Unfortunately, sometimes the attorney/client relationship can break down for a number of reasons. If you are unhappy with your Massachusetts auto accident attorney, you can change attorneys at anytime, and you don't even need a reason.

Whether it be lack of communication, failure of the attorney to move the case forward, or lack of willingness to fight for what is fair with the insurance company, a client may need to take his file to another attorney's office for handling. You are not penalized at all for making the change.

Personal injury claim settlements usually encompass payment for various types of damages suffered. Payments for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, are some of the damages that are compensable. Oftentimes, during a divorce, the issue comes up as to whether a spouse has the right to some or all of the money collected for a personal injury case by another spouse.

Generally, damages allocable to pain and suffering are not divisible during a divorce. However, other damages recovered by the injured spouse as part of a settlement or verdict may be divisible. Questions related to your specific divorce-related issues should be directed to a competent Massachusetts divorce attorney.

Being involved in a personal injury case is hard enough, and when divorce is involved, it becomes even harder. Getting proper representation for both of these legal matters is crucial.

Dog bites occur with alarming frequency in Massachusetts. These
accidents can cause two types of injuries: physical and mental. The
physical injuries can include lacerations, scarring, disfigurement,
fractures, etc. The mental injuries are usually many, but primarily,
trauma is the common mental injury following a dog bite.

Unlike Massachusetts auto accidents and slips and falls, it is not
necessary to show fault in Massachusetts dog bite cases. All you have
to do is prove that you did not in any way tease or bait the dog before
the accident. Assuming you get over that hurdle, you must still find
out who owns the dog. Then, it always helps if the dog owner has
homeowners insurance because that assures that your medical expenses and
lost wages will be compensated, as will your pain and suffering. If
the dog owner does not have homeowners insurance, then you must sue the
owner "personally." If the owner does not have assets, you may have a
hard time getting compensation for your Massachusetts dog bite injuries.

If you were involved in a car crash in Massachusetts, the insurance
company that insures the car you were in at the time of the accident
will pay for your no-fault benefits. Payment for medical bills and lost wages are the two no-fault benefits you are entitled to. No-fault benefits are called Personal Injury Protection benefits in Massachusetts, or PIP. However, before you may collect PIP benefits, you must complete and sign a PIP application that the insurance company sends to you. Also, in order to verify your lost wage claim, the insurance company will require your employer to complete a Lost Wage and Salary verification form before they pay you for lost wages. Before medical bills are paid, the insurance company must be provided with the records and bills so that they can be reviewed.

The insurance company - for the car you were in at the time of the
accident - will pay for up to 75% of your lost wages. Total PIP
payments however will not exceed $8000.00. Therefore, PIP benefits can be exhausted up to $8000 for lost wages, medical bills, or a combination of the two. This is spelled out in M.G.L. c.90, 34M.

Sometimes though, a very serious car accident can lead to devastating financial consequences. It is not unusual for someone in such a position to consult with a Massachusetts bankruptcy attorney. This can be a good step when lost wages and medical bills start to pile-up and the available insurance coverage is insufficient.
