An Aggressive Personal Injury Attorney in Boston, Worcester, Springfield and Throughout Massachusetts Will Protect Your Rights

When someone has caused harm to you or your property, they are liable—or responsible—for compensating you for the damages.

Negligence is the failure to use reasonable care to avoid a foreseeable harm to a person or property. Sometimes, a person can be found to be legally negligent without meaning to cause harm. The law recognizes both intentional and non-intentional negligence.

Acts of negligence include:

• Auto accidents
• Truck accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Slip and fall accidents
• Nursing home abuse and negligence
• Dangerous products
• Defective medical equipment
• Harmful drugs

In a case, there are a few different defenses for negligence. These determine the amount of damages that you can be awarded for negligence to personal property.

• Contributory negligence is the claim that the injured person (the plaintiff) did not take enough care for his or her own safety, which contributed to his or her injuries.
• Comparative negligence takes into account the percentage of the plaintiff's own fault in his or her injuries to determine a percentage of the compensation that the plaintiff will receive in the case.
• Limited comparative negligence requires that the plaintiff be no more than 50% at fault for his or her own injury.
