According to the plaintiff, evidence showed that the defendant failed to erect proper shoring for the job by not obtaining an engineer's drawing and not determining the weight of the ceiling or the shoring capacity of the equipment used.
An engineering survey, required by Massachusetts Building Code and OSHA regulations, had been undertaken for a previously demolished external wall, but not of the subject wall...Read more.

A frequent issue that arises when personal injury cases are about to settle is whether the plaintiff should take the payment in the form of a structured settlement.
Structured settlements are payouts over time rather than payment in one lump sum. As usual, the best course of action depends on the specific situation. In this context it depends upon the parties who are involved and their needs. Nevertheless, there are a few guiding principles which must be borne in mind...Read more.

A weapon in Massachusetts personal injury cases is our Consumer Protection Statute, 93A. Passed in the late 1970’s, this is a tool that may have originally been designed to aid the consumer in his/her fight against the retailer for unfair and deceptive acts or practices in commerce. Over the years, it has also been used against insurance companies for unfair claims handling practices. That is through resort to another statute. 176D, which is used in concert with 93A....Read more.

Pricing personal injury cases is not easy. Having said that, experienced attorneys will often put a value on cases in amazingly similar amounts.

Robert Feinberg Selected in 2008 "Super Lawyers", fifth consecutive year.
14 January 2009
Attorney Robert I. Feinberg has been designated as a "Super Lawyer" in the category of personal injury for the fifth consecutive year as reported in issues of the Boston Magazine. Significantly, these are the only years in which this list has been compiled. In 2007, his selection as a "Super Lawyer" was part of the inaugural issue in Boston Magazine of New England Super Lawyers. Because the Super Lawyer listing undergoes some degree of change from year to year, it is especially impressive to be selected in all years as has occurred with Mr. Feinberg.
