Injuries suffered in motorcycle accidents tend to be more severe than those suffered in other types of motor vehicle collisions because you don't have the frame of a car to protect you. Riders and passengers will more then likely suffer from, broken limbs, brain damage, loss of legs and road rash and other serious injuries can result. After the accident, the Insurance Company will come in and offer you anything but an explanation of your full right of recovery, just to get your name on a release to protest their insured. You deserve to know the truth and with the help of me and my staff we can work to obtain the full recovery you deserve.

In Massachusetts, an operator of a motorcycle who suffers injuries as a result of a collision with a fellow cyclist or automobile operator is legally ineligible to receive "Personal Injury Protection" benefits, also known as "no fault" benefits, as a result of the incident. As a result you are not restricted to the Massachusetts threshold. If you had a good agent you were offered Medical Payment coverage that will pay for your medical bills for up to one year after the accident with minimal limits of $1,000.00. You can and we recommend you purchase a larger amount of coverage for your own best interest.
Attorney Ritzo has successfully represented thousands of motorcycle operators injured or killed because of the negligence of another motor vehicle operator.
In New Hampshire, an operator of a vehicle who enters the state of Massachusetts is not governed by the Massachusetts threshold in order to collect for injuries suffered as a result of some else negligence. This is in effect because New Hampshire residences do not have (PIP) Personal Injury and Protection coverage available to them. Because we can travel from state to state in New England daily this is impotent to be aware of.

Defective, or negligently maintained premises, are among the most common sources of serious personal injuries and wrongful death. The range of defective conditions which give rise to “premises liability” claims are extremely broad. Examples of defective premises associated with serious injury or death include defective building construction, inadequate building maintenance, unfilled holes in land, unapparent obstructions, lack of conformity with State building code regulations, including defects in stairway design or maintenance, lack of required railings, inadequate lighting, defective flooring, defective electrical wiring, defective plumbing, injuries caused by broken glass, injuries caused by defective heating systems, such as carbon monoxide poisoning and gas leaks, defective building repairs, deck failures caused by rot or other eroding building materials, egress related issues, and other building and land-related hazards.
At Joseph A. Ritzo Law Firm we have handled them all with a successful conclusion. Contact the office at 800 -232-7533 for a free consultation or complete the questionnaire provided.
Each year, thousands of Americans suffer serious injuries, even death, as a result of work-related accidents. Unlike injuries occurring outside of work, a worker injured in the course of employment is not permitted to pursue a typical negligence claim (otherwise known as a “tort action”) against their employer or co-employee. Every state has different regulation regarding employees right to recover for injuries resulting in the course of their employment.
Unlike other kinds of personal injury cases which require the plaintiff to prove fault on the part of the defendant, a victim of a dog attack need only show that the injuries were inflicted by the dog (as opposed to some other cause) and did not result from the “teasing or tormenting” of the dog prior to injury. In many instances, a “homeowner’s” insurance policy, held by the dog’s owner at the time of the attack, will provide coverage to the victim for the injuries and losses sustained. We have extensive experience representing adults and children injured by dogs, including claims for facial scarring and disfigurement, loss of tissue, near amputation of fingers, deep puncture wounds, psychological trauma, and other related injuries and losses.
