Testimonial from Boston Comedian Lenny Clarke
Lenny Clarke, a Boston comedian and actor, believes that Sokolove Law should be the go-to law firm for people in Boston and beyond.
Video Summary: Local Boston legend Lenny Clarke discusses why it's better to work with a New England law firm like Sokolove Law. View Transcript.
Lenny Clarke:
John Adams, Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, these guys all fought for what's right, and there's another guy who's been fighting for New Englanders too — Jim Sokolove.
He's a guy just like you and me. He's from Revere, rides the T, curses at traffic, roots for Boston sports teams, and he's wicked smart.
If you or a loved one has been hurt by a doctor or a hospital's mistake, or your cancer or heart attack wasn't diagnosed in time, you want the fighting spirit of Sokolove Law on your side to fight for the compensation you deserve.
I mean, it's much better to be represented by a firm like Sokolove Law that's been helping people in New England for over 45 years than some lawyer who can't pronounce Worcester and don't even know what a rotary is.
Pick up your phone, dial 1-800-CALL-Jim, add it to your favorites, and let Sokolove Law fight for you or your family when you need legal help. That's 1-800-CALL-JIM.
“My pal Jim Sokolove is a guy just like you and me, and his firm has deep local roots,” said Lenny. “He grew up in Revere, for crying out loud. That’s not far from where I live. And he’s been helping working families across New England fight for their rights for more than 45 years.”
If you or someone you love has been in a car accident, got hurt at work, or was otherwise injured by someone else’s carelessness, our Boston personal injury attorneys are here to fight for you.

Massachusetts Statute of Limitations on Personal Injury Claims
If you or someone you love is the victim of a personal injury, you may be able to seek compensation. However, you’ll need to file your claim within a certain time frame.
Statutes of limitations are laws that determine how long you have to take legal action. These laws vary for each state and by type of case, so it’s important to contact a Boston law firmas soon as possible to find out about the deadline that applies in your case.
For most personal injury claims, the Massachusetts statute of limitations is 3 years after your injury or illness occurred. In wrongful death cases, the deadline is 3 years after your loved one’s passing.
Some exceptions may apply, making this time frame longer or shorter depending on your situation. If you don’t file your claim within the time limit, you’ll never be able to file one. However, you can ensure your claim is filed on time by working with an experienced Boston law firm like Sokolove Law.
Common Boston Personal Injury Cases
Common Boston personal injury cases involve car crashes, dangerous products, toxic exposures, and more.

Medical Malpractice: When a medical professional makes an error — like a misdiagnosis or surgical mistake — it can lead to severe consequences for patients.
Pharmaceutical Medications: Companies may not warn users about the serious side effects associated with their medications, which can lead to different injuries.
Sexual Abuse: Survivors of abuse may be able to take legal action against their abuser and any institutions that enabled them.
Traffic Accidents: Whether you’ve been hit by an Uber, a commercial vehicle, a semi-truck, or an individual driver, if it's not your fault, don't settle for less than you deserve.

