How Our Cambridge Personal Injury Attorneys Pursue Damages
Depending on how your accident happened, you could have multiple options for recovering compensation.
In car accident cases, for example, your first step will probably be to file a claim with your no-fault accident insurance, which pays out regardless of how the crash happened. Only if you sustain a catastrophic injury will you be able to file a case against the negligent party.
If you do qualify to file a claim or lawsuit against someone else, this process typically involves:
- Sending a demand letter to the at-fault party and/or their insurance company
- Communicating with the insurer to make sure they handle your claim in good faith
- Negotiating a settlement, if possible, and taking your case to trial if necessary
A personal injury claim or settlement could entitle you to a variety of damages, including economic damages (e.g., property damage, medical expenses, lost wages) and non-economic damages (e.g., pain and suffering, lost quality of life).
How Much Do Personal Injury Lawyers Charge?
GED Lawyers charges nothing up front. Instead, we agree to work for a certain percentage of your final settlement or award, and we only collect that fee if we win money for you. If you do not get paid, neither do we.
How to Qualify for a Personal Injury Claim in Cambridge
There are four basic elements of negligence that every personal injury case has to meet: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. In short, you have to prove that someone else had a duty to behave responsibly, failed in that duty, and through that failure caused your accident and injuries.
Many types of accidents can be caused by negligence, and GED Lawyers takes on many different kinds of cases. Our legal team includes:
- Cambridge car accident lawyers: Intersections like the one at Monsignor O’Brien Highway and Edwin H Land Boulevard/Charlestown Avenue are especially dangerous, according to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT).
- Cambridge motorcycle accident lawyers: Your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance does not cover motorcycle accidents. We can help you file a claim against the at-fault party.
- Cambridge product liability lawyers: If you were injured by any dangerous product, from car parts to medical devices, you deserve compensation.
- Cambridge slip and fall accident lawyers: Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicate that the fall accident death rate among older individuals is higher in Massachusetts (84.3 deaths per 100,000 people) than in the United States as a whole (69.9 per 100,000).
- Cambridge truck accident lawyers: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports that there were 1,664 large truck accidents in Massachusetts in 2024.

A Cambridge Personal Injury Lawyer Can Find Who Is Liable in Your Case
In some cases, it is obvious from the start that negligence contributed to your injuries—for example, if you were hit by a car that ran a red light.
In many cases, however, things are not so clear. For instance, if you slipped on spilled liquid in the grocery store, how do you prove that management knew about the spill, had ample time to address it, and failed to do so?
That is what our Cambridge lawyers are here for. Our legal team diligently collects all available evidence to make our clients’ cases as strong as possible. Valuable evidence could include:
- Your medical records
- Official reports
- Photos or videos that show the scene or the accident itself
- Witness testimony
- Expert testimony (e.g., from accident reconstructionists)
- Documentation from the at-fault party (e.g., employee or inspection records)
- Cell phone data
You have the right to sue almost any negligent party who caused or contributed to your accident, including:
- Drivers who ignore traffic laws
- Manufacturers who fail to adequately test their products or to recall products that they know are dangerous
- Property owners or managers who do not maintain their property
- Government departments that do not keep roadways safe
- Trucking companies that ignore state or federal safety regulations
- Cargo loaders who improperly load or secure cargo in trucks
- Maintenance companies that are hired to keep vehicles or property in good repair, and fail to do so

No matter what your case brings, we can protect your rights and give you the chance to concentrate on healing from your injuries while we fight for you.
