Catastrophic injury & wrongful death
Denner Lamanna prosecutes high-stakes personal injury and wrongful death claims in Massachusetts state courts and in federal court where diversity or federal-question jurisdiction supports the forum. We represent individuals and families after commercial trucking and aviation losses, occupational fatalities, structural collapses, premises violence, and hospital-system malpractice where life-care projections and economic loss units require expert integration.
Our approach assumes trial readiness from day one: discovery is sequenced to lock critical evidence, liability theories are tested against dispositive motion practice, and damages models are built to survive scrutiny from opposing experts and appellate panels.
Representative docket themes
- Wrongful death and survival actions involving multiple defendants, insurance stacks, and allocation of fault.
- Traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and amputation cases requiring vocational, life-care, and economist support.
- Commercial motor carrier and industrial accidents with federal regulatory overlays and electronic logging or maintenance records.
- Professional malpractice and institutional negligence where peer review, credentialing, and HIPAA-compliant discovery intersect.
- Mediation, arbitration, and structured settlements evaluated against verdict ranges and appellate risk.
Evidence, experts & damages
We move quickly on scene documentation, spoliation letters, and preservation of digital evidence. Expert teams are selected for deposition and trial credibility, not marketing brochures. Economic models tie past wage loss, future earnings capacity, household services, and consortium claims to the facts in the medical record.
Resolution posture
Negotiated resolutions are pursued when they align with client objectives, but we do not discount trial when liability or damages contests require a verdict. Insurance bad-faith and excess-exposure theories are evaluated where the record supports them.
