Boston Injury Lawyer Provides Dedicated Legal Services
By population, Boston is a middle-tier city of about 660,000 people. Yet, Boston enjoys an outsized reputation as a center of culture, history, learning, sports and economic activity. Scholars come from all over the world to teach and study at Harvard, Tufts, Boston College, Boston University, and a hundred other colleges and universities. Tourists come from everywhere to walk the Freedom Trail. Boston is also home to financial centers, technology companies, many outstanding hospitals and assorted industries. All of this activity makes the city a rich environment for residents and visitors.
Almost 50 percent of Boston residents are under the age of 44, including more than 250,000 university students. This is an active and growing population that faces urban hazards every day. But when injuries result from someone’s negligence, the victim is entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost earnings, and, as is well known, pain and suffering. A personal injury lawyer in Boston at Feinberg & Alban provides highly professional legal representation for a wide range of injury events, including:
- Auto accidents — Although the days of the Big Dig are behind us, Boston still suffers from some of the most congested traffic in the nation. When that congestion includes aggressive, distracted and impaired drivers, serious auto accidents will occur.
- Truck accidents — Commercial trucking is essential to the Bay State economy, but trucking accidents are all too common in Boston, with victims suffering catastrophic injuries and wrongful death.
- Subway and transit accidents — About one-third of Bostonians take public transit for their daily commute, giving Boston the fifth-highest rate of public transit usage in the country. Unfortunately, the city also has a high incidence of subway and transit accidents.
- Pedestrian accidents — Because Boston has more foot commuters than other comparably populated towns, it’s been called the Walking City. But the 13 percent of our population that commutes by foot must cross intersections designed first and foremost for motor vehicle traffic, making pedestrian accidents far too common.
- Bicycle accidents —Bicycling magazine has more than once named Boston one of the worst cities in the United States for cyclists. Still, intrepid bike riders continue to commute at one of the highest rates in the country. When cyclists are injured on busy Boston streets, they need strong legal representation to obtain full compensation.
Among U.S. cities with more than half a million residents, Boston is the third most densely populated. In close quarters, a moment’s negligence can have serious consequences. Fortunately, a dedicated Boston personal injury attorney at Feinberg & Alban is available to help you obtain the compensation you deserve.
Throughout Greater Boston, a personal injury attorney in Boston at Feinberg & Alban PC will pursue your injury claim aggressively. Call 617-644-7875 today to arrange your free initial consultation.
Attorney Robert I. Feinberg
Robert Feinberg has the highest personal injury verdict in Massachusetts over a five year period and he has the highest personal injury settlement in Massachusetts in the last year.
In a landmark victory, a Massachusetts Superior Court jury awarded Robert Feinberg’s client $7.7 million including interest as a result of a boiler explosion, the highest injury verdict in Massachusetts over a five year period, excluding medical malpractice. The victory for the industrial worker was achieved despite years of claims that he was at fault for his accident and thereby entitled to nothing.
As reported in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly in 2019, Mr. Feinberg resolved a construction site accident for $5.35 million dollars. The young construction worker had suffered very serious leg injuries. The defendant, the general contractor, argued that the responsibility for this roofing accident was that of the plaintiff’s employer and not the general contractor. The case successfully resolved after numerous depositions. Mr. Feinberg hired 11 experts, 3 on construction site safety and management, and 8 on damages.
Also, as reported in Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly in 2019, Mr. Feinberg along with Colleen Santora tried a pedestrian/motor vehicle accident in which their client suffered a severe calcaneous fracture.
