Motor-Vehicle Accidents

If you or a loved one are injured, you need the advice of an experienced legal team.

Have you ever seen people driving while simultaneously talking on their cell phones, grooming themselves in the mirror or arguing with kids in the back seat? These unsafe acts are as common as the millions of motor-vehicle accidents that happen each year. According to the U.S. Census 2011 Statistical Abstract, over 23 million people were killed or injured in motor-vehicle accidents. O'Malley & Langan handles cases involving car, truck and motorcycle accidents.

Our personal injury attorneys have the resources and background required to help you recover, physically and financially. You should know that the law allows you to be compensated for loss of wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering and mental anguish. To make up for lost income, cover vehicle repair, and pay for current and future hospital bills, we work hard to be sure that you and your family receive the highest possible amount of compensation.

After being involved in a car accident while riding in a company car driven by a co-worker, one of our clients was told by an insurance company that she could only recover payment of medical bills and actual lost wages. On her behalf, O'Malley & Langan recovered significant damages for pain and suffering, as well as lost wages and medical expenses.

O'Malley & Langan also represented a husband and wife who were injured in a multi-car pile-up. The wife suffered severe injuries 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 the case to a jury. Attorney Todd O'Malley and Mary Walsh-Dempsey tried the case for two days before obtaining a six-figure settlement.

Motor vehicle accidents are the most common type of personal injury claim. Claims arising from these accidents are often based on the theory of negligence. To prove that the defendant's negligent actions were the cause of an accident, the plaintiff in the case must show that the defendant failed to exercise "reasonable care" to prevent it. Traffic laws, witnesses, police reports and other tools are often used to prove fault. Those found guilty of negligent action in a motor-vehicle accident may be liable for damages.

Motorcycle riders who are hit by a car or truck usually sustain serious injuries that can severely affect a victim's quality of life or that of their caregiver. When a helmet is not in use, a rider may suffer a traumatic brain injury. At O'Malley & Langan, we have repeatedly demonstrated our exceptional ability to represent individuals with this specific type of injury. We recognize mild traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and help our clients get the care and treatment necessary to restore them to their pre-accident level of health. While insurance companies make a concerted effort to ignore these types of claims, we are relentless – and have a proven track record of success - in generating significant compensation for our clients.

If you or a loved one has been harmed in a motor-vehicle accident, call O'Malley and Langan. We can help you determine if another driver's negligent actions were to blame, present your case to the insurance companies and fight for the compensation you deserve.
