Our Personal Injury Practice Areas

Many different events can lead to injury, which may cause one party to sue another party for damages. Below we discuss some of the most common types of personal injuries that we deal with at the Law Offices of Gerald J. Noonan:

  • Auto accidents. The Greater Boston area is famous for its high rate of traffic crashes, mostly due to heavy traffic congestion. When Boston traffic accidents lead to severe injury, an experienced attorney can help injured individuals recover damages. At the Law Offices of Gerald J. Noonan, we help clients who have suffered injuries in all types of traffic accidents, including car, truck, bus, and motorcycle accidents.
  • Bicycle accidents. In recent years, Brockton residents have coped with severe bicycle accidents, many of which have resulted in serious injuries. Whether using a bike as a primary form of transportation, to exercise, or just to enjoy a leisurely ride, cyclists must remain aware of any careless motorist who might strike them.
  • Pedestrian accidents.Whether you are walking downtown to grab some produce at Brockton’s City Hall Farmers’ Market, taking in the local art scene, or taking an after-dinner stroll in your neighborhood, you are at more risk for injury while walking than those in motor vehicles.
  • Premises liability.Anytime an individual sustains an injury on another party’s property, the property owner is potentially liable for damages if he or she did not uphold the duty of care owed to visitors. Premises liability cases include slip and fall accidents, the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries, and other events that lead to injury. At the Law Offices of Gerald J. Noonan, we also help clients with special liability circumstances that involve alcohol consumption, including dram shop liability and social host liability cases.
  • Medical malpractice.Doctors, nurses, and hospitals are tasked to diagnose, treat, and cure those with sicknesses and diseases. Trusted medical professionals who fail to uphold their legal duty to provide a certain standard of care can cause severe injuries and even fatalities. We hold medical professionals accountable for negligent behavior, including failing to diagnose illness or disease, misdiagnoses, surgical errors, medication errors, and instances of inadequate aftercare.
  • Dangerous and defective products.A court may find manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers liable for injuries when a defective product causes injury or death. Some product defects occur during the design stage, and others occur during building, assembly, or shipping. Product defects also occur when companies fail to warn consumers of dangerous aspects of their products or improperly label their products.
  • Police brutality.Law enforcement exists for the public good—to serve and protect the general population. Unfortunately, some police officers have alternative agendas and abuse their power. At the Law Offices of Gerald J. Noonan, we hold police officers who abuse their power and cause harm accountable for their actions.
  • Wrongful death claims. When another party’s negligence results in the loss of a loved one, surviving family members turn to us to seek justice. A wrongful death may occur in a traffic accident, on another party’s property, or as the result of a defective product.
