Your Story is More Than Just a Number

Few attorneys are truly able to understand and relate to the hardships accident victims suffer. Christopher DiBella, founding attorney of DiBella Law Injury and Accident Lawyers, remembers vividly as a child receiving the call no one ever hopes to receive, that his older brother was involved in a life-threatening car accident. He remembers the impact the accident had on the whole family.

At DiBella Law, we get that what you are going through after a catastrophic injury can never be undone by receiving money from a settlement or verdict. However, we will fight to obtain as much compensation as possible to help cover the costs of medical bills, lost wages from missed work, and future treatment costs — among many other non-economic costs that come in the aftermath of an accident.

Serving clients all throughout Massachusetts and New Hampshire, we have recovered millions of dollars for our deserving clients. Learn more about the people that we have helped and their stories below.
