Car accidents are among the most common causes of injury, ranging from cuts and bruises to serious injuries such as spinal injuries and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). The Broderick Law Firm has extensive experience fighting for car accident victims who were hurt due to some else’s negligence.
Drunk Driving Crash – $250,000
55-year-old Mr. A was hit virtually head-on by a drunk driver. He suffered injuries to his chest, lower abdomen, low back and left hip and injury to a previously-repaired left shoulder. Mr. A underwent several procedures, including two procedures to repair his left hip and surgical reshaping of the thigh bone. He made an excellent recovery and was able to return to his previous career as a chef. Our firm obtained $250,000, the maximum available under the insurance coverage.
Motor Vehicle Back Injury – $215,000
81-year-old Ms. D had undergone lower back surgery just two weeks prior to the motor vehicle collision. As a result of the crash, she had to undergo another, more extensive surgical procedure to the same area of her spine, followed by extensive occupational therapy. She made an excellent recovery. Though the insurance carrier argued that many of her injuries were pre-existing, we were able to settle her claim for $215,000.
Head-on Crash – $165,000
Mrs. T was a passenger in a head-on motor vehicle collision. She was not wearing a seatbelt. She suffered a concussion, a 1.5-inch facial laceration, minor hearing loss and bruising to her right knee. The initial offer of $18,000 was rejected and we successfully arbitrated the claim, resulting in an award of $165,000.
Head-on Collision – $100,000
32-year-old Mr. P suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) when his vehicle was hit virtually head-on by another driver who crossed the double yellow line.

The insurance company offered $42,300 in total compensation, arguing that Mr. P had pre-existing PTSD and neck injuries as a result of his military service. We obtained the full $100,000 available under the insurance policy.
Rear-end Accident Settlement – $100,000
49-year-old Mr. P was injured when his automobile was rear-ended. He suffered a concussion, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a partial right shoulder labral and rotator cuff tear with impingement. The case was settled within six months, for the full amount of available insurance coverage.
Head-on Collision – $100,000
Mr. S was involved in a head-on collision, suffering a fracture to his forearm that did not heal properly and required surgical correction.

Since commercial trucks are so much larger and heavier than passenger cars, the damage to property and injury to occupants of the smaller vehicle can be more serious. The issues can also be more complicated. Attorney Kevin P. Broderick knows how to navigate the issues that make big truck crash cases more complex than standard motor vehicle accident claims.
Car v. Box Truck – $425,000
Mr. M was injured when the motor vehicle he was operating was T-boned by a box truck at an intersection. He suffered a fractured cervical vertebrae, several broken ribs, a shoulder separation and a fracture of the lateral right tibial plateau (the top of the shin bone), a concussion and lacerations to his scalp. Through mediation, we secured compensation of $425,000.
Tractor Trailer Accident – $185,000
60-year-old Ms. G was operating a motor vehicle that was T-boned by a tractor-trailer at an intersection. The tractor-trailer operator had run a stop sign.

27-year-old Miss M was injured while entering a vehicle that was stopped in the breakdown lane. Another vehicle struck hers from behind, partially pinning her under the vehicle.

Mrs. O was a pedestrian struck by the side mirror of a motor vehicle in a parking lot. She was knocked to the ground, causing a right shoulder dislocation. Initially, due to the facts surrounding the accident, the insurance company offered no compensation. We were able to secure a settlement of $55,000.
In most situations, property owners and those in control of property have a responsibility to keep that property reasonably safe for others who are on the property. The exact extent of the duty depends on why the person is visiting the property. If you’ve been injured because someone didn’t live up to this duty, you deserve fair compensation.
Slip and Fall Injury – $800,000
29-year-old Mr. K, a PhD student at University of Michigan Lowell, slipped and fell due to ice covering the entrance/exit to the building where he lives. The property is a newer development of 500 units with a faulty gutter system and drainage issues. Mr. K suffered a torsion injury to his left foot, causing his foot to turn out and in the opposite direction. He underwent two surgeries and multiple rounds of physical therapy, but still suffers from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Type 2, numbness and pain in different areas of his left foot, and extreme loss of motion in the lesser toes.
Premises Liability Settlement – $125,000
Mrs. E was a tenant who fell approximately 10 feet when the railing on her back porch suddenly broke free from the house.

Slip and Fall in a Store – $105,000
Mr. M was shopping in a Hannaford food store when he slipped on water and fell, severely injuring his shoulder and elbow. His injuries included a torn rotator cuff. Mr. M had injured the same shoulder three months earlier while sliding into 2nd base playing wiffle ball, and the insurance company denied that the fall caused the torn rotator cuff and offered a settlement of $30,000. Through expert testimony, we were able to show the insurer that the fall had caused the shoulder injury, resulting in a settlement of $105,000. Mr. M made a full recovery, including restoration of full strength and mobility in his shoulder.
Being injured on the job is different from other types of injuries. In most cases, you can’t sue your employer, but can only pursue a workers’ compensation claim. However, in certain circumstances, you may have direct claims against a third party. If you’ve been seriously injured at work, it’s important to consult a work injury lawyer before you settle your claim.

47-year-old Mr. M was injured while working on the “Big Dig” in Boston. The crane he was in was struck by another work vehicle, pushing him up and into the ceiling.

At mediation, we secured $430,000.
