Cases We Handle
At Georges Cote Law, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases, ensuring our clients receive the legal representation they need, no matter the circumstances of their injury. Some of the most common cases we handle include:
Car Accidents
Car accidents are one of the leading causes of personal injury in Massachusetts. Whether caused by distracted driving, speeding, or reckless behavior, victims of car accidents often face serious injuries and mounting medical bills. Our team is skilled at negotiating with insurance companies and pursuing lawsuits when necessary to recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on the road, and accidents involving motorcycles often result in severe injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident due to another driver’s negligence, we can help you fight for your rightful compensation.
Truck Accidents
Collisions involving large commercial trucks can be catastrophic. Given their massive size and weight, trucks can cause devastating injuries or even fatalities. Truck accident cases can be complex, often involving multiple liable parties. Georges Cote Law has extensive experience handling truck accident claims and will work to hold negligent truck drivers and trucking companies accountable.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians have little protection in the event of an accident, often leading to severe or life-threatening injuries. Whether due to a negligent driver, poorly maintained roads, or other hazards, pedestrian accident victims deserve strong legal representation to seek justice and fair compensation.
Slips and Falls
Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe premises. If you’ve suffered a slip and fall due to hazardous conditions—such as wet floors, poor lighting, or broken sidewalks—you may have a premises liability case. Our team will investigate the incident and work to recover the compensation you deserve.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. Wrongful death claims allow surviving family members to seek compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and emotional suffering. At Georges Cote Law, we provide compassionate yet aggressive representation to help families obtain justice for their loss.
Massachusetts Personal Injury Laws
Understanding Massachusetts personal injury laws is crucial for anyone seeking compensation. Here are some key points to be aware of:
Statute of Limitations
Massachusetts law imposes a strict statute of limitations on personal injury cases. Victims generally have three years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation.
Comparative Negligence Rule
Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means that if you are found to be partially at fault for your injury, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are more than 50% responsible, you may be barred from recovering damages.
No-Fault Car Insurance
Massachusetts operates under a no-fault insurance system for car accidents. This means that your own insurance company will cover medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the accident. However, if your injuries exceed certain thresholds, you may be able to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver.
Compensation from a Personal Injury Lawsuit
When you file a personal injury claim, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:
- Medical Expenses – This includes compensation for past, current, and future medical bills related to your injury, such as hospital visits, surgeries, physical therapy, and medications.
- Lost Wages – If your injury prevents you from working, you can recover compensation for lost income, including wages you have already lost and potential future earnings.
- Pain and Suffering – Injuries often cause more than just financial hardship—they also result in physical pain and emotional distress. Compensation for pain and suffering considers the severity and duration of your injury’s impact on your life.
- Property Damage – If your personal property (such as a vehicle) was damaged in the accident, you may be entitled to compensation for repairs or replacement.
- Punitive Damages – In cases where the at-fault party’s behavior was especially reckless or egregious, the court may award punitive damages as a way to punish the defendant and deter similar misconduct in the future.
