When picking from the local attorneys in our directory, start with focus. A lawyer who concentrates on personal injury will know the injury claims process better than a general practice. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlements, and whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers that handle claims in the area. Get the contingency terms in writing: what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays case costs. Ask who will personally handle your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar before you sign anything.
What to do after an accident in Framingham
After an accident in Framingham, put safety and health first. Get medical care even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and lost work. Then act promptly: Massachusetts has a filing deadline of 3 years from the date of injury, so delay can cost you the right to recover. A local attorney can review your options.
