We focus our personal injury practice on complex products liability, medical malpractice, toxic tort, and motor vehicle accident cases, typically involving catastrophic injury, brain damage, or wrongful death. We work with leading experts in the fields of medicine, engineering, rehabilitation, and economics to help us understand and prove our clients’ claims. Where appropriate, we work with financial advisors and life care planners to provide sustainable, long-term solutions for our clients and their families.
Product Liability
Massachusetts law requires that manufacturers, sellers and even some non-sellers of products ensure that their products are safe and are not in any way defective or dangerous to users. Companies must provide proper warning if any part of their product may be unsafe or if using the product in a certain way may be hazardous to the user’s safety or health. When a defective product causes injury or death, or a defective drug causes serious side-effects, the manufacturers and other parties in the distribution chain may be liable for damages.
At Raphaelson & Raphaelson, we provide legal services in product liability cases at a high level of skill and sophistication, engaging qualified experts in medical, engineering and other appropriate disciplines to obtain just compensation for our clients injured by defective products or drugs.

Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is negligence or deviation from the expected standard of care on the part of a doctor or other health care provider. When a health care provider departs from accepted medical practice, and injury or death of a patient occurs as a result of that deviation from the standard of care, the health care provider may be held liable for his or her conduct. The patient may be entitled to recover for past and future pain and suffering, medical expenses, and loss of earnings. Family members may be able to recover for their losses, including loss of consortium or companionship.
At Raphaelson & Raphaelson, we help our clients recover compensation so that they can afford the care they need and can begin to recover from their loss. We work with leading experts in the medical profession to help understand and prove our clients’ claims. We work hard to meticulously prepare each case for trial and to provide sustainable financial and, where appropriate, long-term care solutions for our clients.

Toxic Poisoning
Personal injury from exposure to toxic substances can lead to serious and permanent injury and sometimes even death. Raphaelson & Raphaelson has represented plaintiffs in complex toxic poisoning cases, including cases involving asbestos related injuries (especially malignant mesothelioma and lung cancer), carbon monoxide poisoning, lead paint poisoning, and PCB poisoning.
We work with clients to reveal the source of toxic substances and then consult with medical and toxicology experts to understand the extent of your injuries and how we may help you.
Catastrophic Injury, Brain Injury, and Wrongful Death
The physical, emotional, and financial consequences of catastrophic injury, brain damage and wrongful death are often devastating, not only to the victim but to the entire family. At Raphaelson & Raphaelson, we work with each client and family to begin the process of recovery, and to provide for their future needs. We focus initially on understanding the nature and extent of the loss by consulting with the family and with leading experts. We then work hard to meticulously prepare each case for trial, keeping in mind our goals of obtaining a sustainable financial solution and a suitable long-term care plan (if appropriate). Raphaelson & Raphaelson is a member of the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts.
