I met Attorney Ranallo in 2012 and unlike most attorneys (sorry for my negative outlook, but I speak from experience) he kept in touch with me and truly cared about the outcome of my claim. He always kept the focus on what was best for me and my family and listened. He is now a friend and I would recommend him to anyone needing good representation in a claim. Thank you for all the time and support Attorney Ranallo.

FAQ
What is Personal Injury?
Personal injury is defined as harm to a person's body, mind, or emotions caused by another's negligence or intentional misconduct. This includes physical injuries from car accidents, emotional distress from nursing home abuse, or mental harm from wrongful deaths.
How Long Do I Have To File A Personal Injury Lawsuit In Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally three years from the date of injury, as per Massachusetts Personal Injury Laws and Statutes of Limitations. This deadline ensures claims are filed while evidence is fresh, protecting both parties. Exceptions may apply, such as for minors or cases involving fraud, but the standard is three years, emphasizing the need for prompt action.
