Helping Victims of Newton Car Accidents and their Families
Newton is a special place, home to families who for generations have flocked to its quiet neighborhoods and top-flight public schools. But, like any town bordering a major metro area, Newton also faces problems with traffic and congestion. Moving at a crawl along Walnut Street during evening rush hour, whether hoping to make to the second half of a kid’s lacrosse game Newton North, or waiting for an opening to zip into the Whole Foods parking lot, might as well be a local tradition. Unfortunately, when frustrations boil over in a tie-up, or a driver gets distracted by a text, accidents can happen and innocent people get hurt.
When tragedy strikes in the form of a car accident, Newton residents have a reliable legal resource in Attorney Michael Kelly, the founder of Michael Kelly. Attorney Kelly graduated with honors from New England Law School, where he was on the law review. After receiving his J.D., he could have decided to work for white-shoe Boston firm, but instead, he chose to focus his practice on helping victims of Boston-area accidents whose lives have turned upside down through no fault of their own. Client service forms the cornerstone of Attorney Kelly’s practice. He takes the time to meet with his clients one-on-one, answers the phone when they call, and offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee of the quality of his services.

Delivering Client-Centered Legal Services
At Michael Kelly, we know how disruptive a car accident can be. We don’t expect victims or their families to call us the moment an accident happens, nor do we want them to. Seeking medical care and taking time to heal is always a first priority. But, we do encourage our future clients to reach out to us as soon as they’re ready to meet. Time is of the essence in Massachusetts car accident cases, and we want to give our clients the best shot at compensation by:
-
Conducting a thorough investigation
Our car accident representations frequently involve gathering and analyzing evidence that may help us, and a jury, determine who is at fault for our clients’ injuries. We may visit accident scenes, speak with witnesses, and collect reports from law enforcement. We always take the time to meet with our clients face-to-face and to keep lines of communication open and transparent.
-
Preparing detailed cases
Attorney Kelly is a trial lawyer first and foremost. He knows the value of preparing every case as if he will need to present it to a jury. That means preparing detailed case files that cover every legal and factual angle. In developing theories of liability, he may engage with experts in the fields of accident reconstruction or medical treatment, among others.
-
Negotiating settlements
It is not uncommon for a car accident case to resolve through mutual settlement. We routinely communicate with insurance companies and opposing counsel to explore the possibility of achieving favorable outcomes for our clients before trial. We’re proud to have recovered settlements totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars on behalf of clients injured in car accidents.
-
Going to trial
Of course, not all cases can settle before trial. When taking our case to a judge and jury serves our client’s interests, we’re more than ready to do so. Our careful case preparation and client-centered approach shine in the courtroom.
When clients choose Michael Kelly to represent them in a car accident matter, they get a compassionate, determined advocate whose first priority is achieving the best possible outcome for them and their families.

Steps to Take After Your Newton Car Accident
After sustaining an injury in a Newton-area car accident because of someone else’s negligence or recklessness, it can help for victims to take the steps detailed in our accident checklist in order to protect their rights to fair and just compensation. These steps include:
- Obtaining Timely Medical Care. At Michael Kelly, we want our clients as healthy as possible. Timely medical records may also help prove the scope and severity of injuries.
- Any documents that may help show the expense and financial burden a car accident caused may well prove valuable in a later lawsuit.
- Obtaining an accident report. Victims can obtain a copy of their accident report at this Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles website, or from the Newton Police Department.
- Avoiding “quick” settlements. Insurance adjusters sometimes try to convince victims to accept “quick” settlements in exchange for waivers of further liability. Never accept these officers before speaking with an attorney.
