Slip & Fall/Dog Bites

Premises Liability Attorneys in Lawrence, Massachusetts

If you or someone you care about has slipped and fallen on dangerous property, suffering a personal injury, it is essential to act quickly to explore options for obtaining compensation. Similarly, when a dog bites, consequences can be very severe — and it is equally important to consult a lawyer at your first opportunity.

Our Essex County-based law firm, Wight & Roche, is a trusted resource for people across northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. We have built an excellent reputation for caring representation of personal injury victims, including those suffering from slip-and-fall injuries and dog bites.

Serious Consideration When You Ask, "Do I Have a Case?"

We are straight-talking attorneys who know the laws of both states we serve. By gathering basic information, we can often determine fairly quickly whether you should consider taking legal action. If it makes sense, we will move quickly to:

• Investigate the scene, gathering physical evidence, photographs or video, and witness testimony
• Fulfill any legal notice requirements, such as those required after Massachusetts slip-and-fall injuries
• Contact and enlist appropriate experts needed to help build your case
• Ensure evidence is left intact — or, in a dog bite case, that the offending dog is secured and remains available
• Begin examining insurance coverage and other potential sources of recovery for you

Insurance Knowledge is Critical for Your Personal Injury Attorney

Most valid personal injury cases settle out of court. In this environment your lawyer's insurance knowledge and negotiating skills are more important than ever. This is a clear strength at Wight & Roche. We will find all applicable coverage and drive toward a fair settlement for you while simultaneously building your case for court, in case going the distance is necessary to get the compensation you deserve.

To discuss a dog bite or slip-and-fall injury, we encourage you to call us at 978-208-2592 or send us e-mail now. There will be no consultation charge. In fact, you will owe no attorney fees unless we take your case and obtain a financial settlement or winning verdict.
