Every year, tens of thousands of car accidents occur on Massachusetts roads, leaving victims with devastating injuries, mounting medical bills, and lost wages. Insurance companies move fast after an accident — not to help you, but to minimize what they pay. At Altman Nussbaum Shunnarah Trial Attorneys, we move faster. Our experienced car accident lawyers have recovered over $800 million for injured clients across Massachusetts, and we are prepared to fight for every dollar you deserve.
Massachusetts follows a no-fault insurance system, which means your own insurance company covers your initial medical expenses through Personal Injury Protection (PIP). But PIP only covers up to $8,000 — a fraction of what serious injuries actually cost. When your injuries exceed that threshold, or when you suffer a permanent disfigurement, fracture, or other serious injury, you have the right to file a claim against the at-fault driver. Insurance companies know this, and they will do everything possible to argue your injuries are not serious enough to qualify. That is why you need an experienced attorney who understands Massachusetts car accident law and knows how to prove the full extent of your damages. Our team investigates every detail: police reports, witness statements, medical records, accident reconstruction data, and more. We build cases that insurance companies cannot ignore.
Car accidents cause a wide range of injuries, from whiplash and soft tissue damage to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and internal organ damage. Many of these injuries do not present symptoms immediately, which is why it is critical to seek medical attention right away after any collision. Delayed treatment not only puts your health at risk — it gives the insurance company ammunition to argue your injuries were not caused by the accident. We work with medical experts who can document the full scope of your injuries and project your future care needs, ensuring that no cost goes unaccounted for in your claim.
If you have been injured in a car accident due to someone else's negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, loss of consortium, and rehabilitation and therapy costs. Massachusetts does not cap damages in most personal injury cases, which means there is no artificial limit on what you can recover. Our attorneys fight to ensure every category of damage is fully valued and presented to the insurance company or jury.
The steps you take immediately after a car accident can significantly impact the value of your claim. First, call 911 and report the accident — a police report is critical evidence. Seek medical attention, even if you feel fine. Exchange information with the other driver but do not admit fault or apologize. Document the scene with photos and videos if possible. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney. Contact Altman Nussbaum Shunnarah as soon as possible. The sooner we are involved, the better we can preserve evidence and protect your rights.
In Massachusetts, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. While this may seem like a long time, critical evidence can disappear quickly — surveillance footage is overwritten, witnesses forget details, and physical evidence is lost. Starting your case early gives your legal team the best chance of building an airtight claim. Waiting too long could mean losing your right to compensation entirely.
At Altman Nussbaum Shunnarah, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront and we only get paid if we win your case. There is zero financial risk to you.
Massachusetts requires all drivers to carry uninsured motorist coverage. If the at-fault driver is uninsured, your own policy may cover your damages. We can help you navigate this process and maximize your recovery.
Every case is different. Some cases settle in a few months, while more complex cases involving severe injuries or disputed liability can take a year or more. We never rush a settlement — we fight until we get you the full amount you deserve.
Almost never. The first offer from an insurance company is almost always significantly lower than what your case is worth. They are hoping you will accept before you understand the full value of your claim. Let us evaluate your case before you agree to anything.
