Injury Cases We Handle for Lowell Residents
Car, Truck, Motorcycle, and Bus Accidents
Crashes on Route 3, I-495, the Lowell Connector, and the VFW Highway, and at busy downtown intersections, can cause life-changing injuries. Our Lowell car accident lawyers handle auto accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and bus accidents.
Pedestrian, Bicycle, and E-Bike Accidents
Downtown Lowell and the streets around UMass Lowell see heavy foot and bike traffic. If a driver struck you while walking or riding, our bicycle and pedestrian accident lawyers and e-bike accident lawyers can help.
Workplace and Construction Injuries
If you were hurt on the job, workers’ compensation can cover medical treatment and part of your lost wages. Attorney Nicholas Ellis has represented injured workers since 1987. Construction workers may also have a claim against a negligent contractor or equipment maker, so talk to a construction accident lawyer first.
Social Security Disability
When an injury or illness keeps you from working, Social Security Disability benefits can replace lost income. We help Lowell residents with applications and appeals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Who pays my medical bills after a car accident in Massachusetts?
A. Massachusetts is a no-fault state. Your own auto policy’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays up to $8,000 in medical bills and lost wages, regardless of who caused the crash. You can also pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for pain and suffering if your medical expenses exceed $2,000 or you suffered certain serious injuries, such as a broken bone or permanent disfigurement.
Q. What if I was partly at fault for my accident?
A. You can still recover compensation as long as you were not more at fault than the other party. Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule, so your award is reduced by your share of the blame.
Q. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
A. Most Massachusetts personal injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the injury. Some deadlines are much shorter. For example, an injury caused by a defect in a public road or sidewalk generally requires written notice to the city or state within 30 days.
Q. Can you handle my case if it goes to court in Lowell?
A. Yes. Our attorneys are licensed throughout Massachusetts. Smaller injury lawsuits from Lowell may be heard at Lowell District Court on Jackson Street, while larger cases typically go to Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn. We represent clients wherever their case is filed.
Q. How much does it cost to hire your firm?
A. Nothing up front. Your consultation is free, and we only collect a fee if we recover compensation for you.
