When picking from the local attorneys in our directory, start with focus: look for a lawyer whose practice centers on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers treat that differently. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers you may deal with. Get the contingency terms in writing, including costs and how the fee is calculated. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar before you commit.
What to do after an accident in Marlborough

Keep records of treatment, bills, and time missed from work. Massachusetts has a filing deadline of 3 years from the date of injury, so acting promptly matters.
