In 2024, Colucci, Colucci, & Marcus secured the single largest settlement of a personal injury case throughout the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
You want a legal team that listens, moves fast, and delivers. In Boston, New England, and throughout the country, that means knowing how cases really play out, from a first appointment at Massachusetts General Hospital or Boston Medical Center to filings and hearings in Suffolk County Superior Court at Government Center. We pair your lived experience with Massachusetts law to build a claim that feels human and reads strong in front of adjusters and jurors.
We start with your story. What happened, how your day-to-day life changed, what you’ve lost, and what a real recovery looks like for you. Then we turn those details into evidence that meets the standards here in the jurisdiction presiding over the case. We martial records from your treating providers, witness accounts regarding the incident, and statements from the people who see your struggle, in order to create a clear narrative: cause, responsibility, and impact.
You deserve a team that won’t back down. Some defendants only move when they feel pressure. We preserve surveillance, pull vehicle data, and line up independent witnesses so negotiations start from strength. Additionally, our representation is contingency-based; we do the work first, and attorney’s fees are collected only if we secure a recovery for you. When your case concludes, you receive an itemized breakdown of fees, case costs, and your net proceeds.
Every case is different. A nursing home fall near the Longwood Medical Area is not the same as a truck crash tied to cargo operations at Logan Airport. We tailor the approach to the facts and the forum, then keep you informed at each step, allowing you to plan treatment, work, and family around what’s ahead.
Your recovery deserves focused attention, compassionate communication, and a plan aimed at the result that fits your life now and in the future. Call (617) 698-6000 today and schedule a free consultation with one of Boston’s best personal injury lawyers at Colucci, Colucci & Marcus, P.C. today.

Every Injury Case Deserves Personal Attention
Confidential Consultation with Experienced Trial Attorney
Injuries take more than money. Yes, there are hospital bills, copays, and time away from work.

When a careless person or company sets this in motion, you deserve a firm that will hold them to account.
Colucci, Colucci & Marcus, P.C. keeps the focus on you: your health, your time, and your future. We listen, we build the proof, and we move your claim forward with steady pressure aimed at full compensation for what this has taken from your life.

Practice Areas
Caring for an aging loved one is a major responsibility, and trusting a nursing home should bring peace of mind, not worry. Unfortunately, some Boston-area facilities fall short of their obligations under Massachusetts law, leaving seniors exposed to preventable harm. Families across the city, from neighborhoods near the Arnold Arboretum to areas surrounding the DCU Center in Worcester face similar concerns.
You know your loved one better than anyone, so any sudden changes in their health, behavior, or cleanliness should be taken seriously. Some of the most concerning signs of nursing home negligence include:
Massachusetts law requires nursing homes to provide reasonable care and protect residents from foreseeable harm. When a facility fails to uphold these responsibilities, the consequences can be devastating. Falls often occur during transfers or moments when staff should be assisting. Bedsores are usually the result of prolonged immobility and neglect. Medication mistakes may happen when rushed staff administer incorrect doses or skip doses altogether.
Each of these failures points to a breakdown in basic care standards. Facilities licensed under the Massachusetts Department of Public Health must meet strict regulations, and when they violate those duties, they may be held legally responsible.
We gather medical reports, staffing logs, witness testimony, and facility records to show exactly how your loved one was harmed. When we speak with you, we listen closely to what you’ve observed, how long it’s been happening, and what explanations the facility offered. Your experiences matter, and they help shape a clear picture of what your loved one may be going through.
Public inspection reports show that some Boston-area nursing homes, including facilities in communities such as Brighton, Roslindale, and Revere, have faced state or federal investigations and deficiency findings involving issues like staffing levels, infection control, or resident monitoring. While not every issue becomes public, patterns of neglect often emerge through:
These reports matter because they show ongoing problems that place residents at risk. If you suspect your loved one is in danger, it can help to know these investigations are not uncommon. You are not overreacting. Your concerns are valid, and families throughout Boston have raised similar alarms about care conditions.
Your loved one deserves to have their story told with care and strength. Nursing home negligence cases often involve elderly residents who cannot clearly describe what happened to them, which makes the role of family and detailed investigation even more important.
We take the information you share, combine it with evidence from medical professionals and regulatory records, and develop a clear narrative that explains what happened and why the facility should be held accountable. These cases often involve deeply personal details, so we approach each one with the respect your family deserves. Our goal is to highlight the human impact of the facility’s actions and advocate for fair compensation under Massachusetts law.
Your loved one should feel safe, respected, and cared for, especially in a nursing home entrusted with their well-being. If you believe a nursing home has failed your family, our skilled Boston personal injury lawyers from Colucci, Colucci & Marcus, P.C. can step in, uncover the truth, and help you take meaningful action under Massachusetts law.
Contact us today at (617) 698-6000 and let us fight for the accountability and protection they should have received from the start.

