Experience And Advocacy In Personal Injury Law
At The Law Offices of Bailey & Burke, our experienced Massachusetts attorneys have two goals when it comes to handling personal injury cases:
Our first goal: To get injury victims as much compensation as possible. We want to make sure they get enough money to cover all their current and future medical bills, as well as lost wages and other costs. We have a success rate of 99.6 percent in achieving this goal.
Our second goal: To see that injury victims get the best medical care available. Because we handle serious injuries, many of our clients will face a lifetime of problems because of one act of negligence. We believe that the right medical care can make dealing with those problems significantly easier, and making our clients’ lives easier; this is why we are here.

Why is it important to seek medical attention immediately after an accident?
Early medical attention can be crucial for your health. A prompt examination by a physician can prevent unexpected complications with obvious injuries and detect hidden injuries, including those to internal organs, which could turn deadly. Timely intervention also helps create a clear connection between the accident and your injuries, as well as proof of the severity of your condition, which is critical support for an insurance claim or subsequent lawsuit.
How long does the legal process take after filing a personal injury claim?
Every claim is different. Once negotiations have begun with the defendant or defendants in a case, it can take months or years for the parties involved to reach a settlement or for the case to go to trial. The length of time any individual claim will take to resolve largely depends on the severity of your injuries, the complexity of your case, the determination of the other party to avoid responsibility and the skill of your attorney. Our lawyers will never settle unless it is to your advantage.
How is negligence or recklessness proven?
Evidence plays a critical role in proving negligence or recklessness in a personal injury case. An experienced attorney will use such things as police reports, photographs of the scene and your injuries, camera footage, eyewitness statements and expert testimony, when needed, to support your claim.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Massachusetts, claims for personal injury claims must generally be brought within three years of the date of the accident. Otherwise, you forfeit your right to make a claim forever.
