Compensation for a Fisherman Injured in a Car Crash
Matt was driving near his home in Massachusetts, a route he took several times a day to check the fishing conditions at a nearby beach. Suddenly, another driver ran a stop sign and slammed into the side of his car. Despite trying to swerve, there was no avoiding it.
Matt’s car ended up on someone's front lawn, completely totaled. While at first he felt okay, within a day or two, he began experiencing severe back pain. Matt spent about 9 weeks in physical therapy, attending twice a week during his lunch break, so he wouldn't miss work.
Matt had seen Sokolove Law commercials and reached out to the firm about a week after the accident. The insurance company had already made him an offer, which he turned down. He wanted to understand what he might actually be entitled to.
"My experience working with the legal team at Sokolove Law was excellent. It was super simple. They were super professional, and everything was laid out very clearly. They did a lot of work to get that settlement, and I'm really happy that I was able to find them."
– Matt, Massachusetts Car Accident Client
After reviewing the case, his car accident attorneys determined the insurer's offer didn’t fully reflect the long-term impact of his back injury. While Matt initially expected relatively little compensation, he was pleasantly surprised by the outcome.
Matt still drives more cautiously near intersections. But financially and legally, he has no regrets — and he encourages anyone who's been in an accident, even one that seems minor, to make the call.
My name is Matt, and I contacted Sokolove Law after getting in a car accident. I'm a big fisherman, I love to hunt, and I'm always exploring stuff in this area. I go to this beach parking lot regularly to check to see if there are any fish biting. It's a drive I take multiple times a day. It's right down the street. I was just driving along, I was minding my own business, driving the speed limit, and all of a sudden someone was just driving into the side of my car and crashing into it. My car was completely totaled. I ended up on somebody's front yard.
Probably a day or two later, I started having some really, really bad back cramps, which is something that I've never in my life experienced. They were really really bad — I actually fell over because my whole back just seized up. It was just a pain I had never felt before. I probably had to go to physical therapy for somewhere between eight and nine weeks. Once I started having to go to physical therapy and once I started to get medical treatment for this, it felt like that shouldn't be something I have to pay for. It wasn’t my fault. It was someone else’s fault. Somebody was irresponsible and crashed into me. That’s when I started thinking about Sokolove Law.
I reached out to the law firm one week after the accident. The reason I did that was I was interested to see how much money would be available for a crash like this. I've never done anything accident-lawsuit-related in my life until now, and I was very surprised at how easy things were. Honestly, it was just so professionally done. That’s how I would describe it. My experience working with the legal team at Sokolove Law was excellent. It was super simple. They were super professional. Everything was laid out very clearly, and there was no confusion about what needed to be done at all. They did a lot of work to get that settlement done, and I’m really happy that I was able to find them, contact them, and get things done.
When the case was settled, I felt very relieved. I felt very happy, actually, because things were done, the check was there, and I didn’t have to deal with any of this anymore. I wish that my car didn’t get totaled, but I ended up getting a new car out of it, and, you know, everything’s going well now. I would recommend other people contact a firm like Sokolove Law after a car accident because injuries from car accidents aren’t always immediately apparent. It could be something that flares up later, like in my case. My back hurt more and more over the following days after the accident. I just feel like not enough people know what their options are when they get into a crash. You don’t have to just call the insurance company. You can talk to an attorney. It doesn’t cost you any money to speak to an attorney at all. It’s completely free to speak to them. I don’t see why you wouldn’t do it if you’re injured in a car accident. It’s a very simple process, and you can get money out of it.
Fighting for a Kindergarten Teacher Hurt in a Car Accident
Alexandra, a kindergarten teacher in the Boston area, was on her way to work early one morning when her car was rear-ended at a complete stop on a highway exit ramp. The other driver had no license and couldn't speak English well, so she contacted the police to confirm his license number and insurance.
Within an hour, the pain arrived. What started as mild rib and back discomfort quickly intensified over the following days, and she went to the ER. Later, her primary care doctor suspected a torn ligament in her ribs, which a physical therapist confirmed.
"My car accident was not a major car accident. I just wanted to let people know that no matter what kind of accident you're in, you can always pursue legal action."
– Alexandra, Massachusetts Car Accident Victim
Alexandra attended physical therapy 3 times a week for 8 weeks. As a teaching assistant who was paid by the hour, every appointment cost her twice: the treatment itself and the wages she wasn't earning while she was there.
After a few weeks, Alexandra reached out to Sokolove Law. Within 24 to 48 hours, a car accident attorney called her. His first questions were about how she was feeling, not the case. The matter resolved in about 3-4 months — easier and faster than she'd expected.
My name is Alexandra. I am a teacher in the Boston area, and I was in a car accident in 2021. I was on my way to work. I took an exit and was at a ramp at a complete stop when I got rear-ended. I pulled over, followed the typical accident protocol, and when I was greeted by the other driver, he didn't speak English very well. The only thing he had on him was an insurance card, no license.
Initially, I didn't contact the police because the accident didn't seem that bad. But when I realized he didn't have a license and couldn't provide me with any information verbally, I did contact the police. They were able to give me his license number and confirm that the insurance card he gave me was valid.
