The Massey & Duffy Difference: A Strategic Approach to Your Injury Claim

When the stakes are this high, you need more than just an attorney—you need a dedicated advocate with the skill to maximize your recovery. Here’s why clients trust us with their most serious injury cases:

1. Data-Driven Strategy to Maximize Your Compensation
We don't guess what your case is worth. We use a sophisticated, computer-generated actuarial analysis based on a nationwide database of over 100,000 injury cases. This scientific approach, combined with Michael Massey's background in finance and tax law, allows us to accurately project the full, lifelong costs of your injury—from future medical treatments and rehabilitation to lost earning capacity.

2. Focused, Personal Attention for Every Client
We are not a high-volume "settlement mill." Attorney Massey deliberately maintains a limited caseload to ensure every client receives the personal attention and resources their case deserves. You will work directly with him throughout the process, and he will be personally invested in your recovery and legal success.

3. Deep Litigation & Judicial Experience
Michael Massey’s background as a construction litigation attorney and a former judicial clerk gives him unique insight into how defendants, insurance companies, and the courts operate. We prepare every case as if it's going to trial, building a powerful, evidence-based argument that insurance companies take seriously.

We Understand the True Cost of a Serious Injury

Our firm recognizes that the impact of a catastrophic injury extends far beyond the initial hospital bills. We fight to secure compensation that covers the full scope of your losses, including:

  • Immediate Medical Expenses: Emergency care, surgeries, hospitalization, and diagnostic tests.

  • Long-Term Medical Needs: Ongoing therapy (physical, occupational, cognitive), future surgeries, prescription medications, and specialist consultations.

  • Adaptive Equipment: Costs for wheelchairs, prosthetics, home modifications, and assistive technology.

  • Lost Income & Earning Capacity: Compensation for time away from work and the diminished ability to earn a living in the future.

  • Pain, Suffering & Emotional Distress: Acknowledging the profound impact on your quality of life, including PTSD, anxiety, and loss of enjoyment.

Why You Must Act Quickly: Preserving Critical Evidence

The moments after an accident are critical. Evidence can disappear, witness memories can fade, and insurance companies may try to limit their liability. By contacting our firm immediately, we can take swift action to:

  • Preserve accident scene evidence and surveillance footage.

  • Secure detailed medical records and expert opinions.

  • Obtain official reports and witness statements.

  • Protect you from costly mistakes when dealing with insurers.
