Boston Car Accident Lawyer: Rollover Car Accidents   A rollover car accident is terrifying by anyone’s standards. It results in over 10,000 deaths per year, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). SUVs, minivans and trucks are the most common vehicles to be involved in these types of accidents due to their top heaviness as opposed to a regular sedan. When making sharp or fast turns, these larger vehicles become imbalanced due to their high center of gravity and can tip easily.  Contact a  Parker Scheer Boston Car Accident Lawyer to speak with an experienced Parker Scheer Attorney about a potential claim.

Burke brings nearly twenty-five years of experience in the representation of injured workers and their families concentrating his practice in Workers' Compensation, including construction site and workplace accidents; motor vehicle negligence; product liability; and defective premises.

Personal Injury: Owning a Dog Could Get a "bit" Riskier
Insurance companies that insure Massachusetts homeowners have quietly been reducing, if not altogether eliminating insurance coverage previously available to dog owners. The trend began several years ago when a number of homeowner's insurance companies began "black-listing" certain breeds they labeled as "highly dangerous", including Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinschers, American Bull Dogs, and other breeds believed to be more dangerous to humans than other breeds. More recently, however, owners of breeds not listed as "dangerous" have discovered that their homeowners' insurance policies provided a substantially lower limit of coverage for claims asserted against them when their dog did cause injury. Unfortunately, discovering low (or no) limits of coverage after your dog causes injury to another person, can be almost as painful for the dog's owner as it can for the dog's victim.