Losing someone you love changes everything. If that loss traces back to careless or reckless conduct, Massachusetts law gives your family a path to seek accountability under Chapter 229 of the Massachusetts General Laws. In Boston, these cases often involve investigations from local and federal agencies and may proceed in any Superior Court throughout Massachusetts. Knowing how the process works in the Commonwealth can help you take a clear, confident step forward.
In Massachusetts, a wrongful death claim arises when negligence, a willful or wanton act, or a breach of warranty causes a death; the kind of harm the person could have sued for if they had survived. The law also authorizes recovery for the decedent’s “fair monetary value” to their family, funeral and burial costs, and, in egregious cases, punitive damages for malicious, willful, wanton, or reckless conduct or gross negligence. Only the estate’s personal representative brings the lawsuit, typically after appointment through the Probate and Family Court.
Massachusetts sets a three-year deadline to file, measured from the date of death or from when the personal representative knew or should have known the facts giving rise to the claim. Recent appellate guidance underscores that timing can be complex, which can be another reason to act quickly.
Wrongful death in Massachusetts isn’t limited to transportation crashes or construction hazards. Families also face losses in settings across the city’s healthcare, residential, and public spaces.
Common scenarios include:
Each of these settings can generate crucial records, such as agency reports, inspection files, autopsy findings from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (OCME), and hospital documentation. Pulling those threads together helps establish what happened, who is responsible, and how that loss impacts your family.
You deserve compensation that reflects the fair monetary value of your loved one to your family, including loss of net income, services, protection, companionship, guidance, and more, with reasonable funeral and burial expenses. In cases of gross negligence or willful or wanton conduct, the statute authorizes punitive damages designed to punish and deter.
You deserve a team that moves quickly, secures key evidence from the proper agencies, and presents your family’s loss with care and force. Every step of our strategy is designed to protect your rights and push for the maximum allowed. We use the statute’s remedies, including seeking punitive damages where the facts support them, to hold wrongdoers fully accountable. In 2024, Colucci, Colucci, & Marcus secured the single largest settlement of a personal injury case throughout the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts – Twenty Million Dollars. ($20,000,000).
Our Boston based personal injury lawyers from Colucci, Colucci & Marcus, P.C. can investigate your case, obtain agency reports, engage experts, create computer generated reenactments, and otherwise build the best case possible in order to prevail in a wrongful death action. If you’re ready to talk about next steps, contact us today. Let’s pursue the full measure of justice your loved one deserves.
I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding representation and compassion I received from Colucci, Colucci & Marcus, especially Darin Colucci. From the very first conversation, Darin made me feel like more than just a client—he treated me like family. Navigating the aftermath of my accident was one of the most challenging times of my life…
A serious injury can upend your work, your routines, and your plans in an instant. In Boston, these claims often involve intensive treatment at major hospitals and long-term rehabilitation that stretches well past the first discharge date. You deserve clear guidance rooted in Massachusetts law and a plan that protects your future; your medical care, lost wages, and dignity included.
Traumatic brain injuries always look different from person to person. You might notice headaches, light sensitivity, memory gaps, or mood changes that friends and coworkers see before you do. Spinal cord harm brings another layer of uncertainty, loss of strength, numbness, unyielding pain and/or reduced mobility that can make even short trips across your home feel difficult. Severe burns are uniquely painful and can involve infection risks, grafts, and visible scarring that affects confidence as much as function.
In Boston, care often starts in Level I trauma centers such as Massachusetts General Hospital or Boston Medical Center, followed by focused rehabilitation at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown. Pediatric cases may involve Shriners Children’s Boston. These facilities create records, imaging, operative reports, and therapy notes, which become critical evidence that helps to maximize one’s monetary recovery.
You deserve coordinated help: top clinicians focused on your health and a legal team focused on proving every part of your claim. In Boston, that coordination often includes nationally-recognized providers in the Longwood Medical Area, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston Medical Center, Beth Israel Deaconess, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Tufts Medical Center, and respected private practices. Our role is to weave these medical resources with the liability evidenced developed throughout the discovery to put the plaintiff in the best possible position to obtain a maximum result.
Massachusetts law allows you to pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic losses in most catastrophic injury cases. The goal is to protect your future, not just your present. That means carefully projecting costs and documenting how the injury changes the rest of your life.
We often build a comprehensive picture that can include:
Every number connects to a real need you will face in the months and years ahead. Facts and figures matter, but your story matters just the same. Catastrophic injury claims are strongest when they capture both the clinical trajectory and the human side of what you live with each day.
Your recovery is personal, and your future is worth fighting for. A Boston personal injury lawyer from Colucci, Colucci & Marcus, P.C. can pull together your hospital records, your rehabilitation plan, and the financial proof needed to demand full compensation. We’ll make sure every part of that story is heard and valued. Call us today for a consultation.

