Motor Vehicle Accidents

What you need to know about auto accident claims

It is important to preserve evidence, such as:

  • Copies of medical bills and treatment records
  • Photographs of the accident scene and damage to your vehicle and that of the other driver
  • Your own recollections of the accident
  • Names and addresses of any witnesses that I can contact
  • The police report, if available
  • Damaged property, including clothing

Do not admit any fault and do not accept any offers from the insurance company until you talk to an accident attorney. Insurance companies are not on your side. They are in the business to make money and often intentionally low-ball your claim. That's why having an experienced Boston car accident attorney on your side is critical to your case. I know how to negotiate with insurance companies to get you the best possible settlement on your claim, or if settlement is not in your best interest, I am fully prepared to take your case to court to get you your full and fair compensation either by judgment or jury verdict.

As a Boston auto accident lawyer have been handling car accident injury cases since 1993. I have experience helping injury victims throughout the Boston area and Massachusetts get their full and fair compensation for damages.

When we meet, we will go over all the details of your accident and the documentation we'll need to file your claim. You are in good hands with the law office of John J. Sheehan.

What you need to know about trucking accident claims

In a truck accident claim, the driver, the trucking company and the truck manufacturer may be held liable for damages. Trucking accidents typically require in-depth investigations that consider:

  • The truck driver's actions and responsibilities
  • The driver's credentials, training and physical and mental state
  • Truck maintenance
  • The load
  • Inspection and testing according to federal standards

As your Boston truck accident attorney, I apply my experience to conduct a thorough investigation on your behalf. I will examine:

  • Trucking logs
  • Any witness statements and observations
  • The driver's communications record, such as use of his cell phone
  • The driver's personnel, driving, training and safety records
  • The trucking company's communications record
  • The trucking company's safety record

I advise you on what you can expect, what evidence and documentation you need to have, and your next steps. I stand by your side every step of the way.

What you need to know about motorcycle accident claims
