How Our Watertown Personal Injury Lawyers Can Help

Michael Kelly Injury Lawyers is a client-centered firm. We make listening to our clients and learning about their lives our priority. And then we roll up our sleeves and get to work.

We have years of experience investigating and litigating personal injury claims on behalf of Watertown residents and their families. When we work with a client, our mission is to recover the maximum compensation our client deserves from insurance companies and the at-fault party for their injuries.

Our personal injury and motorcycle accident lawyers often manage to reach a settlement without trial, but if that isn’t possible, we are prepared to present our clients’ cases to Middlesex County judges and juries. Attorney Michael D. Kelly is a trial attorney who isn’t afraid to fight for his clients’ rights.

We’re proud of the results we’ve achieved for our clients, including:

• $145,000 for a client injured in a pedestrian accident
• $100,000 for a client injured in a head-on collision
• $70,000 for a woman struck by a vehicle while crossing the street

The initial consultation for potential clients is always free. We also represent our clients on a “contingent fee” basis, meaning we do not get paid unless and until our clients recover financial compensation through a settlement or jury verdict.

Causes of Personal Injuries in Watertown

How these injuries happen can be as varied as the injuries themselves. But, some of the reasons that bring Watertown residents to us include:

1. Motor vehicle accidents: As anyone who has tried to merge onto Galen Street from Main Street at 8 a.m., or been blinded by the setting sun while heading home on Belmont knows, Watertown roads are congested and chaotic, and crashes happen here often. Our personal injury and truck accident law firm represent victims of single and multi-car accidents, truck accident cases, and motorcycle accidents, and the families of those who have tragically died in those incidents.
2. Pedestrian accidents: Crossing the street in Watertown shouldn’t be a dangerous exercise, but sometimes it is. After a pedestrian accident, our personal injury lawyers can help the victim take the necessary legal action.
3. Bicycle accidents: Many of Watertown’s residents bike to work and school. However, cyclists risk being hit by cars and trucks in motion and colliding with parked cars and trucks in “dooring” incidents. Such bicycle accidents can lead to catastrophic injury and death.
4. Boating accidents: Whether you’re rowing on the Charles or sailing in Boston Harbor, tragedy can strike on Boston-area waterways. We represent victims of accidental drownings and boating/jet ski collisions throughout the Boston metro area.
5. Public transportation accidents: Injured on the T or an MBTA bus? Seeking compensation from a local government agency for injuries sustained in a bus crash or an incident on the Green Line is no small task, but our team is up to the task.
6. Construction accidents: Like many Boston-area towns, Watertown has seen its share of new construction in the past few years. With those projects come tragic incidents on construction sites. Workers take falls from unsafe scaffolding, hit power lines with equipment, and suffer injuries from falling debris and unsafe machinery.
7. Unsafe property accidents: From a defective escalator to a slippery floor, visitors to other peoples’ properties run risks of taking a spill and suffering major injuries. Watertown property owners have an obligation to keep their businesses safe for their customers. When they fail to live up to that obligation, our personal injury attorneys are here to help the victims.
8. Dog attacks: Dog bites can leave Watertown residents, particularly young children who don’t know how to avoid and deal with a dangerous dog, with lifelong trauma and disfigurement. We know how to hold dog owners accountable for not keeping their neighbors safe.
9. Defective products: Manufacturers of the products we use every day have a duty to make sure those products are safe for ordinary use. When their products fail and cause an injury or tragic death, Massachusetts law gives victims the right to recover significant damages in a personal injury claim.
10. Slip-and-fall accidents: Slip-and-fall injuries can be disastrous for you and your loved ones. Every year, the CDC reports millions of injuries resulting from unintentional falls. They can cause a serious injury such as a fracture or a head injury, leading to expensive medical bills, lost wages, and possibly a long-term recovery.

We are personal injury and car accident lawyers local to the Boston area. We know Watertown like the back of our hand, especially the food. Watertown is a diverse, vibrant, and exciting place to live and work, and we’re proud to serve its residents day in and day out.

Attorney Michael D. Kelly graduated from New England Law School with honors. The National Trial Lawyers organization included him in its Top 40 Under 40 list of the best young lawyers in Massachusetts.

Instead, Attorney Kelly chose to fight on behalf of people in and around Watertown struggling to recover from unexpected injuries and tragedies. As a local Watertown personal injury lawyer, he meets with his clients one-on-one to learn — not just about their accidents and injuries, but how their lives have changed as a result.
