Case 1:
In a car accident, while a passenger in a company car
driven by a co-worker, a client of O’Malley &
Langan was initially told she could only recover payment
of medical bills and actual lost wages by the insurance
company. O’Malley & Langan recovered significant
damages on her behalf for pain and suffering, as well
as her lost wages and medical expenses.
Case 2:
O’Malley & Langan represented a husband and
wife who were injured in a multi-car pile up on I-81
near Wilkes-Barre. The wife suffered severe injuries
as a result of the collision including Reflex Sympathetic
Dystrophy (RSD) of the arm. O’Malley & Langan
utilized the resources of an accident reconstructionist,
a retired State Trooper, an economist and numerous medical
doctors to prove their case to the jury. Attorney Todd
J. O’Malley and Mary D. Walsh-Dempsey tried the
case for two days before obtaining a six-figure settlement.
From the
moment of the accident, there are a million things
to think about: How do we make up the lost work
income? How are we going to pay the hospital and
recovery bills? What about transportation? How will
the accident affect our children? Should we get
a lawyer?
If you or a loved
one was injured in an automobile accident, you need
the advice of an experienced legal team. The personal
injury attorneys at O’Malley & Langan
have the resources and background you need to recover
from the accident physically and financially.
From lost income
and vehicle repair to current and future hospital
bills, our job is to make sure you and your family
are financially prepared to handle these injuries.
The law allows the injured victim to be compensated
for loss of wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering,
mental anguish; and in some cases punitive damages
will be awarded to punish the responsible party
if there is gross negligence.
Motorcycle
Accidents:
Victims who were riding a motorcycle and were hit
by a car or truck usually sustain serious, life-altering
injuries. Often, automobile drivers fail to recognize
the motorcyclist as having the same rights on the
road as everyone else, and that’s when accidents
happen. Motorcyclists face a far higher risk of
involvement in an injury-causing crash.
More than 80 percent
of all reported motorcycle crashes result in injury
or death to the motorcyclist. 50% of motorcycle
claimants have life-threatening injuries from which
some never recover.
Motorcycle injuries
are expensive because they tend to be serious and
have longer rehabilitation periods. If you or someone
you love is involved in a motorcycle accident, you
need O’Malley and Langan to make sure you
get all the compensation you deserve.
Head Injuries
We have repeatedly demonstrated our exceptional
qualifications in representing individuals who sustain
traumatic brain injuries as the result of motor
vehicle accidents. We recognize even mild traumatic
brain injuries (TBI) and help our clients get the
care and treatment necessary to help restore them
to their pre-accident level of health. We strive
to obtain significant compensation for victims of
TBI, which Insurance companies often attempt to
ignore. We have been successful in obtaining favorable
results for victims of TBI.
POSSIBLE DAMAGES If you’re injured in an motor vehicle
accident, your legal rights to compensation may
include:
Payment of medical
bills;
You may be entitled
to have your medical expenses, past and future,
paid including:
Hospitalization
Surgical procedures
Ongoing medical care
Counseling
Scar revision/Cosmetic surgery
Physical therapy
Occupational therapy
You may be entitled to have your lost wages, past
and future, paid;
You may be entitled to compensation to be re-trained
into a new job or occupation (vocational rehabilitation);
You may be entitled to compensation for the pain
and suffering you have endured and may continue
to endure as a result of your injury;
Loss of consortium;
The spouse of an injured person may be entitled
to compensation when an injury is so severe
that it interferes with the injured party's
spousal relations. The effected family member
may suffer a very real detriment. Many courts
recognize the right of the injured party's spouse
to recover in an appropriate case for a loss
of support, services, love, companionship, society,
affection, sexual relations and solace in the
form of a loss of consortium action. Loss of
consortium is a claim separate from the injury
victim's claim. It is unique to the injured
party's spouse and is compensable by separate
damages recovery.
Disfigurement; and
Any physical or mental impairment or disability.
