What Types of Personal Injury Cases Does The Law Offices of Gerald J. Noonan Handle?

Updated

The Law Offices of Gerald J. Noonan handles personal injury cases arising from accidents, medical negligence, and institutional neglect, with a focus on people injured in Massachusetts. Based on the firm's published practice areas, the case types include car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, bicycle, and construction accidents; injuries such as broken bones, head and face injuries, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, burns, and internal injuries; medical malpractice, including birth injuries and surgical or emergency room errors; nursing home neglect; and wrongful death. Slip and fall cases are also part of the practice, as reflected in the firm's listed case results.

Accident and collision cases

The firm lists the following accident types as personal injury matters it accepts:

  • Car accidents
  • Truck accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Construction accidents

If your injury came from a roadway collision, a construction site, or a similar accident, it falls within the categories the firm advertises. The site describes the team as Brockton personal injury lawyers representing accident victims throughout Massachusetts.

Injury types the firm lists

The practice areas page groups injuries separately from accident causes. The listed injury categories are:

  • Broken bones
  • Eye injury
  • Head and face injury
  • Internal injuries
  • Ligament, tendon, and muscle injury
  • Shoulder injury
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Burn injuries

These categories describe the harm itself rather than how it happened, so a brain injury from a car crash and a brain injury from a fall would both fit the firm's stated scope.

Medical malpractice and neglect cases

Beyond accidents, the firm lists medical negligence and care-related claims:

  • Medical malpractice, including birth injuries, surgical errors, and emergency room errors
  • Nursing home neglect
  • Wrongful death, including a dedicated page on Massachusetts wrongful death damages

These are cases where the harm is tied to professional care or a care facility rather than a roadway or worksite.

Slip and fall and case results

Slip and fall is not listed as a separate heading in the practice area menu, but the firm's homepage displays case results that include a $665,000 slip and fall result, alongside $550,000 for assault and battery and $350,000 for police misconduct. Those figures are presented as examples of past outcomes, not as predictions for any new case.

Criminal defense is handled separately

The same firm also advertises criminal defense: DUI/OUI offenses, violent and gun crimes, drug crimes, and sex crimes. If your situation involves criminal charges rather than an injury, that is a different service line from the personal injury work described above.

How to confirm your case fits

The firm offers a free case evaluation through a form on its site asking for name, email, phone, and a description of the situation. The most reliable way to confirm whether your specific accident or injury is covered is to describe it in that evaluation or contact the office directly. The site states the team has more than 50 years of combined experience helping Massachusetts residents, and it presents itself as serving Brockton and the surrounding state.
