About Waller Law Office, LLC

Waller Law Office handles personal injury Sharon cases with a credential that distinguishes Attorney Geoffrey Waller from most personal injury practitioners: he is a former Norfolk County prosecutor who supervised Wrentham District Court and led the Prison Litigation unit before transitioning to civil and criminal defense work. That courtroom background — built on major felony prosecutions from investigation through jury verdict — shapes how Waller approaches injury cases in Norfolk County.

Located at One Post Office Square in Sharon, the firm serves individuals throughout Norfolk County with a direct-attorney model where clients interact with Waller himself rather than being managed by support staff. His volunteer work as a trial advisor for Harvard Law’s Trial Advocacy Program reflects a commitment to courtroom craft that carries into civil litigation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Massachusetts’s no-fault auto insurance system affect a personal injury claim in Sharon?

Massachusetts requires all drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage of at least $8,000. After an accident, injured parties first claim PIP benefits from their own insurer regardless of fault. A tort claim against the at-fault driver becomes available once the injured person’s medical expenses exceed $2,000, or if the injury involves death, loss of a body part, significant disfigurement, or fracture. Norfolk County auto injury plaintiffs who clear the tort threshold can then pursue pain and suffering damages in addition to economic losses.

What is Massachusetts’s statute of limitations for personal injury claims?

Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 260, § 2A sets a three-year statute of limitations for most personal injury tort claims, running from the date of the injury. For claims against a government entity in Norfolk County — such as a town highway department for a road defect — a presentment letter under the Massachusetts Tort Claims Act must be filed within two years and satisfied before suit can be brought. Missing either deadline typically bars the claim entirely.

What is modified comparative negligence in Massachusetts personal injury cases?

Under Massachusetts’s modified comparative negligence rule (G.L. c. 231, § 85), an injured plaintiff can recover damages only if their share of fault is 50% or less. If the plaintiff is 51% or more at fault, recovery is barred completely. If the plaintiff is partially at fault but under the threshold, their damages are reduced by their percentage of fault — so a plaintiff found 30% at fault in a Norfolk Superior Court case recovers 70% of the total proved damages.
