It’s places like Malden that make Boston the thriving place it is. Named by Bloomberg in 2009 as one of the best places in the country to raise kids, Malden continues to attract families looking for good schools and a tight-knit sense of community. Unfortunately, the community isn’t the only thing that’s tight in Malden. So is traffic, a lot of the time. No matter which side of the Malden River you drive down for your commute south in the morning, you know how frequently tie-ups and accidents involving cars, cyclists, and pedestrians can happen in and around town. Some of them lead to life-threatening injuries.
Michael Kelly is a law firm that represents victims of Malden-area car accidents. We also represent the families of drivers and passengers who have tragically been a victim to wrongful death in those accidents. Our practice focuses on helping victims, and families recover compensation for their injuries and losses so that they can pay unexpected medical bills, make up for lost time at work, and move forward with their lives. When Malden residents and families suffer an injury or tragedy, we’re here to help.

Our Car Accident Practice
With the benefits Malden has to offer, it’s no surprise families flock here and stay here. This is a community where it’s not uncommon for grandmothers, mothers, and daughters to have attended the same high school, where lifelong friends meet up to throw bocce have a cup of coffee at the Lunch Box Diner. When a tragic car accident strikes, the community comes together to lend the victims a helping hand. And, so do we.

Legal Services We Routinely Provide
When we take a car accident victim on as a client at Michael Kelly, we understand they face challenges far beyond the legal issues they ask us to handle. Our clients are often struggling financially, or grieving a loss, or learning to live with a new disability. Our goal is to help them recover by doing our best to get them justice. We often:
-
Investigate
We commonly spend time at the beginning of a representation gathering and analyzing evidence that might help our clients obtain compensation. We visit accident scenes, interview witnesses, and gather police reports, but always start, first, by listening to our clients and understanding their needs and goals.
-
Prepare
We put in the effort necessary to prepare thorough and compelling cases on behalf of our clients, to give them the best chance of prevailing with an insurance company or in the courtroom.
-
Negotiate
When insurance companies call our clients with offers to settle a claim, we take over negotiations, making sure insurance adjusters do not take advantage. When a case goes to litigation, we handle communications with the opposing attorney, evaluating whether a case can be settled before trial.
-
Litigate
When a case cannot be settled favorably for our client, we often take their cases to judges and juries in Middlesex County. We know how to win on our feet in the courtroom, and we don’t shy away from making our arguments in the most forceful manner our clients’ cases deserve.
Our Suggestions for Car Accident Victims
After a Malden-area car accident, victims and their families can take steps to protect their legal rights and lay the groundwork for seeking justice. We’ve outlined those steps here. Some of the more important ones include:
- Seeking immediate medical treatment. Our clients should always focus on their health and wellbeing first. We encourage potential clients to contact us only after their most pressing medical needs have been addressed, if possible.
- Keeping complete records. Car accidents can take a huge financial toll. Bills might pile up. Instead of throwing them away, accident victims and their families should keep them in a file to give to their lawyer at the right time, as evidence of what the accident cost.
- Obtaining the accident report. Malden residents can obtain a copy of an accident report at this Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles website, or from the Malden Police Department.
- Staying off social media. Social media has become a place where insurance adjusters and opposing attorneys spend time trying to find posts or pictures that could help their clients show accident victims are not seriously injured, or families are recovering. It’s best for victims and families to stay off social media until a case has ended.
