What our clients say

Great experience working with John Peck. Super professional and efficient and had my back through the whole experience. Would definitely work with this firm again.

Emma Kleinman

When no one else would take my case they did. And they found away to assist me when others said it was impossible and couldn’t be done. I appreciated the support and service I received. It felt like it was a team of people that was working on me and my daughters case and not just one person

Case Results

WON

Injuries: Multiple fractures, cervical spine injury, failed shoulder surgery, permanent disability A 79-year-old man was struck in a marked crosswalk by a commercial vehicle. The driver claimed bad weather obscured his view. We pulled the weather report. No precipitation at the time of impact. We obtained surveillance video showing the collision clearly. We deposed the driver and exposed contradictions in his testimony about speed, visibility, and awareness. We documented over $300,000 in past medical bills, $150,000 in lost earnings, and $500,000 in future medical costs. We secured a settlement over $1,000,000 for our client.

$300,000

WON

Injuries: Lumbar disc herniations, elbow ligament sprain, knee cartilage damage Our client was riding his moped through a Boston intersection when the at-fault driver made an illegal U-turn into his path. The ER ran CT scans. No fractures. The insurer pointed to those clean scans early and tried to avoid responsibility for any injuries. Our client went to an orthopedist who ordered MRIs. They revealed two lumbar disc herniations compressing nerve roots, a torn elbow ligament, and cartilage loss in the knee. The radiologist confirmed each injury was causally related to the collision and we secured the $300,000 policy limit.

Confidential Settlement

WON

Injuries Severe soft tissue trauma, nerve damage, knee and ankle injuries Our client was riding in a designated bike lane on a major Boston avenue when a rear passenger door of a commercial SUV swung open directly into her path. She struck the door and was thrown from her vehicle. The passengers stepped over her, told her she “needed to be more careful,” and walked away. The driver checked on her briefly, then got back in the vehicle and drove off without providing any identifying information. The insurer denied liability. It claimed our client was not in the bike lane and disputed that the driver fled the scene. The police report said otherwise. Dispatch notes logged in real time documented a hit in the bike lane and confirmed the vehicle drove off. Officers broadcast the plate to other units — standard procedure for a hit-and-run. We built the demand around the official record and Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 90, Section 14, which places the legal burden on the person opening the door, not the cyclist. The driver also violated M.G.L. c. 90, § 24(2)(a) by leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury. Our client lost all sensation in her left arm for weeks due to a severe hematoma at the impact site. She could not lean on the arm, could not sleep without waking from numbness, and still carries a visible indentation where the door struck her. The case resolved for a confidential settlement in the high six figures.
