We Can Help
Proven Success in High-Stakes Cases
Catastrophic injuries reshape lives physically, emotionally, and financially. Insurance companies and other liable parties often work to limit payouts, but Sullivan & Sullivan LLP fights to secure the full compensation our clients deserve. Over the past 20 years, we have obtained more than $400 million on behalf of individuals and families facing devastating losses. In 2025, we secured a $45 million settlement in a wrongful death case involving a commercial vehicle—the largest personal injury settlement in the commonwealth’s history.
Our cases include wrongful death and serious injury resulting from construction negligence, defective products, medical malpractice, major commercial vehicle accidents, and other catastrophic events. We have also built national expertise securing accountability from table-saw manufacturers, guardrail companies, and insurers.
The verdicts and settlements below, as well as selected case stories, demonstrate our success in securing justice for those we represent.
