Luiz delivers dedicated representation to individuals injured by negligence. Raised in Dartmouth, attorney Russell D. Luiz earned his law degree from the University of Massachusetts School of Law and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 2013.

Comprehensive Representation for Motor Vehicle Collisions
Automobile collisions on busy South Coast corridors like Interstate 195, Route 140, Kings Highway, and Coggeshall Street frequently cause catastrophic harm. As dedicated car accident lawyers, truck accident lawyers, and motorcycle accident lawyers, attorney Luiz investigates crash scenes, gathers police reports, analyzes vehicle telemetry, and consults medical specialists to prove liability. The firm handles a wide variety of motor vehicle claims:
- High-impact rear-end collisions, broadside impacts, and rollover accidents involving reckless drivers
- Commercial truck and delivery van crashes requiring compliance audits of federal safety rules
- Motorcycle and bicycle collisions caused by distracted or negligent motorists
- Pedestrian injuries in crosswalks, school zones, and parking areas across New Bedford
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims to secure maximum available insurance payouts
Slip and Fall, Premises Liability, and Dog Bite Claims
Property owners are legally required to maintain safe conditions for visitors. Operating as slip and fall injury lawyers and premises liability attorneys, Russ Luiz holds commercial landlords and businesses accountable for wet floors, icy walkways, and defective handrails. Additionally, as dog bite injury lawyers, the firm uses Massachusetts strict liability laws to obtain compensation for medical care and trauma caused by dangerous animals.
Workers Compensation and Workplace Injury Advocacy
Workplace injuries create urgent financial uncertainty. As workers compensation lawyers, the firm helps injured employees secure disability benefits, medical coverage, and lump-sum settlements before the Department of Industrial Accidents, while evaluating third-party liability to maximize recovery.
Social Security Disability and Vaccine Injury Litigation
Beyond standard negligence cases, attorney Russell Luiz handles specialized claims including Social Security Disability appeals for individuals facing permanent medical impairments. Furthermore, admitted to practice before the United States Court of Federal Claims, Russ represents clients nationwide in vaccination injury claims under the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, ensuring injured individuals receive fair federal compensation.
Wrongful Death Claims and Fair Settlement Negotiations
When negligence leads to fatal harm, our wrongful death lawyers pursue dignified justice for grieving families, recovering funeral costs and replacing lost financial contributions.
