A recent study reported that Boston is the 7th most congested metropolitan area in the nation with drivers spending 14% of their time behind the wheel in heavy traffic. Living in Dover, Massachusetts means commuting for those who work in Boston. It also means fighting traffic congestion for those who opt to drive instead of taking MBTA’s buses or trains, also contributing to high traffic accident rate in the Greater Boston area.

How We Can Assist You After a Car Accident in Dover
Sometimes being involved in a motor vehicle accident doesn’t uproot our lives in inconvenient ways and we heal quickly from minor injuries without having to take legal action. Unfortunately, in other case of catastrophic, severe, or fatal injuries, we need to hand over the reins to an experienced car accident attorney to file insurance claims and initiate a lawsuit. Here are some of ways that Michael Kelly can help you after a car accident in Dover:
-
Investigation
We need to have all the information about your accident to build your case. We will gather necessary documentation including police reports and medical files, take witness statements, and gather any other evidence that supports your claim.
-
Consultation
A strong car accident case requires expert testimony to support the facts of your case. We will reach out to specialists such as those who reconstruct accident and life care planners to explain your accident, determine liability, and valuate your losses.
-
Negotiation
After a car accident, insurance companies will offer you quick and easy settlements to put your case to rest so they might not have to pay out larger claims or damages later on. We will negotiate with insurance companies and handle all communication with the defense, so you can focus on healing.
-
Litigation
Sometimes settlement is not an option because the defense does not want to offer you full and fair compensation for your injuries. In this case, we are prepared to aggressively litigate to seek the best outcome for your case.
Steps After an Auto Accident in Dover
If you have been involved in a motor vehicle accident in Dover, we suggest that you follow our accident checklist to ensure that you avoid some common pitfalls, but here are some highlights:
- See a doctor ASAP. Your health and safety is top priority; even if you don’t think that you need medical attention, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. Some injuries, especially brain injuries, don’t show with symptoms for hours, days, or longer. Getting checked out immediately will prevent insurance companies from claiming that you had preexisting injuries. You can make an appointment with your regular physician or head to nearby Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Needham.
- Take photos. Use your cell phone to take photos of the accident scene if possible, including vehicles, license plates, and anything else that might be useful for your case. Also, document your injuries and their changes with photos.
- Don’t post on social media. It’s best to only speak with your lawyer about your case, but you especially should not post about your car accident on social media. Insurance investigators and those who work for the defense might try to take something that you’ve shared and use it against you, reducing your chances for a full settlement or verdict in your favor.
