Brendan and his team got me through a difficult process, and got me a good result

This past summer I was in a car accident that left me with very serious injuries and ended up in the hospital for 12 days. My medical bills were astronomical, and I was not able to work due to my injuries. I knew I needed help. I reached out to several large law firms, however, they were either too busy or not interested in taking my case. I finally found McQuaid Injury Law where Brendan and his team immediately took me in and started helping me with my situation. I was truly amazed how quick and efficient they were as they settled my case with maximum recovery potential in a short time frame. They took more interest in my case and undoubtedly put forth more effort than any big law firm would have. Brendan McQuaid is a phenomenal attorney and his head Paralegal Richelle was incredible to work with. I could not have made a better choice going with McQuaid Injury Law as my legal counsel!

I was struck and pinned between two vehicles while I was at work. I had to be taken by ambulance to the nearest hospital for injuries to my legs. I originally just was gonna heal and get back to work until my family and friends recommended I find an attorney. I wasn’t sure where to start, I came across Mcquaid Law snd decided to call. Branden and his team took my call right away with Branden personally taking my call on a Sunday afternoon. Everything after that was smooth sailing as him and his team guided me through the process and took care of everything else and kept me updated throughout the whole time. They were able to get the insurance companies to pay out the maximum amount for me and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I had a traumatic accident happen towards the start of the new year, and one of my family member's suggested I reach out to McQuaid, as they had a positive experience working with them before. It was literally one of the best decisions I've made in 2024, so I'm here to vouch for them! My experience has been excellent- I had no knowledge of what to do and was pretty frazzled after my accident, but from the moment I called, they were extremely helpful. From guiding me through each step of the process to checking with updates and to answer questions - my overall experience was amazing! I would highly recommend reaching out!

My daughter and I were hit by a driver under the influence while we were parked on the side of the road. They happened to also be underinsured. I hired Brendan McQuaid to help me through the process and he was exceptional! Brendan was attentive, caring, knowledgeable, and knew how to work with insurance companies. He was able to get me the maximum allowed through my insurance policy and also to get my medical payments reduced. I highly recommend using him if you are in need of a caring but powerful lawyer!

I was in a car accident October 2023 and my car was completely totaled. I was referred to Brendan McQuaid by a friend. My first conversation with Brendan was amazing he was first and foremost concerned about my well being. He immediately asked how I was doing. I was suffering severe headaches, neck pain and back pain, he immediately setup physical therapy/chiro. He made this whole process stress free for me and fought for me to get what I deserved. I couldn’t be more pleased with my settlement.

Your Pedestrian Accident Questions Answered

Navigate the road to recovery with confidence as we address the most pressing questions our clients ask after experiencing a pedestrian accident.

Seek medical attention, call the police to file a report, gather contact information from witnesses, document the scene with photos if possible, and contact a pedestrian accident lawyer as soon as possible.

Potentially liable parties include the driver, vehicle owner (if different from the driver), government entities responsible for road maintenance, or manufacturers (in cases of vehicle defects).

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, and in some cases, punitive damages.

Many states follow comparative negligence laws, which may allow you to recover damages even if you were partly at fault. An experienced pedestrian accident lawyer can help determine how these laws apply to your case.

The statute of limitations varies by state, typically ranging from 1-3 years. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss any deadlines.

If the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may be able to seek compensation through your own uninsured motorist coverage or through other means. Our experienced staff can help explore all available options for compensation.

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case, typically taking a percentage of the settlement or verdict.
