At Massey & Duffy, PLLC, our personal injury practice is dedicated to handling cases that involve severe or disabling injuries, whether physical or psychological, or wrongful death. These injuries may result from motor vehicle negligence, unsafe premises, inadequate security, sexual abuse, professional malpractice, or defamation. We understand the devastating impact an injury can have on your body, mind, or reputation, and we fight aggressively to secure fair compensation for you.

We are proud to have helped many families devastated by wrongful death, disability, or financial hardship due to someone else's negligence. If you or a loved one has suffered serious harm, we are here to help you obtain the compensation and justice you deserve.

Act Fast: Delay Can Harm Your Case

In personal injury cases, delay is your enemy. You must act promptly to avoid jeopardizing your case. ALWAYS consult an attorney before making any statements to the police or insurance companies. Immediate legal assistance is crucial for preserving evidence and interviewing key witnesses.

Scientific Case Evaluation

We provide clients with a computer-generated actuarial analysis based on a nationwide database of over 100,000 cases. This report helps assess the likelihood of success at trial, factoring in elements such as liability, the severity of injuries, and lost wages. While this report is a helpful tool, it does not replace professional judgment.

We Litigate Large Claims

Unlike other firms, we are highly selective in the cases we take. We focus on handling a small number of large claims, representing clients with catastrophic or near-catastrophic injuries, including:

  • Wrongful death

  • Paralysis

  • Brain injury

  • Spinal cord injury

  • Blindness

  • Amputation

  • Burns

  • Scarring

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

We also handle cases involving aggravated liability, such as drunk driving accidents and deliberate misconduct. Our goal is to settle cases without a trial, but when necessary, we pursue formal legal action to ensure fair compensation.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Many personal injury cases stem from motorcycle, truck, or car accidents. We handle cases involving:

  • Drunk driving

  • Rear-end collisions

  • Hit and run

  • Wrongful death

  • Pedestrians and passengers

If you or a loved one has been injured in an auto accident, we will take on the insurance companies while you focus on recovery.

Unsafe Buildings, Swimming Pools, and Parking Lots

Thousands of people are injured or killed each year due to negligent design, operation, and maintenance of buildings and adjacent areas. Common examples include negligent security, failure to warn, failure to limit access to dangerous conditions, and failure to repair building defects. We represent victims of premises liability in cases involving:

  • Slips and falls causing severe injury

  • Drownings

  • Electrocutions

  • Physical attacks by intruders
