Choosing a Massachusetts Personal Injury Lawyer
If you’ve suffered from the negligence of someone else, you know just how difficult life can be. The last thing you should worry about is if your personal injury lawyer is doing everything they can to help you earn justice for your suffering.
The personal injury lawyers at Steinger, Greene & Feiner have over 10 decades of combined experience handling personal injury cases. In addition to experience, you should look for the following when choosing a personal injury lawyer in Massachusetts:
Expertise
Each case is unique, which is why you need a personal injury lawyer who specializes in your particular case. Your chosen personal injury lawyer should have an expansive knowledge of Massachusetts injury law and experience going to trial for similar cases to yours. Expertise often correlates with successful case results as attorneys can anticipate roadblocks that may arise during the trial and prepare ahead of time to overcome them if needed.
High Success Rate
Would you want to choose a personal injury attorney who has nothing to show for their work? We didn’t think so. You should look for a personal injury lawyer who has won cases for their previous clients to help establish trust and confidence that they will win your case too.
Positive Reviews
A reliable and trustworthy personal injury lawyer will surely have wonderful reviews from previous clients. Even if the outcome wasn’t what the client wanted, you should look for reviews that speak to the attorney’s professionalism, compassion, work ethic, and communication skills portrayed throughout their case.
The Personal Injury Claim Process in Massachusetts
Unfortunately, most accidents that happen are completely avoidable. When an accident occurs, it’s important to figure out who is at fault to prove negligence and fight for the rights of the injured. For most, this is an impossible task. For the personal attorneys at Steinger, Greene & Feiner, we’ve dedicated our careers to fighting for those who have suffered at the ends of someone else’s carelessness.
Steps to Filing a Personal Injury Claim
For so many cases, the best path for recovery is a lawsuit. As most know, filing a lawsuit can be extremely complex and involves rules of court procedure, statute of limitations, and other rules you must follow. Because of this, we recommend working with a Massachusetts attorney you trust. At Steinger, Greene & Feiner, we’re experienced with handling lawsuits and helping injury victims move forward after suffering serious injuries.
Statute of Limitations in Massachusetts
In the state of Massachusetts, there is a statute of limitations on personal injury cases that allows injury victims three years from the date of injury to file their case in court. Most of the time this is enough time to assess and measure your injuries, collect evidence, and file the case. If possible, you should do this before you reach the three-year mark—so reach out to our Massachusetts personal injury lawyers at Steinger, Greene & Feiner today.
The Role of Evidence and Documentation
Evidence and documentation play a crucial role in supporting your case. Depending on how much evidence there is to sift through, your case may drag on to settle. Generally speaking, some cases close quickly, while others with complex details and evidence to go through will oftentimes take longer to reach an agreement and will require a trial.
Common Types of Personal Injury Cases
Every day in the state of Massachusetts, people suffer from avoidable injuries due to the negligence of someone else. We know that these injuries can be life-altering; that’s why we’ve dedicated our careers to fighting to hold others accountable for their actions and help our clients get the compensation they deserve.
We know that receiving monetary compensation can’t always recover the losses some experience, but we believe that monetary redress can often help prepare them for the next chapter in their lives.
Common Types of Personal Injury Cases
We commonly assist in the following types of personal injury cases:
- Car Accidents
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Truck Accidents
- Pedestrian Accidents

Compensation in Personal Injury Cases
Understanding How Compensation is Calculated
Each state has its unique approach to handling damages regarding personal injury claims. Damages are any kind of physical or financial harm or financial loss you experience because of someone else’s negligence, resulting in an injury.
- Economic Damages: Damages that are quantifiable losses such as medical bills, lost wages, and car repairs.
- Non-Economic Damages: Damages that are intangible losses such as pain and suffering, scarring, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Punitive Damages: Punitive damages are only awarded if the wrongdoer’s actions were particularly egregious. These damages do not award financial compensation to the victim but punish the wrongdoer for their actions and deter them from taking similar actions in the future. Punitive damages might be awarded in cases involving a drunk driver or hit-and-run driver.
Some states impose “caps,” on damages in specific case types, such as medical malpractice or “pain and suffering” damages. In Massachusetts, there is a $500,000 cap that applies to non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases only.
If the injured party can prove substantial or permanent loss or impairment of a bodily function, significant disfigurement, or other special circumstances of medical treatment that would determine the cap is unjust, the cap may not apply.
The Concept of Comparative Negligence in Massachusetts
The comparative negligence law is utilized in all personal injury cases in Massachusetts. This law assesses the level of fault for all parties involved in the claim. According to this doctrine, the potential damages awarded to the plaintiff are diminished in proportion to their degree of fault.
A plaintiff can receive compensation for their injuries as long as they can prove their fault in the accident is less than 51%. If their fault percentage exceeds 50%, they will be ineligible for recovery. If the degree of negligence is not clear, it can be difficult to apply the comparative negligence doctrine. In the case that a jury decides that the plaintiff is predominately at fault, recovery may be denied completely.
Why Choose a Massachusetts Personal Injury Attorney
Navigating Massachusetts’s injury laws alone can be challenging, and you shouldn’t have to do it alone. That’s why our dedicated team at Steinger, Greene & Feiner is committed to providing you with a stress-free experience and helping you receive the best results possible.

How a Personal Injury Attorney Can Maximize Your Compensation
When you or a loved one are involved in a devastating accident, it can often be traced back to the carelessness of another person. In these situations, hiring an expert personal injury attorney is imperative. At Steinger, Green & Feiner, we help our clients pursue the maximum compensation for their injuries.
We begin by conducting a thorough investigation of the facts and collection of evidence. We utilize evidence to show that the defendant was negligent, which means that there is proof to show that they failed to use reasonable care, which caused an injury to the plaintiff (you). Each case is carefully prepared to go to trial, even if we can settle outside of court.
The Attorney’s Role in Negotiating With Insurance Companies
Our team of attorneys plays an important role in negotiating with insurance companies. We know the ins and outs of the law and what they need to be held responsible for, so we’ll make sure they don’t take advantage of you. We’ll handle the complex insurance policy details and how they relate to your specific case to determine the amount of compensation that is available to you.
