I first met with Jay a few months ago seeking advice following a false auto insurance claim filed against my daughter. Even though he typically does not deal with such cases, he took a special interest and has been such an immense help these past few months. He is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and goes about his work with an unmatched tenacity. It is clear that he is passionate about his work, he remembers the little details and would often follow up on things we chatted about, even if unrelated to our case. Such an attorney is hard to come by! We just won our case and it would not have been possible without his help. Highly recommend!

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.



  • What Should I Do After An Accident or Injury in MA?

    1. Ensure safety and seek medical attention immediately, even for minor injuries.
    2. Report the accident to Franklin Police, especially if there are injuries or significant damage.
    3. Gather evidence, such as photos of the scene, witness contacts, and police reports.
    4. Notify your insurance company to initiate claims, and document all interactions.
    5. Consult a personal injury lawyer, like Jason Ranallo, to navigate rights and compensation options.

  • What Is The Process After I Hire A Personal Injury Attorney?

    1. Initial Consultation and Case Evaluation: The attorney assesses case details, discussing potential outcomes and strategy.
    2. Investigation and Evidence Gathering: The attorney collects evidence, including medical records, witness statements, and accident reports, to build a strong case.
    3. Negotiation with Insurance Companies or Opposing Party: The attorney negotiates settlements, aiming for fair compensation without litigation.
    4. Filing a Lawsuit if Necessary: If negotiations fail, the attorney files a lawsuit, initiating formal legal proceedings.
    5. Trial and Litigation: If the case goes to court, the attorney represents the client, presenting evidence and arguing the case.
    6. Settlement or Verdict and Collection of Compensation: The attorney ensures collection of awarded compensation, whether through settlement or court verdict.

  • What Common Mistakes Should I Avoid After An Accident?

    1. Not Seeking Medical Attention Immediately: Delaying care can worsen injuries and weaken claims, as symptoms like whiplash may appear later.
    2. Admitting Fault or Making Incriminating Statements: Casual admissions can be used against you, so limit discussions to facts with police and insurers.
    3. Not Reporting the Accident to Police: Failing to report, especially for injuries or damage, can hinder legal and insurance processes.
    4. Not Gathering Evidence or Witness Information: Missing photos, witness contacts, or police reports can leave gaps in your case.
    5. Accepting a Quick Settlement Without Understanding Implications: Early settlements may undervalue claims, so consult a lawyer first.
    6. Not Consulting with a Lawyer: Handling claims alone can lead to missed opportunities for full compensation.

  • What Kind of Damages Can Be Recovered from an Accident?

    Economic Damages

    Medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, out-of-pocket costs


    Non-Economic Damages

    Pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment, loss of consortium
