Motor Vehicle Accidents

The Law Office of Louis S. Haskell is dedicated to the prompt settlement of automobile, motorcycle, truck, pedestrian and other motor vehicle accident claims for their full and fair value, and to the aggressive litigation of those claims the insurance company refuses to settle for a fair and reasonable amount. Attorney Haskell and his staff will help you with all aspects of your motor vehicle accident injury claim. Not only will he get you the largest possible settlement in the shortest time possible, but will also assist you, at no additional charge, in those areas many lawyers ignore or charge extra for including helping you to get your car repaired and paid for, helping you into a paid for rental vehicle, helping you find quality medical providers who take your insurance and making sure your medical bills get paid, and getting you reimbursed for your time lost from work. Most accident lawyers have little or no support staff. As such, it is impossible for the lawyer to focus on these “side issues”. Others, simply do not care because the money is made on the settlement, not on the PIP claim or getting the car fixed. Many lawyers who do have the staff, resources and professionalism to deal with these issues charge extra for “PIP administration” and may even apply their contingent fee to the property damage claim. Attorney Haskell recognizes that when a client comes into the office, getting money for their injury is not their only goal, and sometimes not even their primary goal. Many clients have come in well after the accident occurred because the insurance company was not paying their medical bills, or putting them in a rental car. A few of those did not even realize they had a good personal injury claim, until they met with Attorney Haskell. We handle every aspect of the case, so that you can focus on getting healthy again and getting your life back to normal.Attorney Louis S. Haskell has been practicing personal injury law first in Boston, and later in Lowell, since 1987. The firm’s two motor vehicle accident attorneys have combined experience of almost 50 years. No one handles more Lowell automobile accident claims than Attorney Haskell. He has put tens of millions of dollars into the pockets of his clients through automobile accident settlements. That is to say, after all expenses, fees and medical bills are paid, the settlements (not related PIP, workers comp, health insurance or disability benefits which compensate medical bills and lost wages) have put tens of millions of dollars into the clients’ pockets (the only pockets you need to care about).Please note that other lawyers “brag” about the amount that they have “recovered” in settlements, judgments and BENEFITS. This is grossly misleading. “Benefits” include workers comp, SSI, SSDI, Personal Injury Protection, Health Insurance and Disability Insurance. These recoveries are not necessarily dependent upon the skill of the lawyer. On top of that, the gross amount of the settlement is only important to the lawyer, because the lawyer gets 1/3 of that. However, what the you should care about is how much of that you are getting. These lawyers who advertise that they have “recovered” vast sums of money for their clients commonly charge for every little thing, resulting in very little of that going into the pocket of the client. We prefer to look at the case from your perspective. If you are focused on how much you are receiving, then we need to focus on that as well. For most of our clients, the net recovery is 2/3 of the gross recovery. Very few attorneys can make that claim.
