How Gavagan Law Builds Serious Injury Claims
Strong personal injury cases are built through preparation, evidence, and strategy. Gavagan Law develops each claim by focusing on the facts that prove liability, the insurance coverage available, the injuries, medical and financial harm, and the strategy needed to pursue full compensation.
01
Evidence & Liability
A serious injury claim starts with proof. Gavagan Law reviews accident reports, photographs, video footage, witness information, incident reports, property records, medical records, and other evidence needed to show how the injury happened and who may be legally responsible.
02
Insurance & Recovery Sources
The value of a claim often depends on identifying every available source of recovery. Gavagan Law reviews bodily injury coverage, PIP, MedPay, uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, workers’ compensation issues, third-party liability, liens, and other insurance questions that may affect the case.
03
Medical Impact & Damages
The full value of an injury claim depends on documenting the harm. Gavagan Law gathers and analyzes medical records, bills, treatment history, work restrictions, lost wages, permanency, future care issues, pain and suffering, and the long-term effect of the injury on daily life.
04
Settlement, Litigation & Trial Preparation
Every case is prepared with the next step in mind. Gavagan Law builds claims for settlement negotiations, but also prepares for litigation when the insurance company does not make a fair offer. That may include filing suit, discovery, depositions, mediation, arbitration, and trial preparation when necessary.

Avoid giving recorded statements to the insurance company before getting legal advice. Acting quickly can help protect both your health and your claim. For more guidance, review our Boston car accident lawyer page.
Compensation may include medical bills, lost wages, reduced future earning capacity, pain and suffering, and other damages depending on the injuries, liability facts, and available insurance coverage. Every case is different, so the value of a claim depends on its specific facts. You can explore more case types on our Practice Areas page.
Generally, under Massachusetts law, most personal injury claims must be filed within three (3) years of the date of the accident. However, certain cases involving government entities — including accidents involving municipal property, city or town negligence, or public transportation systems like the MBTA — involve shorter notice deadlines and additional legal requirements.
Under the Massachusetts Tort Claims Act, written notice of the claim (known as “Presentment”) must be provided to the appropriate government entity within two (2) years of the accident. Failing to comply with these requirements can jeopardize your right to recover compensation and pursue a claim.
Because these deadlines and notice requirements can vary depending on the circumstances of the accident, it is important to speak with an experienced Massachusetts personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
Be careful. Insurance adjusters may ask for recorded statements or push quick settlements before the full value of your injuries is known. Before agreeing to anything, it is often wise to speak with a personal injury lawyer who can help protect your rights and evaluate the claim.
