What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in Somerville Cost?
Most personal injury lawyers in Massachusetts work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. Typical fees range from 33% to 40% of the settlement or court award. Some cases may also require upfront costs for filing fees or expert witnesses, but these are often deducted from the final recovery. This is general information, not legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, you generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This time limit applies to most personal injury claims, including car accidents and slip and fall cases. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation.
Do I need a lawyer for a minor injury in Somerville?
Even for minor injuries, consulting a lawyer can help you understand your rights. Massachusetts has a no-fault car insurance system, which may limit your ability to sue unless your injuries meet a serious threshold. A lawyer can evaluate whether your case qualifies for a claim beyond no-fault benefits.
What types of damages can I recover in a Somerville personal injury case?
You can recover economic damages like medical expenses and lost income, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. In Massachusetts, there is no cap on most personal injury damages, but punitive damages are rarely awarded. Your lawyer can help calculate a fair value for your claim.
