Providing A Wide Variety Of Personal Injury Representation

At The Law Offices of Joseph J. Cariglia, P.C., our attorneys have more than 100 years of combined experience handling injury-related matters. We represent clients in Worcester and throughout central Massachusetts. Personal injury cases we handle include:

  • Car and other vehicle accidents: Whether it’s a minor collision or a fatal crash, we help injured clients and surviving family members pursue the compensation and justice they deserve after an accident. We also advocate for passengers injured in Lyft or Uber accidents, as well as collisions involving multiple cars, trucks, motorcycles and buses. As we have extensive knowledge regarding how insurance companies approach these cases, we provide you with comprehensive guidance on insurance issues.
  • Work-related accidents: If injured on the job, our firm assists in seeking the workers’ compensation benefits to which you are entitled. We handle all workplace injury cases, including those stemming from construction accidents, ladder collapses and repetitive motion injuries.
  • Nursing home negligence: These cases can include bedsores, malnutrition/dehydration and falls, as well as death due to injury. We fight to protect nursing home residents from any nursing home abuse and neglect.
  • Defective products: Any defect in a product may render it dangerous. We need to hold a manufacturer responsible in a product liability claim when such defects lead to injuries to you or a loved one.
  • Premises liability: Premises liability cases, including those that involve slip-and-falls and pet-related incidents, arise when injuries occur on someone else’s property. A property owner who knows about the dangerous condition but does nothing about it also may be liable.
  • Catastrophic injuries and wrongful death cases: Any accident can cause a fatality or devastating injuries. We handle cases involving all types of injuries, including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones and amputations. Besides injured parties, we also represent loved ones in wrongful death cases so that they can receive compensation for their loss.

Whether it is a minor collision or a life-changing catastrophic event, we are committed to securing justice. Our seasoned attorneys have helped clients secure millions of dollars in compensation for their damages, and they are prepared to work tirelessly for the positive outcome you deserve.

Answering Your Questions About Personal Injury Claims

When you are navigating the aftermath of an injury, you likely have many practical questions about the legal process. Here are answers to some questions our clients ask most often.

Until when can you file a personal injury claim in Massachusetts?

You generally have three years from the day of the accident or injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Massachusetts. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations. While three years may sound like a long time, investigating an accident, gathering critical evidence and preparing a strong case takes considerable time. Delaying action can harm your ability to recover compensation, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as you are able to.

Why should you hire an attorney to pursue your injury claim if you feel the insurance company’s settlement offer is enough for your medical bills?

Insurance companies have a legal duty to make prompt, fair and equitable settlement offers when it is clear that the at-fault party is liable. However, their initial offer may be low, and not enough to account for the damages beyond your immediate medical bills. This includes any future treatment or therapy, wages you’ve lost while in recovery and unable to work, as well as compensation for your pain and suffering.

Our experienced personal injury attorneys can compel the insurer to honor their full legal obligation. We will evaluate your claim and negotiate a settlement that addresses all of your damages.

How long does a personal injury lawsuit take and what do you do about your bills until it’s settled?

The length of a personal injury claim varies greatly. Many cases resolve through negotiation and settlement in a matter of months, while complex cases that require a trial may take longer. Our attorneys move quickly to investigate and file your claim to prevent delays. In the meantime, we can help you explore your options with your available insurance coverage, such as your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) or health insurance.
