Personal Injury & Wrongful Death
Whenever a person has been injured as a result of the negligence, carelessness, recklessness, or wrongful conduct of another person, the victim has a personal injury claim. These claims can take numerous forms (as shown below); however, the Massachusetts personal injury lawyer at McManus Law have the knowledge and experience to help you successfully navigate them all. We handle serious personal injury claims in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire.
Victims of personal injuries and families of those who have been killed by the wrongful conduct of another are entitled to fair compensation under our law. Fair compensation includes past medical expenses, future medical expenses, lost wages, and lost earning capacity. More importantly, fair compensation includes compensation for the effect of an injury on the victim or family. These intangible losses include pain and suffering, disability, and loss of life’s enjoyment. Although these are often the most important losses in a personal injury or wrongful death case, these are the losses that the insurance companies will attempt to minimize. I do not let insurance companies profit from this tactic.
Personal Injury Representation
I handle personal injury and wrongful death cases in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Hampshire.
Many law firms advertise a team approach to personal injury cases. This typically means that they employ numerous paralegals to handle most aspects of a case. I do not believe in this philosophy. I believe that victims and families are entitled to direct communication with a lawyer who is intimately aware of every aspect of their case and is actively fighting to maximize their recovery. To this end, I do not employ paralegals. Because I offer this level of personal service as a personal injury lawyer, I am extremely selective with the cases that I accept. This enables me to ensure that each client and each case receives the level of care and attention that it deserves.
If I accept your personal injury or wrongful death case, you will enter into a contingent fee agreement. This means that you will pay no legal fee unless and until your case is successfully resolved. In the extremely unlikely case that there is not a successful resolution, you pay no fee.
Types of Personal Injury Cases
Although each type of case and specific case can be very different, all personal injury cases share at least two things in common. (1) A victim has been harmed or killed because someone else wasn’t careful, and (2) the insurance company for the at-fault person is looking for every excuse to get out of their obligation to provide fair compensation to the victim or victim’s family.
As a personal injury attorney, I take on the role of victim advocate. In that role, I assist my clients in overcoming the personal tragedy of serious personal injury and wrongful death cases while aggressively pursuing every means of recovery against the responsible parties. I do not let insurance companies evade their obligations. If the responsible insurance company is unreasonable, your case will be tried. Justice will be done.
