Catastrophic Injury

Covering a Lifetime of Needs

Brain Injury • Spinal Cord Injury • Other Permanent or Serious Injury

A claim arising from a disabling accident can easily reach hundreds of thousands or more than a million dollars to cover medical care, lost income and other damages.

At the Law Offices of Kelley & Trehub, we understand that these large numbers reflect real needs and actual losses of our clients. And we know that those numbers don't look so big when the money has to last for 10 years, 25 years or a lifetime.

Our proven trial lawyers are committed to securing the maximum compensation for a very serious injury. We are equipped for the considerable challenges of extracting full damages from hostile insurance companies.

Catastrophic Injury in Greater Boston and All Massachusetts

Our Wellesley, Massachusetts personal injury practice has represented clients who will not fully recover from a motor vehicle crash, work injury and other accident caused by negligence. We have secured verdicts and settlements for all types of permanent and serious injury:

• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal injury (paraplegia/quadriplegia/paralysis)
• Lost limbs/amputation
• Shattered bones
• Burn injury
• Severe disfigurement
• Organ damage
• Eye injury

We consult with medical professionals to determine the extent of disability and maximum recovery of function. Our clients commonly need reconstructive surgery or other operations, physical therapy, home nursing care, special home modifications or vehicles, medications and often psychological counseling to cope with the drastic impact.

We also bring in vocational experts and economists to determine what work the client can do (if any), and calculate the lost earning potential. Last but not least, we pursue damages for pain and suffering and the loss of chance for enjoyment of life.

Insurance Issues

Establishing liability is the first priority. We act quickly to preserve evidence and hire the necessary investigators and experts to prove negligence, including any third parties that share fault. We explore all sources of recoverable funds to compensate our clients fully — auto liability insurance and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, commercial liability, homeowner policies and excess/umbrella insurance.

Kelley and Trehub works with clients and their families throughout to answer questions and build a case by documenting treatment and the person's daily challenges. We are confident that our thoroughly supported claim will result in a fair injury settlement, but we are prepared to go to trial to get justice.

We Can Come to You

We offer a free consultation, including home or hospital visits for serious injury, or we can meet with family members in early morning, evening and Saturday appointments. The earlier we can investigate, the stronger your chances for full compensation. We take no attorney fees unless we secure compensation. Call 866-675-2081 or 781-489-3195 or contact us online.