A high-impact crash in Greater Boston brings fast decisions and real stakes. Traffic surges around Fenway Park, TD Garden, and Boston Common/Public Garden can complicate fault and evidence. Your claim should be grounded in the data that describes Boston’s risk on any given day, not guesswork.
Alcohol, phone use, and speed remain three of the most common drivers of catastrophic crashes. When a collision happens, traffic surges, and distracted drivers can make things worse.
We build proof around conduct, not guesses. That means detailed records and a tight timeline:
Precise evidence keeps the determination of fault under the modified comparative negligence system grounded in facts, not assumptions.
We focus your case on verifiable proof. When alcohol or phone use is suspected, we add tox screens and cell phone records. The result is a clear timeline that stands up in negotiations and, if necessary, in litigation.
To keep things efficient, we limit paper battles and prioritize what moves the needle:
Your recovery should reflect both the costs you can count and the human toll you feel daily. We assemble that picture with treating-provider narratives and witnesses who see your day-to-day struggles.
Timing is critical. Most injury lawsuits in Massachusetts carry a three-year statute of limitations. Claims involving public entities (for example, municipal vehicles or the MBTA) also require a written ‘presentment’ of your claim to the correct official within two years under the Massachusetts Tort Claims Act, with a three-year outside limit to file suit.
If a high-impact crash in Greater Boston has left you facing hospital bills, missed paychecks, and a long rehab schedule, you don’t have to carry the burden alone. Colucci, Colucci & Marcus, P.C. can secure the evidence, align the right experts, and press your case in Suffolk, Middlesex, or Norfolk Superior Court for the full amount you deserve. Tell us what changed. We’ll build the case that proves it.
Motorcycle drivers experience the road differently, especially when it comes to safety and injuries; traffic can be tight, views get blocked fast, and split-second choices matter. If a driver cuts you off or crowds your lane, one mistake can change everything. You deserve a clear path to medical care and a claim that accounts for your pain, your bike, and your time away from work.
Massachusetts requires motorcycle riders to wear helmets for riders and passengers. Additionally, lane splitting isn’t permitted, and riders are expected to share a lane only two abreast. Insurers lean heavily on these rules to shift blame toward riders, which is why prompt evidence collection is so important in Boston’s dense traffic environment.
Standard PIP no-fault benefits that apply to cars do not extend to motorcycles. Medical bills and wage loss often start with MedPay, UM/UIM, and health insurance, while the liability claim against the at-fault driver moves forward.
Crowds, deliveries, and event surges create blind spots and quick squeezes. Our cases often involve:
We secure video from businesses and venues, time-stamped to event schedules, to prove how conditions contributed to the crash.
Some adjusters assume you “accepted the risk” the moment you swung a leg over the bike. That bias is real, and it can shrink offers. Your case deserves a fact-driven response.
We gather Vision Zero and MassDOT crash-location data, venue and event calendars for places like Fenway, and your medical providers’ records to prove causation and damages. If an insurer leans on rider stereotypes, we retain accident-reconstruction and human-factors experts to anchor fault where it belongs: on the driver who failed to yield, signal, or check blind spots. If talks stall, we file and litigate in Suffolk Superior Court.
After a crash in Boston, you deserve a legal team that treats you with respect, pushes past anti-rider bias, and fights for the full amount the law allows. Our Boston personal injury lawyers at Colucci, Colucci & Marcus, P.C. can line up the city’s crash data, the right medical testimony, and a litigation plan that targets the full value of your case. Contact us today at (617) 698-6000 and let us build the case that helps you move forward.

Your Injury. Your Story. Your Justice
Exceptional firm! They are excellent in all the areas of law that they practice. They did an amazing job assisting my parents with their affairs in their elder years and are incredible personal injury attorneys. Our family has been using them for almost 20 years now and it’s proven to have been the best decision we ever made…
Heavy trucks and active construction zones change the stakes. A crash involving a tractor-trailer or an injury on a downtown building can leave you facing serious medical care, time away from work, and a long paper trail. Our job is to connect the pieces, build a strategy that takes into account the full scope of your injuries, and press your claim under Massachusetts law.
Trucking cases hinge on fast evidence work. Many carriers deploy rapid-response teams within hours. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations on hours-of-service, inspection and maintenance, and load securement often determine liability. When a crash occurs on or near port property or airport cargo areas, reports from Massachusetts State Police commercial enforcement and Massport security can add key facts about speed, weight, and route permissions.
Work-site injury claims have a different path. You may receive workers’ compensation through the Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA), but you can still bring a third-party negligence lawsuit against non-employer entities such as general contractors, subcontractors, equipment owners, site safety consultants, or delivery vendors. We look for failures involving fall protection, trenching and excavation, crane operations, electrical safety, and site housekeeping standards. OSHA inspection files, citations, and witness statements often show how preventable the event was.
From subpoenas for ECM data and site-safety manuals to retaining accident reconstruction and vocational economists, every step aims at a result that reflects your real losses. If an insurer pushes a low offer, we stand ready to pursue litigation.
If a tractor-trailer crash or a construction injury in Boston has turned your world upside down, Colucci, Colucci & Marcus, P.C. is ready to step in. We can secure and preserve critical records, work with your treatment providers, and file your case within the required deadlines.
