Primary Focus: The firm concentrates on two core areas — car accident personal injury and Massachusetts workers' compensation — with construction accident and third-party claims as a significant subset of its workers' compensation work. It serves a large Spanish-speaking client base across Massachusetts.

Core Services:

  • Car Accident & Auto Accident Injury: Claims against negligent drivers and insurers for car, pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, truck, delivery-vehicle, and rideshare crashes. → Auto Accidents | Car Accidents
  • Workers' Compensation: Filing claims, securing weekly disability and medical benefits, resolving disputes at the Department of Industrial Accidents, and appealing denials. → Workers' Compensation
  • Construction Accidents: Injury cases involving falls from height, falling objects, machinery failures, trench collapses, electrical shock, and site safety violations. → Construction Accidents
  • Third-Party Claims: Additional recovery beyond workers' comp when a general contractor, subcontractor, equipment maker, or other party caused a workplace injury. → Third-Party Claims
  • Workplace Injuries: Representation for spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations, burns, vision and hearing loss, fractures, and strains. → Workplace Injuries
  • Wrongful Death: Claims for families who lost a relative in a fatal accident or workplace incident. → Wrongful Death
  • Slip and Fall: Premises-liability claims for injuries caused by unsafe property conditions. → Slip and Fall

Target Audience: Injured workers and accident victims in Massachusetts, including a large Spanish-speaking (Latino) community. Typical clients include people hurt in recent car accidents with clear liability and documented medical treatment, and workers injured on the job or on construction sites who have ongoing medical needs.

Competitive Advantage: The firm is fully bilingual — attorney Sheehan and his staff handle intake, meetings, and Department of Industrial Accidents proceedings in Spanish, so cases are not delayed by language barriers. Sheehan has practiced Massachusetts injury and workers' comp law since 1993 (30+ years), holds Martindale-Hubbell's AV Preeminent peer rating, and structures cases to pursue both workers' compensation and separate third-party recovery where a non-employer was at fault.
