Personal Injuries in Springfield, MA

Personal injuries are any sort of physical or emotional harm caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing.

While personal injuries may result from an individual’s actions, they can also be caused by corporations that neglected to ensure the safety of their products or warn about their risks.

Common Springfield personal injury cases include: 

• Asbestos Exposure & Mesothelioma: Many companies that made or sold asbestos-containing products knew they could cause mesothelioma and lung cancer, but they hid the risks to keep making money.
• Abuse & Neglect in Nursing Homes: If you suspect your loved one has been abused or neglected at a long-term care facility, we may be able to help you hold those responsible for their suffering accountable.
• Birth Injuries: When a medical professional makes a mistake before, during, or shortly after birth, babies may end up with potentially lifelong injuries like cerebral palsy and Erb’s palsy.
• Dangerous Drugs: Medications like Depo-Provera^® have been linked to serious side effects that drug companies didn’t warn patients about.
• Failure to Warn & Product Liability: Products like talcum powder, the herbicide paraquat, and chemical hair relaxers may cause serious harm — and companies may have failed to warn consumers about the risks.
• Medical Malpractice: Preventable medical errors, like a misdiagnosis or surgical error, can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening injuries.
• Sexual Assault: We can help survivors of abuse hold individuals and the institutions that enabled them accountable.
• Truck & Car Accidents: Crashes are a leading cause of injuries throughout the United States, and many accidents may have been preventable.
• Workplace Injuries: If you were hurt on the job, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation and money from additional legal claims, depending on the situation.
