Catastrophic Personal Injury

Injuries to Children: Attorney McCue has successfully handled many cases involving injured children. These cases have often involved automobile, bicycle, and boating accidents. When large settlements are obtained for young children, Attorney McCue will work with financial advisors to ensure monies are safely invested for a child's future. For example, Attorney McCue recently obtained a six figure settlement for a child bitten by a dog. The bulk of the ettlement was invested guaranteeing the child a fully funded college fund.

Tramautic Brain Injury: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is most often caused by a severe impact to the head, and it can result in lasting physical and mental problems. Emotional trauma often affects both victims and their loved ones. Because traumatic brain injuries are most often caused by accidents, they are often the fault of someone other than the victim. Automobile accidents are the most common cause of TBI. Other causes include falls, violence, and sports injuries. While people with minor head injuries often make full recoveries, people with severe traumatic brain injuries often face permanent disability or death. Many TBI patients require long-term rehabilitation beyond their initial medical care. Some may never be able to work again. As a result, many TBI victims and their families find themselves facing tremendous financial obstacles. Attorney McCue has handled several cases in this specialized field, and is committed to helping victims of traumatic brain injury receive compensation so that they can focus on healing. He will fight for you with tenacity, integrity and compassion. Attorney McCue is a member of the Massachusetts Brain Injury Association, an organization dedicated to the support of brain injury victims (http://www.mbia.net).

Wrongful Death: Losing a loved one is by far one of life's most difficult experiences, and when that death is caused by wrongful conduct, pain is often magnified. A drunk driver who kills a pedestrian; a speeding commercial truck driver who collides with a families van; a manufacturer whose failure to check a product's safety leads to a consumer death -- these are some examples of wrongful death cases. Attorney McCue's wrongful death cases have resulted in settlements involving millions of dollars. If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence of another person or entity, Attorney McCue will, at no cost promptly review the case and provide you with candid advice as to how to proceed.

Defective Products: Manufacturers and merchants who sell products are responsible for ensuring their products are safe. Victims injured by defective products are entitled to just compensation.Over the years, Attorney McCue has obtained large settlements for client's seriously injured by a products, including a bicycle, a hand-saw, and a negligently assembled table saw.

Premises Liability: Landlords and store owners are responsible for keeping their properties safe and in accordance with various government regulations. Frequently, victims are seriously hurt because a business owner failed to properly maintain their property. Recently, Attorney McCue obtained a six figure settlement for a client seriously injured after she slipped and fell on an oily puddle of tire cleaner, left on the floor of a large retail store.
