Hope is on the Horizon
Maximum Recovery. Minimum Stress
Horizon Injury Lawyers represents injured people in Brockton, Massachusetts. We handle car and truck crashes, motorcycle and pedestrian injuries, slip and fall cases, dog bites, work injuries, and medical malpractice claims for Brockton residents. Attorney David Reservitz was born and raised in Brockton and has practiced law here for over 25 years.
Dave grew up here. He went to school in this city, built his practice here, served as President of the Plymouth County Bar Association, and sat on the governing board of the Boys & Girls Club of Brockton. When he says he knows the Brockton courts, he means he has been walking into them since the 1990s.
Our team serves Brockton clients in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, and Cape Verdean Creole — which matters in a city where a large share of residents speak a language other than English at home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does hiring a personal injury attorney cost?
Nothing upfront. Horizon Injury Lawyers works on a contingency fee basis — we only get paid if we win your case. You owe nothing unless and until we recover money for you.
How long will my case take?
Most personal injury cases settle within 6 to 18 months, depending on the severity of your injuries and how quickly you reach maximum medical improvement. Horizon's Salesforce-powered case management system keeps your case moving on a structured timeline so nothing falls through the cracks.
How much is my case worth?
Every case is different. The value depends on your medical bills, lost wages, the severity and permanence of your injuries, and the available insurance coverage. We will give you an honest assessment during your free consultation — not a number designed to get you signed.
What should I do right after an accident?
Get medical treatment first. Call 911 if anyone is injured. Take photos if you safely can. Get the other driver's information. Do not speak with any insurance company (yours or theirs) before calling us. Call Horizon Injury Lawyers at (617) 765-2002 — we are available 24/7.
Do I need a police report to have a case?
Not necessarily, but a police report helps significantly. If you haven't filed one and your accident just happened, you may be able to request one through the responding police department. We can help you obtain it.
What if I already went to the ER after my accident?
That is actually a strong starting point. Emergency room records documenting your injuries are important evidence. The key next step is to continue treating — gaps in treatment are the most common way insurance companies reduce settlement value.
What if I waited too long to see a doctor?
See a doctor immediately if you haven't already. Delays in treatment create gaps that insurance companies use to argue your injuries were not serious or were caused by something else. Call us today — waiting longer only makes it harder.
Will I have to go to court?
The vast majority of personal injury cases — over 90% — settle before trial. However, Horizon is fully prepared to take cases to court when necessary, and insurance companies know it. Our trial readiness is part of why we recover stronger settlements.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Massachusetts follows comparative negligence law. You can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault, as long as you were less than 51% responsible. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Call us to discuss the specifics of your situation.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?
You may still have options. Your own auto insurance policy may include Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage, which can pay for your injuries caused by an uninsured driver. We will review all available coverage and fight for every dollar available to you.
Can you help me with property damage and a rental car?
Yes. Horizon assists with property damage claims and rental car coordination as a courtesy to our clients. You should not have to navigate that alone while dealing with injuries. Mention it on your first call and we will get it moving.
How do I find a doctor if I don't have one?
We can connect you with experienced local medical providers who understand personal injury cases and will give you the care you need. You do not need to figure this out on your own — accessing quality treatment is one of the first things we handle.
How do I get to medical appointments if I can't drive?
We can help coordinate transportation to medical appointments. Let us know your situation on your first call and we will work through solutions with you.
How will you keep me informed about my case?
You will have a dedicated case manager who contacts you on a regular schedule — every two weeks for the first three months, then monthly until your case is resolved. You will always know where your case stands. We use a client management system that tracks every update in real time.
Do I need to come to your office?
No. We can meet virtually, by phone, or we will come to you. If you are unable to travel due to injuries, just let us know. Our Brockton office is open for in-person meetings, but it is never required.
What is the deadline to file a personal injury claim in Massachusetts?
In most personal injury cases, Massachusetts law gives you three years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. However, cases involving government entities have much shorter deadlines — sometimes as little as six months. Call us immediately so we can protect your rights from day one.
What if I have a workers' compensation case?
Workers' compensation cases are handled differently from personal injury claims. Horizon handles work injury cases and can advise you on whether you may have claims under both workers' comp and personal injury law, depending on the circumstances of your injury.
