Why It Matters

Time Is of the Essence

Have you or a loved one been injured in a car accident or any other type of accident? You need an experienced personal injury attorney on your side — one who will educate you on your rights and then fight to get you the compensation you deserve.

Time is of the essence. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and insurance companies move quickly to limit their liability. Acting fast is imperative to preserve your rights — and an experienced attorney is the right person to help.

At The Law Offices of Venessa Masterson & Associates, PLLC, our client's best interest is our #1 priority. We provide quality and aggressive representation and have successfully recovered thousands of dollars settling personal injury claims.

What to Do After an Accident

1. Get Medical Attention

Seek care for everyone injured — even if you feel fine. Document your injuries, the scene, and what happened. Never apologize or take the blame at the scene; it can be used against you later.

2. Contact an Attorney

If someone else's negligence caused the injury, call us as soon as possible. We immediately begin building your case, identifying liable parties, and preserving evidence before it disappears.

3. Identify Liable Parties

Liability is rarely simple. In a truck crash it might be the driver, the trucking company, a manufacturer, or a municipality. We investigate every angle so no responsible party is missed.

4. Pursue Full Compensation

Compensation can include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and more. We pursue every category of damages your case supports — often discovering more as the investigation unfolds.

Types of Compensation You May Pursue
  • Past and future medical bills
  • Lost earnings and reduced earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and mental anguish
  • Property damage and out-of-pocket costs
  • Loss of consortium for spouses and family
  • Punitive damages in cases of gross negligence

Frequently Asked

Personal Injury Questions

Honest answers from an attorney who fights insurers every day.

What does it cost to hire your firm for a personal injury case?

Nothing up front. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency-fee basis — you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. We discuss the exact percentage in a clear engagement letter at your free consultation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts generally allows three years from the date of injury for personal injury claims, but some claims (like those against government entities) have much shorter deadlines. Time is critical — call us immediately to protect your rights.

Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?

No — not before talking to us. Insurance adjusters are trained to ask questions designed to minimize or deny your claim. Recorded statements can be used against you. Let us handle all communications with insurers.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

You may still recover compensation. Massachusetts uses a modified comparative-negligence rule: as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, you can recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault.

What kinds of compensation can I recover?

Depending on your case, compensation may include past and future medical bills, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium, property damage, and in some cases punitive damages.

Do I need to go to court?

Most personal injury cases settle without a trial. We negotiate aggressively with insurers and only proceed to court when settlement offers don't reflect the true value of your case. Either way, we prepare every case as if it will be tried.

What if my loved one died in an accident?

Surviving family members may be able to bring a wrongful death claim for funeral expenses, lost financial support, loss of companionship, and the conscious pain and suffering of the deceased. We handle these cases with the care they deserve.
