With decades of successful experience, the attorneys at The Law Offices of Bailey & Burke have earned a strong reputation throughout Massachusetts and the legal community, as well as the respect of judges and opposing counsel.

We represent accident victims across Massachusetts with injuries and damages of all levels, and every case receives the full support and personal attention of our legal team. We pursue every reasonable lead, work with highly qualified experts, and use advanced technology to strengthen each claim and clearly demonstrate the extent of our clients’ injuries and losses. Through thorough preparation and compelling presentation of damages, many of our cases are resolved favorably through settlement without the need for trial.

$8.4 Million Verdict

Insurance Bad Faith Claim – Our client was in a car accident sustaining serious and lifelong injuries. Total insurance coverage that was available to the person responsible for the accident was $300,000. The insurance company did not make a prompt and reasonable settlement offer. They denied liability and offered $0.00. After a lengthy trial in the Federal Court the Judge found that the insurance company committed bad faith and ordered the insurance company to pay $8.4 million to our client.

$7.5 Million Judgment

Car vs SUV- Our client a 20-year-old female was driving a car and went through a stop sign. Her car was T-boned by an SUV. Our client sustained multiple fractures, permanent scarring and a traumatic brain injury. We settled her claim against the driver of the SUV for his insurance policy limit and brought a liquor liability claim against the bar that served her alcohol. When the claim could not be settled we filed suit in the Worcester Superior Court. The case resulted in a judgment of $7.5 million.

$1.75 Million – Structured Settlement.

Brain Injury – Passenger v. Driver – An automobile driven by a teenager was speeding, left the roadway and collided with a tree, causing our client, a rear-seat passenger to sustain a head injury. After we filed suit against the teenage driver and his parents, we structured a settlement for our client with a guaranteed payout of 1,750,000.

Full Insurance Policy Limit was Recovered

Wrongful Death – Pedestrian v. Auto – Our client was walking on the side of a roadway and was struck by a drunk driver. Our client, a father of two children, died as a result of the injuries he sustained. A claim was brought against all responsible parties and the case settled out of court for the full amount of the insurance coverages. After settlement we established a Trust to provide for his minor children.

“He made it manageable and was so caring throughout…”

“I honestly couldn’t say more good things about The Law Offices of Bailey and Burke. I was in an accident years ago. It was the first time I had ever been in the situation, and my brother referred me to The Law Offices of Bailey and Burke. Shawn Bailey was my lawyer, and I honestly couldn’t ask for a better lawyer to work with for my case. During such a uncomfortable process, he made it manageable and was so caring throughout. There were times when I wanted to move on with my life, but he demanded that I make sure that my body was taken care of first and foremost, prior to taking the next step of the case. They genuinely care about you not just as a client, but as a person as well. I absolutely feel like I was taken care of for the whole process and have told them they can use me as a reference anytime. Thank you so much, for everything! “