Boston Mesothelioma & Lung Cancer Lawyers
For decades, many asbestos-related companies knowingly put employees and consumers at risk of illnesses like mesothelioma and lung cancer. This dangerous mineral could be found in homes, shipyards, and buildings throughout Boston.
If you were diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, you may be eligible for financial compensation from various potential sources.
If you or a loved one was diagnosed with mesothelioma, our asbestos lawyers in Massachusetts can pursue compensation from every option available to you as a way of maximizing the amount of money you receive.
Birth Injury Attorneys in Boston
More than 6,780 babies were born in Boston in 2021. In some cases, newborns may suffer an injury before, during, or shortly after delivery due to a medical error.
The long-term costs of caring for a child who was injured at birth can be very high, often more than many families are able to afford.
At Sokolove Law, we’ve secured more than $1 Billion for families impacted by birth injuries. See if our Boston birth injury attorneys may be able to fight for you.
In Boston, there are around 1,900 serious or fatal crashes throughout the city each year. Even minor accidents can leave victims with long-term physical or mental health issues.
If you were injured in a car accident or a commercial vehicle accident that wasn’t your fault, the aftermath can be challenging. Insurance companies often offer low settlements that don’t cover the true cost of the crash.
Our experienced Boston auto accident lawyers may be able to pursue the money you deserve, so you can focus on your recovery. For over 45 years, we’ve fought for drivers and pedestrians injured through no fault of their own.
Video Summary: Hear why Matt chose to file a car accident lawsuit with the help of Sokolove Law. View Transcript.
My name is Matt, and I contacted Sokolove Law after getting in a car accident. I'm a big fisherman, I love to hunt, and I'm always exploring stuff in this area. I go to this beach parking lot regularly to check to see if there are any fish biting. It's a drive I take multiple times a day. It's right down the street. I was just driving along, I was minding my own business, driving the speed limit, and all of a sudden someone was just driving into the side of my car and crashing into it. My car was completely totaled. I ended up on somebody's front yard.
Probably a day or two later, I started having some really, really bad back cramps, which is something that I've never in my life experienced. They were really really bad — I actually fell over because my whole back just seized up. It was just a pain I had never felt before. I probably had to go to physical therapy for somewhere between eight and nine weeks. Once I started having to go to physical therapy and once I started to get medical treatment for this, it felt like that shouldn't be something I have to pay for. It wasn’t my fault. It was someone else’s fault. Somebody was irresponsible and crashed into me. That’s when I started thinking about Sokolove Law.
I reached out to the law firm one week after the accident. The reason I did that was I was interested to see how much money would be available for a crash like this. I've never done anything accident-lawsuit-related in my life until now, and I was very surprised at how easy things were. Honestly, it was just so professionally done. That’s how I would describe it. My experience working with the legal team at Sokolove Law was excellent. It was super simple. They were super professional. Everything was laid out very clearly, and there was no confusion about what needed to be done at all. They did a lot of work to get that settlement done, and I’m really happy that I was able to find them, contact them, and get things done.
When the case was settled, I felt very relieved. I felt very happy, actually, because things were done, the check was there, and I didn’t have to deal with any of this anymore. I wish that my car didn’t get totaled, but I ended up getting a new car out of it, and, you know, everything’s going well now. I would recommend other people contact a firm like Sokolove Law after a car accident because injuries from car accidents aren’t always immediately apparent. It could be something that flares up later, like in my case. My back hurt more and more over the following days after the accident. I just feel like not enough people know what their options are when they get into a crash. You don’t have to just call the insurance company. You can talk to an attorney. It doesn’t cost you any money to speak to an attorney at all. It’s completely free to speak to them. I don’t see why you wouldn’t do it if you’re injured in a car accident. It’s a very simple process, and you can get money out of it.
Boston Disability Denial Attorneys
In Boston, 12% of residents live with a disability. If you’re no longer able to work due to an injury or illness, disability insurance may be your only source of income.
However, some insurance companies may try to deny your disability claim — even if it’s valid. Unum, for example, has faced criticism and lawsuits for wrongfully denying claims.
Many Massachusetts residents have experienced delays and denials of claims that should’ve been approved, leaving them without the financial support they need during a challenging time.
If your Social Security benefits or long-term disability claim was denied, our Boston attorneys may be able to help you appeal the denial and receive the compensation you deserve.
Dog Bite Lawyer in Boston, MA
Dog bites can result in severe physical injuries and emotional trauma, with children and senior citizens being most at risk.
In Boston, more than 300 dog bites are reported each year. While some bites come from aggressive dogs, many involve startled or scared animals that are known to the victims.
At Sokolove Law, our Boston dog bite lawyers may be able to help you hold negligent pet owners accountable and seek compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and more.
Boston Medical Malpractice Lawyers
While Boston is home to some of the top hospitals in the country, patients may still be injured by a medical professional’s mistake. In fact, Massachusetts has seen over 62,000 preventable medical errors in a single year.
One of the most common forms of malpractice, misdiagnosis, can include failing to diagnose a medical condition, providing a delayed diagnosis, or making an incorrect diagnosis.
If you or a loved one has been harmed by medical negligence, our Boston attorneys may be able to help you file a medical malpractice lawsuit. We’re committed to helping patients secure compensation for treatments, lost work wages, and other expenses linked to their injuries.
Boston Nursing Home Abuse Attorneys
Unfortunately, nursing home abuse and neglect are becoming more common as our population ages — and care facilities located in Boston are no exception.
Nursing home abuse may include:
Failing to provide residents with the care required to meet their basic needs
Physical abuse, like hitting or kicking a resident
Sexual abuse, including unwanted touching or other forms of sexual contact
Over 8% of the state’s 345 nursing homes have been cited for a serious deficiency that puts residents in immediate danger.
Sokolove Law has more than 45 years of experience helping families whose loved ones have suffered nursing home abuse. We understand the challenges you’re facing, and we’re here to help.
Boston Product Liability Lawyers
Manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure the products they make and sell are safe. When defective or dangerous products cause harm, victims may be eligible to seek compensation from a product liability lawsuit.
If you were injured by an unsafe or potentially defective product, our Boston product liability lawyers can help you pursue justice and compensation for the harm you suffered.
Boston Sexual Abuse Lawyers
If you are a survivor of sexual abuse, you may be able to file a civil lawsuit to hold the individual or institution that caused you harm accountable.
Sexual abuse can happen in many settings throughout Boston, including:
At Sokolove Law, our Boston sexual abuse lawyers can help survivors have their voices heard, including in cases involving former Massachusetts rheumatologist Dr. Derrick Todd and former Miss Hall’s history teacher Matthew Rutledge.
Boston Slip & Fall Lawyers
Property owners are responsible for keeping their property safe and free from hazards that could cause visitors to slip, trip, or fall. In Boston, slip and fall accidents can occur year-round — whether due to icy sidewalks in the winter, wet floors indoors, or poorly maintained stairs.
These accidents account for around 14% of workplace fatalities in Massachusetts, according to The Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Our Boston slip and fall lawyers may be able to assist you in holding negligent property owners accountable and seeking the compensation you deserve.
Boston Workplace Injury Attorneys
Getting injured at work may leave you unable to perform your job. The physical pain, lost wages, and financial stress that come from a workplace injury can greatly affect your livelihood and quality of life.
Those injured on the job may be eligible for workers’ compensation. However, some insurers or employers may try to refuse your claim or dispute the extent of your injury — but we may be able to help you fight back.
We’ve secured millions for families throughout Massachusetts. Call (800) 995-1212 now to see if you may qualify for compensation.

