After a car accident, you have the right to seek compensation for your losses, including medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and pain and suffering. However, relying on the other driver’s insurance company to do the right thing can leave you frustrated and without the support you need. In many cases, the at-fault driver may try to shift blame, putting your claim at risk.
Whether you suffered injuries on I-495, I-95, or The Old King’s Highway, Shaheen & Gordon is here to protect your rights and ensure insurance companies don’t take advantage of you. Let our skilled Massachusetts attorneys handle the legal complexities while you focus on recovery.

What our clients say about working with us
“I highly recommend Attorney Noonan. He communicates in a straight-forward manner, is very responsive to any concerns, and learns your case inside out to get the best possible result. He is a very skilled attorney and caring person.”
“I was completely satisfied by the legal expertise, services and support provided by Shaheen & Gordon, Dover. My team, led by attorney Nicholas G. Kline….were courteous and delivered resolution swiftly. I had come to the firm after being stuck with my case for 18 months with a local sole-practice attorney who was practically unreachable. Working with my team at Shaheen & Gordon was a ‘night and day’ positive difference. I highly recommend this firm, my team….and look forward to working with them again should the need arise!”

Fighting for full compensation for Massachusetts car accident victims
Medical bills, lost wages, and property damage can quickly create financial strain after an accident. While insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts, Shaheen & Gordon fights to maximize your compensation.
Economic damages
These tangible losses include:
- Medical bills, hospital stays, and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage (e.g., car repairs)
- Out-of-pocket expenses, such as transportation to medical appointments
Non-economic damages
These damages address intangible losses, such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of companionship or quality of life
We work diligently to calculate and pursue every type of compensation you’re entitled to receive.
Navigating Massachusetts car accident laws: what you need to know
Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover damages as long as you are less than 50% at fault. Your percentage of fault will reduce your compensation.
Massachusetts follows a no-fault insurance system, meaning your own insurance company will typically cover medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault in the crash. However, the state has a serious injury threshold, which allows lawsuits against the at-fault party to recover additional damages.
Shaheen & Gordon will evaluate your case and determine the best way to secure maximum compensation.
Frequently asked questions about car accidents in Massachusetts
How much time do I have to file a car accident lawsuit?
Massachusetts law sets a three-year statute of limitations for car accident claims. However, waiting too long can make gathering evidence more difficult.
In some situations, your deadline may be shorter. Contact Shaheen & Gordon as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How much does it cost to hire Shaheen & Gordon?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win or settle your case. This ensures that quality legal representation is accessible to everyone.
When are you required to report a crash in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts law requires you to report a crash within 5 days if it involves:
- Injury
- Death
- Property damage exceeding $1,000
You must file a crash report with the local police department, Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, and your insurance company. Failing to do so could result in penalties.
