Sousa & Sousa Law Offices

Divorce

DUI/DWI
Massachusetts follows a no-fault insurance system. This means that after a car accident, you must first turn to your own personal injury protection (PIP) car insurance coverage. PIP should pay for medical care and certain out-of-pocket costs. You will not be able to get compensated for your non-economic damages from the car accident, such as pain and suffering, unless you meet a threshold for serious injuries set by Massachusetts law. If you meet the threshold, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against a negligent driver. Common types of behaviors that cause car accidents include failing to obey traffic signals or signs, ignoring crosswalks, texting or talking on the phone while driving, failing to check blind spots, and drunk driving. Motorcycle Accidents
Wrongful Death
The Brockton wrongful death attorneys at Sousa & Sousa are compassionate advocates for victims who have lost a loved one due to another person’s negligence. We are dedicated to defending your rights and helping your family achieve justice. Our firm has provided superior legal representation to families in the greater Brockton area and Massachusetts for over 37 years.
Traffic Violations
There is no buffer between a motorcyclist and the road or another vehicle. Many motorcyclists suffer catastrophic or even fatal injuries while riding. A Brockton personal injury attorney can help victims sue at-fault drivers in these situations. Motorcycle accidents may be caused by another driver’s failure to yield, tailgating, swerving, speeding, cutting off the motorcyclist, driving under the influence, or driving while distracted. Insurers sometimes take an aggressive approach in arguing that a motorcyclist was partially or fully to blame for an accident. Getting an attorney on your side can make a big difference in fending off an insurer’s tactics.
Homicide
In some cases, the negligent parties will be held civilly and criminally liable for their conduct. That is, the civil action for wrongful death proceeds separately from the criminal prosecution. One does not preclude the other. This is common in cases of homicide, malpractice, or egregious negligence. While the state punishes defendants for their criminal acts, family members can bring a separate lawsuit to recover damages for their financial and emotional loss.
Hit and Run
The experienced Brockton hit and run accident attorneys at Sousa & Sousa diligently investigate every accident to help victims identify all liable parties and recover the compensation they deserve. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality legal representation to accident victims in Brockton and surrounding areas in Massachusetts.

Workers Compensation
Serious accidents can occur on construction sites. Often, medical bills are quite expensive, and most people do not have enough saved in case of catastrophic injuries. You may need to bring a workers’ compensation claim with regard to your employer, and you may also need to bring a third-party construction accident claim under another theory, such as negligence. Workers’ compensation does not provide compensation for pain and suffering, or full replacement for lost wages, which is why pursuing a third-party claim can be crucial. It may be necessary to retain an expert who understands the safety regulations at issue under Massachusetts law and the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act. Workers' Compensation

Real Estate Litigation
We handle only personal injury law. We do not handle divorce, bankruptcy, criminal or real estate law, like many general practice law firms.
Premises Liability
In Massachusetts property owners are legally obliged to keep their property safe for other individuals. Property owners include, homeowners, business owners, landlords, corporations and municipalities. According to Massachusetts law property owners must secure their property so there are no hazardous or dangerous conditions that could injure or hurt any individual. If you have been injured due to the negligence of a property owner, especially when the owner knew or should have known of the hazardous condition, you should be fairly compensated for your injuries, medical bills and other expenses. At Sousa and Sousa we are experts when it comes to Massachusetts Premises liability law, we have been through this hundreds of times and our clients’ success is proof our effectiveness.
Property Damage
Car accidents happen every day in Brockton and other areas of the state. In fact, auto accidents are the leading cause of injury and death in the United States. Because of their frequency, Massachusetts law requires drivers to carry insurance. This protects against liability for property damage or bodily injury in the event of a crash. Unfortunately, many people still drive without insurance or with the bare minimum required under state law. This is especially common during tough economic times, when people can no longer pay their premiums. While these drivers allow their insurance to lapse, they still need their cars to get to work. As a result, your chances of being involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist are higher than you think.

Personal Injury
Many accidents result from negligence by one or more people. Lawsuits based on negligence require the plaintiff to prove that they were harmed because of careless actions by someone else. The context surrounding the injuries will determine the type of duty that was owed and whether it was breached. If you are able to establish liability with the assistance of a personal injury attorney in the Brockton area, you can recover compensatory damages, including medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, loss of enjoyment of life, and mental anguish. Even if you were partly at fault, you can recover some of your damages as long as you were less than 51 percent responsible for the accident. Car Accidents
Medical Malpractice
The knowledgeable Brockton medical malpractice attorneys at Sousa & Sousa are industry leaders in malpractice law. Our highly-trained staff and team of experts can help you bring a successful claim for damages. We have recovered compensation for patients harmed by the negligence of health care providers in Easton and surrounding Massachusetts.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
Dog bites can result in devastating injuries to both the victim and the owner. In many cases, the dog must be euthanized. Pursuant to Massachusetts law, a person who fails to kill or confine an offending dog shall be punished by a fine. A police officer may also kill the dog if it is found outside the enclosure of its owner’s property or not under the owner’s immediate care. If the police or a district court orders the dog restrained and the dog gets out, wounding another person, the owner must pay the injured party treble the amount of damages.