I would say probably within an hour, after the initial shock wore off, I started feeling some pain in my ribs and back. I went to the ER, and they just told me to take some ibuprofen. After a couple of days, the pain was still there, so I decided to contact my primary care doctor. Based on her assessment, she felt I had torn ligaments in my ribs and referred me to physical therapy. I had to go to physical therapy three times a week for about eight weeks.
At the time, I was paid hourly. Every time I had to go to physical therapy or a doctor's appointment for a follow-up, I wasn't getting paid for that time. So, not only was I in pain, but I was also losing income. Because I'm a teacher, my days are very hectic. I work typically from 7:30 to 3:30, and working with five- and six-year-old kids, I'm constantly on my feet—up and down. It did impact my workday because there were times when I needed to be standing in front of the class to teach a lesson, and I couldn't stand because of the pain.
I decided to file a lawsuit after the accident because I had always seen commercials and advertisements on TV and radio about personal injury attorneys saying, "If you're in a car accident, call us." I thought, why not? I reached out to Sokolove Law. I decided to file a lawsuit because of the amount of time I had spent at doctors' offices and the frequent, long physical therapy sessions.
When I hired a local attorney, I felt they would best understand not only my situation but also the location of the accident and help me navigate the process, from my initial intake, being in the hospital and ER, doctor's appointments, to physical therapy. They knew everything in the area, which gave me a sense of comfort.
My experience working with Sokolove Law and my attorney was amazing. It was really quick. When I first talked to the attorney, the thing that stood out to me was that his first few questions were about how I was feeling and doing. He genuinely cared about my recovery more than anything and was trying to help me make up the income I wasn't receiving.
My legal team constantly reached out to make sure I was okay and doing better, with no strings attached. That made me feel comforted and like they genuinely cared about me. I'm happy I trusted my instinct and called because it ultimately worked out for me.
I would definitely say that if anyone is thinking about pursuing a car accident claim, at least call and see where it goes. If you've been injured, contact Sokolove Law today.
Securing Justice for a Greyhound Bus Crash Victim
One December, Shanae boarded a late-night Greyhound bus in Delaware, heading to New York to pick up Christmas gifts for her family. While she was standing in line for the restroom, the driver attempted a U-turn — a maneuver she recognized as out of the ordinary, having taken that route many times.
The bus was struck by another vehicle, which threw Shanae forward into the seat in front of her. The other car flipped 6 times. The driver survived, but Shanae later learned they were paralyzed and had no memory of the crash.
Shanae went to the ER with head, neck, back, shoulder, and knee pain. Over the following months, it became clear her injuries were serious — but her first attorney wasn't licensed in Delaware and failed to connect her with someone who was.
For nearly 2 years, she received inadequate care while the statute of limitations or deadline to file a claim crept closer. He eventually told her to drop the case entirely. She almost did. Then, Shanae found Sokolove Law, with only months left to act.
"Calling Sokolove Law was the best decision I made. Don't be afraid to pick up that phone. You have nothing to lose."
– Shanae, Delaware Coach Bus Accident Victim
Almost immediately, she was connected with experienced legal help and the right medical specialists. Further testing revealed bone-on-bone knee damage and serious spinal injuries that required multiple surgeries.
Her commercial vehicle accident lawyer fought Greyhound through years of litigation, countering arguments that her injuries were age-related rather than caused by the crash. Ultimately, she got the compensation she needed and deserved.

Yes. An auto accident attorney can help you understand your rights early on, guide you on what to document, and protect your ability to pursue compensation if your condition develops into something more serious.
Even a minor car accident can cause injuries. Many car accident injuries may not fully appear until hours or even days after a crash, including soft tissue damage, whiplash, rib injuries, and back problems.

Do I need to go to court to get a car accident settlement?
Most clients never have to set foot in court in order to receive compensation from a car accident settlement. The claims we handle are resolved through settlement negotiations between your attorney and the at-fault driver's insurance company.
While every case is different, having an experienced legal team can often lead to a resolution without the need for a trial. However, our attorneys are always prepared to go to court and fight for compensation from a verdict if a settlement is unable to be reached.
How much does it cost to work with a car crash lawyer?
At Sokolove Law, there are no upfront costs or hourly fees to work with our car crash lawyers. We operate on a contingency-fee basis, which means you pay nothing unless compensation is secured on your behalf.
As our car accident client Matt put it, "It doesn't cost you any money to speak to the attorney at all. It's completely free."
What if the insurance company already made me an offer?
You are not obligated to accept a settlement offer from an insurance company. In many cases, early settlement offers don’t fully account for medical bills, lost wages, future care, or pain and suffering.
Before accepting any offer, it's worth having a car crash attorney review the details of your case and determine whether the proposed settlement reflects the true value of your claim.
How long does a car accident case typically take?
The timeline for a car accident case depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the complexity of the evidence, whether liability is disputed, and the willingness of the insurance company to negotiate.
Some claims can be resolved in a matter of months, while others may take a year or longer, particularly those involving commercial vehicles, catastrophic injuries, or multiple parties. Your attorney can evaluate the details of your case and provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific circumstances.
