Personal Injury

JOHNSON & ACETO, LLP has extensive experience in the area of personal injury. Personal injury law is the area of law which provides compensation to victims or survivors of injury, harm, damage or death. The right to recover damages for such injury or harm stems from the long-standing principle that victims should not be forced to bear the burden of loss caused by another’s misconduct.

The personal injury practice group is dedicated to providing first-class legal representation at reasonable rates, while providing the proper attention and responsiveness that a client deserves. The group tries cases in the state and federal courts of Massachusetts, Connecticut, and California, as well as several other states, and has significant experience participating in alternative dispute resolution venues, such as arbitration and mediation.

The personal injury practice group provides representation for victims and survivors of injuries caused by various types of accidents and incidents. Some of Johnson & Aceto, LLP’s recent matters include injuries resulting from negligent maintenance of public premises, nightclub altercations and motor vehicle accidents. The recovery in a personal injury case may include compensation for physical and emotional pain, lost wages and medical bills, scarring and disfigurement and/or the death of a family member.

Gregory J. Aceto, head of the practice group, has been a trial attorney for fifteen (15) years, the first two of which were as an attorney at the law firm of Paul, Hastings, Janofsky and Walker in Los Angeles, California and more than three (3) subsequent years as an associate at the Law Offices of J. Albert Johnson & Associates in Boston, Massachusetts. He has successfully tried to a jury complex commercial disputes in the Superior Courts of Essex, Middlesex, Plymouth and Suffolk Counties in Massachusetts. He has also litigated matters and conducted discovery in the federal and state courts of ten (10) other states, including Nevada, Florida, Rhode Island, New York, Colorado, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Hampshire and two (2) countries, the United Kingdom and France.