Each neighborhood in Boston has its unique character and history, but they’re all connected by the water surrounding them and the people who call them home.
While the downtown area is home to some of the most famous historical landmarks in the country, it’s also worth exploring some of the other neighborhoods that make up this great city:
Allston-Brighton: The two large neighborhoods are often considered one due to their close proximity. This area is known for its music scene and is home to many colleges and universities.
Back Bay: Famous for its rows of brownstone homes, Back Bay was built on reclaimed land in the Charles River basin. Known for its beautiful architectural sites, it’s also a center for business and shopping.
Beacon Hill/West End: This is one of the most famous neighborhoods in the city, popular with tourists because of its cobblestone streets and Victorian architecture. Today you can visit many historic sites in the area, as well as the Massachusetts State House.
Charlestown: As the city’s oldest neighborhood, Charlestown has a rich maritime history and a distinct personality. You’ll find plenty of pubs and some of the best restaurants in the city in this waterfront neighborhood.
Chinatown: One of the largest Chinatowns in the United States, Boston Chinatown is home to just over 5,000 people. Many people enjoy visiting Chinatown for a meal or to soak in the local culture.
Dorchester: As the city’s most densely populated area, Dorchester is packed with people practically whatever time you choose to visit. It’s filled with local businesses and attractions, and there’s always something happening.
Downtown Boston: Downtown is where it’s all going on. This is where skyscrapers tower over the streets and big business deals are completed. Many popular Boston events take place in this area.
East Boston: The historically Italian neighborhood of East Boston is becoming increasingly diverse. Although new real estate developments mean it’s a popular choice with high-earning professionals, it also has a strong working-class population.
Fenway-Kenmore: While Fenway is known for its sports culture (home to the Boston Red Sox) and Irish heritage, Kenmore is known as the home of many wealthy families who have lived there for generations.
Hyde Park: Just like London, Boston has its own Hyde Park neighborhood. This quiet area is the southernmost neighborhood in Boston and has a mostly older population.
Jamaica Plain: This neighborhood is popular with young professionals. There are lots of unique restaurants and stores in the area. JP has long been known as one of Boston’s most diverse neighborhoods and is home to many immigrants.

Roxbury: Roxbury is one of the oldest communities in Boston. It is easily accessible and features many historical sites.
