Nothing up front. Frawley & Sabounji Law Group handle injury and workers’ compensation cases on a contingency-fee basis — there’s no fee unless we recover compensation for you — and the initial consultation is free. If you can’t come to us, we’ll come to you.

Deadlines are strict. They vary by case type. For most personal injury cases in Massachusetts, the statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of injury, though some situations have different deadlines. Workers’ compensation has its own timelines for notifying your employer and filing a claim. Because missing a deadline can end a valid case, it’s best to call as soon as possible so we can confirm the deadlines that apply to you.

Yes. Massachusetts workers’ compensation is a no-fault system — if you were injured in the course of your job, you’re generally entitled to benefits even if you were partially at fault. Insurers still try to deny or minimize these claims, which is where having a lawyer helps.

Benefits depend on your situation. They can include wage-replacement (for total or partial disability), full coverage of related medical treatment, compensation for permanent loss of function or scarring, and vocational rehabilitation. We make sure insurers pay the full benefits you’re owed under M.G.L. Chapter 152.

Usually not. You should talk to a lawyer first. Insurance adjusters often use recorded statements to minimize what they pay. Attorney Frawley worked as an insurance adjuster before becoming a lawyer, so the firm knows these tactics from the inside.

It depends. For a minor fender-bender that the insurer is already covering, you may not need one. But for any serious injury, a lawyer helps you value the claim correctly, deal with the insurer, and avoid settling for less than your case is worth. To maximize the value of your claim, it’s generally best to have experienced legal representation.
