Auto Accidents

Helping Car Crash Victims Recover and Rebuild

A split-second car crash can change your life. In the aftermath of an auto accident, you may be facing painful injuries, growing medical bills, and an uncooperative insurance company. You don’t have to go through it alone. We are here to handle the legal and insurance hassles so you can focus on healing.



Our firm has extensive experience with motor vehicle accident cases of all kinds – from fender-benders on quiet streets to multi-car highway collisions. We know how to investigate accidents thoroughly, gathering police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and expert analyses when needed to piece together what happened. Our goal is to prove clearly that the other driver (or another party) was at fault due to negligence – whether they were texting and driving, speeding, intoxicated, or simply careless.

How We Fight for Maximum Compensation

And Guide You Through the Process

Once liability is established, Attorney Michael Kaplan fights aggressively to get you full and fair compensation. This includes money for your hospital and doctor bills, rehabilitation costs, lost wages if you’ve missed work, and compensation for your pain, suffering, and the impact on your daily life. If the insurance company tries to lowball your claim or deny responsibility, we won’t hesitate to push back. Mike is a seasoned trial attorney who isn’t afraid to take a case to court if that’s what it takes to get justice. That tenacity often convinces insurers to offer a fair settlement rather than face us at trial.



We also understand that a car accident isn’t just a legal case – it’s a personal ordeal. You might feel anxious and confused about the claims process or unsure where to turn for help. We pride ourselves on providing compassionate guidance. When you have questions about repairs, medical bills, or any aspect of your case, we encourage you to call. We’ll walk you through every step, from getting your vehicle damage appraised to negotiating medical liens, in plain language. No legal jargon, no runaround – just straight answers and a roadmap to resolution.

Common Types of Auto Accident Claims & What They Involve

Rear-End Collisions


These are among the most common car accidents. Typically, the driver who rear-ended another vehicle is at fault. Injuries like whiplash and back pain are frequent, and liability is often straightforward—but insurance companies may still push back on settlement amounts.

T-Bone & Side-Impact Crashes


Side-impact collisions often happen at intersections and can cause serious injuries, especially to occupants on the struck side of the car. These crashes can lead to complex liability questions, requiring careful investigation into right-of-way, traffic signals, and witness testimony.

Head-On Collisions


Head-on crashes are severe and often result in life-altering injuries or fatalities. These cases usually involve high damages and may include claims for extensive medical care, lost earning capacity, and long-term disability.

Multi-Vehicle Pileups


Accidents involving several vehicles—often on highways—can be complicated, with multiple parties sharing fault. Determining liability requires analyzing traffic reports, video evidence, and insurance coverages from all drivers involved.

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Claims


When the at-fault driver doesn’t have enough insurance (or none at all), you may need to file a claim under your own policy’s uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. These claims can still involve disputes over damages and settlement offers, making legal representation valuable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Accidents

Start with Clarity, Not Confusion

  • How much does it cost to hire you for my car accident case?

    Nothing upfront. Your initial consultation is free, and if we take your case, we work on a contingency fee. That means you pay no attorney fees unless and until we win compensation for you. Our fee is a percentage of the settlement or verdict, agreed upon in advance. This way, anyone can afford quality legal representation – and you know we’re motivated to maximize your recovery.

  • The insurance adjuster is urging me to settle quickly. Should I?

    Be cautious. Insurance companies often pressure accident victims to settle fast – and for less than the claim is worth. It’s usually best not to sign anything or give a recorded statement before speaking with an attorney. We can evaluate any offer and advise if it’s fair. Often, once your injuries are fully understood and all costs are tallied, your case may merit far more. We will handle communications with the insurer to prevent you from being taken advantage of.

  • What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

    Even if you suspect you were partly to blame, do not assume you can’t recover damages. Massachusetts follows a comparative negligence rule – as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, you can still recover compensation (though your award would be reduced by your percentage of fault). We will investigate and present evidence to counter any claims that you were responsible. Let us determine fault after gathering the facts.

Every auto accident case is unique. We’re here to answer all of your questions and give you the personal attention you deserve during this challenging time.
