Wherever You Are in the U.S., We're Ready to Help

The trial attorneys of THE KAPLAN/BOND GROUP are dedicated to one thing: providing a means of recovery for injured working women, men and their affected families.

Though we also represent commercial national and international shipping interests in litigation and transactional maritime law, our primary focus is on representing the personal injury cases of working women and men of New England.

We believe that rights don't begin or end with a U.S. passport. ALL injured workers, including visitors, U.S. citizens and "undocumented" workers or residents, may be eligible for accident benefits under both state and federal law.

Our clients include:

  • Commercial fishermen
  • Longshoremen
  • Merchant seamen
  • Construction workers
  • Victims of defective products
  • Victims of negligent property owners
  • Families who have lost loved ones in fatal negligence accidents

Our areas of practice are as diverse as our clientele:

Admiralty and maritime law

Personal Injury

Construction site injuries

Pharmaceutical injuries

From our offices in Boston and New Bedford, Massachusetts, our trial lawyers provide legal advice and representation for clients throughout New England and nationwide.

$32,500 SETTLEMENT OBTAINED IN A SEAMAN’S WAGE CLAIM
Vessel owner failed to make a written fishing agreement with the plaintiff seamen prior to leaving port as the law requires. Without a written agreement, under the current law, the seamen were entitled to the highest rate of pay at the port. Because the seamen deckhands were paid less than the full share received by other deckhands on the vessel, The Kaplan/Bond Group was able to obtain $32,500.

Stewart v. Dutra Landmark Case Our most recent landmark victory was achieved before the United States Supreme Court in the case of Stewart v. Dutra Const. Co. The ruling we achieved changed the law and expanded the rights of injured seamen nationwide.

Convincing Hi-Tech Presentations
We’re not merely on the cutting edge of multimedia trial advocacy – we forge it. Our multimedia approach to trial advocacy goes far beyond a picture being worth a thousand words. Our presentation techniques incorporate the use of 3D animation, “60-minute” style witness interviews, and meticulous legal writing to hit hard and severely diminish the insurance companies’ ability to defend against the truth. We have been complimented by judges, adversaries, and even the insurance adjusters that run the defense leading to favorable results and courtroom victories.
