Altman & Altman LLP is a personal injury law firm based in Massachusetts. They’ve been around for over 50 years and have helped thousands of people during some of the hardest times in their lives.
They’re located in Cambridge and Boston, but they help people across the whole state. The lawyers at Altman & Altman work with folks who’ve been hurt in accidents—whether it happened on the road, at work, in a hospital, or on someone else’s property.
They don’t try to do every kind of law. They focus on personal injury. That’s what they know best, and it’s what they’ve been doing for decades.
What Altman & Altman LLP Does Best
Altman & Altman LLP handles injury cases. These are situations where someone got hurt and it wasn’t their fault. Maybe it was a car crash, or a mistake at a hospital. Maybe it was a slippery floor in a store or an unsafe work site.
Here are just some of the case types they handle:
Auto accidents (cars, trucks, motorcycles)
Slip and fall accidents
Workplace injuries
Medical malpractice
Dog bites
Pedestrian and bike accidents
Nursing home neglect or abuse
Construction site injuries
Wrongful death
Defective products
They also help with workers’ compensation, which can be tricky to deal with when you're injured on the job.
Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents
If you’ve ever been in a crash, you know how fast life can change. One minute you’re driving, and the next you’re in pain, your car is damaged, and the bills start showing up.
Altman & Altman has handled thousands of these cases. They know how to deal with insurance companies that try to pay less than you deserve. They can also help if the other driver didn’t have insurance or if you were injured while riding as a passenger.
They’ll make sure your medical bills, lost wages, and car repair costs are taken care of—and they’ll guide you through every step so you don’t feel lost.
Slip and Fall Cases
Slipping on a wet floor or icy walkway may not seem like a big deal—until you’re the one who’s hurt. These accidents can cause broken bones, back problems, or head injuries.
The truth is, many slip and fall accidents happen because someone didn’t take care of their property. That could be a grocery store, an apartment building, or even a restaurant.
Altman & Altman looks at what happened, finds out who was responsible, and works to get you the compensation you need to recover.
Injuries at Work
Workplace injuries are more common than most people think. Whether you hurt your back lifting something heavy, fell off a ladder, or developed a repetitive stress injury, Altman & Altman can help.
They deal with workers’ compensation claims and help injured workers get proper medical treatment, wage replacement, and job protection.
If your employer or the insurance company is giving you a hard time, this firm knows how to stand up for you.
Medical Mistakes
When you go to the doctor or hospital, you expect to get better—not worse. But sometimes medical mistakes happen.
Altman & Altman handles cases where a doctor, nurse, or hospital made a serious error. These can include:
Misdiagnosis
Surgical errors
Birth injuries
Incorrect medications
Failure to treat an illness in time
These cases take time and a lot of evidence. But Altman & Altman has the experience to get to the bottom of what happened and fight for what’s right.
Dog Bite Injuries
A dog might be man’s best friend, but even good dogs can bite. If you or your child has been bitten by a dog, Altman & Altman can help.
Dog bites can cause scars, infections, and even emotional trauma. This law firm works to make sure victims get their medical costs covered, along with pain and suffering. They also understand that kids who’ve been bitten may need extra support or counseling, and they fight for that, too.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Walking or biking should be safe. But when drivers aren’t paying attention, accidents happen—and it’s often the biker or pedestrian who ends up hurt.
Altman & Altman has helped many people who were hit while crossing the street, riding their bike to work, or jogging in their neighborhood.
They know how to handle these serious cases and can help clients recover damages for injuries, therapy, lost income, and more.

Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse
When someone puts a loved one in a nursing home, they expect them to be treated with kindness and care. Sadly, that’s not always what happens.
Altman & Altman helps families who discover that their parents or grandparents were being neglected or mistreated. Signs can include bedsores, bruises, unexplained weight loss, or even fear of certain staff members.
The firm investigates and makes sure these homes are held responsible.
Construction and Job Site Injuries
Construction jobs are dangerous. There’s heavy equipment, tools, scaffolding, and power lines. If something goes wrong, workers can get seriously hurt.
Altman & Altman helps workers who’ve fallen from ladders, gotten crushed by equipment, or been exposed to dangerous chemicals. They also help families who’ve lost someone due to a fatal construction accident.
They work fast to preserve evidence, speak with witnesses, and build a strong case.
Wrongful Death Cases
When someone dies because of someone else’s mistake, it’s heartbreaking. Families are left with grief, questions, and sometimes, no idea where to turn.
Altman & Altman helps those families. They provide support while working to get justice. That can mean compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional toll of losing a loved one.
These cases are handled with great care and compassion.

Real Testimonial
“When my daughter was injured in a car accident, I was completely overwhelmed. The other driver blamed her, even though it wasn’t her fault. We had hospital bills piling up and no idea what to do.
I called Altman & Altman, and they listened. They didn’t talk down to me or make promises they couldn’t keep. They just got to work.
They handled everything—from talking to the insurance companies to helping us get a rental car. They even checked in to see how my daughter was healing.
In the end, we got a settlement that covered everything and gave us peace of mind. I’ll never forget how they made us feel during such a hard time.”– Michelle T., Medford, MA
