Thomas M. Kiley & Associates, LLP – Massachusetts Personal Injury Lawyers – Motor Vehicle Accident Attorneys

Driving is an inherently dangerous activity. Because of the risk involved, we take the time and effort to strap our children into their car seats, to buy vehicles with high safety standards and features, and to drive defensively. However, even if we take every precaution and buckle every seatbelt, we cannot govern the actions of others on the roads.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there were 4,591 motor vehicles crashes in Massachusetts in 2005 that resulted in either fatalities or incapacitating injuries and 158,082 overall reported accidents.

Although a number of these accidents were due to conditions outside of anyone’s control, the majority of those 158,082 traffic accidents were due to a driver’s carelessness, recklessness, inattention, or neglect. A driver gets behind the wheel drunk and careens into your vehicle head on. An irresponsible speeding teen slams into your car at an intersection. A thoughtless driver neglects to see your motorcycle when switching lanes on an open highway.

The tragedy is that these bad decisions or small moments of inattention can lead to lifelong disabilities, permanent injuries, and financial ruin for those involved in the accident. One day you are driving your child across town to a baseball game, and the next you find yourself drowning in a flood of unpaid medical bills, unable to continue your career, and battling an array of persistent health and psychological issues.

Thomas M. Kiley and his team of talented attorneys can help you piece your life back together after your accident. To move on, you need financial support to pay your hospital and therapy costs, make up for your lost time at work, and compensate for your pain and suffering – let Kiley & Associates help you secure the help you both need and deserve.

Practicing out of Andover, Massachusetts and serving the greater Boston area as well as western Massachusetts, Kiley is known as the Million Dollar Man – a lawyer who tackles his cases and, more importantly, gets results. Over the last 30 years, Thomas Kiley and his legal team have worked with dozens of accident victims to settle their cases and bring peace back to their lives. Not only do they understand and recognize the pain and financial anxieties that you are facing right now, but they also understand how to go about righting these wrongs.

You can’t undo what has happened to you, but you can work toward receiving payment for being the victim of another person’s negligence and reclaim your life.

Serious car, truck, and motorcycle accidents happen everyday – each day around 14 people in Massachusetts will either die or be seriously injured while driving. How many of these people or their loved ones were not responsible for what happened to them? How many seek compensation for having their lives altered forever? How many victims stand up to claim what is rightfully theirs? How many don’t act at all?

Don’t try to handle the consequences of being involved in a serious auto accident alone. Let Kiley & Associates help you through this difficult time.
