases, so if you were a walker or runner hit by a vehicle, count on us to hold the negligent driver accountable.
Additional Practice Areas: In addition to the above, Ballin Law handles all types of personal injury and wrongful death cases, from motorcycle accidents and workplace injuries to medical malpractice and wrongful death claims. Our breadth of experience means we can assist you no matter how you were injured. (See our Practice Areas for a full list of the types of cases we handle.)
