Massachusetts Accident Lawyer DelSignore Law Home
Massachusetts Personal Injury Lawyer
After an accident, the insurance company's goal is to resolve the claim quickly and for as little money as possible. Attorney Michael DelSignore represents injured individuals throughout Massachusetts, providing the trial experience needed to negotiate from a position of strength rather than accepting an insurer's first offer.
Why Trial Experience Matters in a Personal Injury CaseAn insurance adjuster's settlement offer is shaped by how likely they believe a case is to go to trial. Firms that settle the vast majority of their cases quickly, without serious trial preparation, are often offered less by insurers — and tend to accept it. Attorney DelSignore has handled significantly more trials than most personal injury attorneys handle in an entire career, which gives him real leverage in settlement negotiations.
- Substantial trial experience, not just a high settlement volume
- Direct, personal involvement in each case rather than a high-volume caseload model
- A focus on maximizing recovery, not resolving cases as quickly as possible
Personal injury cases are handled on a contingent fee basis, meaning there is no fee unless money is recovered. Clients are never out of pocket for legal fees. Any portion of a settlement or verdict attributable to property damage is not subject to a fee — the fee applies only to the injury portion of the recovery.

Personal injury cases are handled on a contingent fee basis. There is no upfront cost, and a fee is only owed if money is recovered.
Massachusetts generally allows three years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, though some claims have different deadlines. It is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident to avoid missing any applicable deadline.
An initial settlement offer often does not reflect the full value of a claim, particularly before the extent of an injury is fully known. An attorney can evaluate whether an offer is fair based on medical treatment, lost wages, and the strength of the case.
Massachusetts requires uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage on auto policies, which may provide a source of recovery when the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage.
Most personal injury cases settle before trial, but a willingness to take a case to trial when necessary is often what drives a fair settlement offer from an insurance
