Personal Injury

Sheehan Phinney Personal Injury Group represents plaintiffs who have suffered bodily injury and the heirs of individuals who have died of such injuries. With the assistance of medical, engineering or other experts, Sheehan Phinney lawyers evaluate and prepare claims for trial, and aggressively pursue recovery for medical expenses, pain and suffering, mental anguish, disability, lost earning potential, and other emotional and psychological injuries.

Our personal injury lawyers know that the best results occur when lawyers are ready to try a client's case if a fair settlement proposal is not made. Many personal injury cases, however, are settled prior to trial, and Sheehan Phinney lawyers are highly skilled and widely recognized for their capabilities and successes in mediation, arbitration, and the other forms of alternative dispute resolution that lead to such settlements.

Sheehan Phinney Personal Injury Group represents plaintiffs throughout New England and around the country in state and federal trial and appellate courts and in alternative dispute resolution. We handle a wide variety of cases involving serious injury or death including:

• Product liability cases for serious injury or death caused by aircraft, automobile, boat, tractor-trailer, or other vehicles
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Design defects and defective products
• Workplace accidents
• Construction accidents
• Toxic torts
• Hazardous waste and other environmental litigation
• Civil rights cases
