Personal Injury
Compassionate Advocacy When You Are Hurt
Rebuilding After the Unexpected
No one wakes up in the morning expecting their life to change forever. An accident happens in a split second—a screech of tires, a slip on a wet floor, a moment of negligence—but the consequences can last a lifetime. At Gordon T. Carey, Jr., P.C., we understand that a personal injury is not just a legal case; it is a personal crisis. You may be dealing with physical pain, mounting medical bills, lost wages, and the emotional trauma of the event. We are here to tell you that you do not have to face this alone. We are your neighbors, and we are dedicated to helping you rebuild your life.
Motor Vehicle Accident Claims
The most common way people are injured is on our roadways. As your car accident lawyer, we have seen the devastation that distracted, drunk, or reckless driving can cause. Dealing with insurance companies after a crash can be incredibly frustrating. Adjusters often try to minimize your pain or pressure you into a quick, lowball settlement before you even know the full extent of your injuries. We step in to protect you from these tactics. We handle all communication with the insurers, ensuring that your rights are respected and that you are not taken advantage of during a vulnerable time.
Cases involving larger vehicles require an even higher level of expertise. If you or a loved one has been involved in a crash with a semi-truck or delivery van, you need a specialized truck accident attorney. These cases are more complex than standard car accidents because they often involve federal safety regulations, driver logbooks, and multiple liable parties, such as the trucking company, the cargo loader, and the vehicle manufacturer. As a commercial vehicle accident attorney, we know how to preserve critical evidence like the truck’s “black box” data to prove negligence and hold the powerful trucking corporations accountable.
Maritime Personal Injury
Given our firm’s deep roots in admiralty law, we possess a unique skillset that many general practice firms lack. We are not just personal injury lawyers; we are maritime personal injury lawyers. If your accident occurred on a boat, a cruise ship, or a jet ski, state laws often do not apply. Instead, the case may fall under federal maritime jurisdiction. As a boat accident lawyer, we understand the specific rules of navigation and the duties of vessel operators. Whether it was a recreational boating collision on the weekend or an injury on a commercial ferry, we have the specialized knowledge to navigate these complex waters and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Advocating for the Seriously Injured
Some accidents result in catastrophic, life-altering conditions. As a serious injury lawyer, we represent clients who have suffered traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, and amputations. These injuries require more than just immediate medical coverage; they often necessitate a lifetime of care, home modifications, and rehabilitation. We work with medical planners and economists to calculate the true cost of your injury over the course of your life, ensuring that any settlement or verdict provides for your long-term future.
Tragically, some negligence results in the loss of life. If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s actions, we are here to serve as your wrongful death attorney. We know that no amount of money can bring your loved one back. However, a wrongful death claim can provide financial stability for the dependents left behind and offer a sense of justice by holding the responsible party accountable. We handle these cases with the utmost sensitivity and respect, giving your family the space to grieve while we handle the legal fight.
Why We Are Different
At Gordon T. Carey, Jr., P.C., we treat every client like family. We do not run a “settlement mill” where we try to churn through cases as fast as possible. We take the time to listen to your story. We want to know how this injury has affected your daily life—your ability to work, to play with your children, and to enjoy your hobbies. This personal connection drives us to fight harder for you.
We prepare every case as if it is going to trial. This thorough preparation often convinces insurance companies to offer a fair settlement because they know we are not afraid to step into the courtroom. Whether it is a motor vehicle accident claim or a complex maritime injury, our goal is the same: to secure the maximum compensation possible so you can focus on healing. Let us take the weight of the legal process off your shoulders.
