What our clients say

Great experience working with John Peck. Super professional and efficient and had my back through the whole experience. Would definitely work with this firm again.

Emma Kleinman

When no one else would take my case they did. And they found away to assist me when others said it was impossible and couldn’t be done. I appreciated the support and service I received. It felt like it was a team of people that was working on me and my daughters case and not just one person

Case Results

$1MM

WON

Injuries: Multiple fractures, cervical spine injury, failed shoulder surgery, permanent disability A 79-year-old man was struck in a marked crosswalk by a commercial vehicle. The driver claimed bad weather obscured his view. We pulled the weather report. No precipitation at the time of impact. We obtained surveillance video showing the collision clearly. We deposed the driver and exposed contradictions in his testimony about speed, visibility, and awareness. We documented over $300,000 in past medical bills, $150,000 in lost earnings, and $500,000 in future medical costs. We secured a settlement over $1,000,000 for our client.

$300,000

WON

Injuries: Lumbar disc herniations, elbow ligament sprain, knee cartilage damage Our client was riding his moped through a Boston intersection when the at-fault driver made an illegal U-turn into his path. The ER ran CT scans. No fractures. The insurer pointed to those clean scans early and tried to avoid responsibility for any injuries. Our client went to an orthopedist who ordered MRIs. They revealed two lumbar disc herniations compressing nerve roots, a torn elbow ligament, and cartilage loss in the knee. The radiologist confirmed each injury was causally related to the collision and we secured the $300,000 policy limit.

Confidential Settlement

WON

Injuries Severe soft tissue trauma, nerve damage, knee and ankle injuries Our client was riding in a designated bike lane on a major Boston avenue when a rear passenger door of a commercial SUV swung open directly into her path. She struck the door and was thrown from her vehicle. The passengers stepped over her, told her she “needed to be more careful,” and walked away. The driver checked on her briefly, then got back in the vehicle and drove off without providing any identifying information. The insurer denied liability. It claimed our client was not in the bike lane and disputed that the driver fled the scene. The police report said otherwise. Dispatch notes logged in real time documented a hit in the bike lane and confirmed the vehicle drove off. Officers broadcast the plate to other units — standard procedure for a hit-and-run. We built the demand around the official record and Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 90, Section 14, which places the legal burden on the person opening the door, not the cyclist. The driver also violated M.G.L. c. 90, § 24(2)(a) by leaving the scene of an accident involving personal injury. Our client lost all sensation in her left arm for weeks due to a severe hematoma at the impact site. She could not lean on the arm, could not sleep without waking from numbness, and still carries a visible indentation where the door struck her. The case resolved for a confidential settlement in the high six figures.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Malden

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car accidents happen in seconds but can cause lasting damage. Whether you were hit on Route 60, Route 99, or local Malden streets, Peck Trial Attorneys investigates the details of your crash. We gather police reports, interview witnesses, obtain medical records, and work with accident reconstruction professionals when necessary. We also handle motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, and pedestrian accidents—any motor vehicle collision where negligence caused your injuries.

Slip and Fall Injuries

Property owners have a responsibility to maintain safe premises. When negligent maintenance, hazardous conditions, or failure to warn visitors causes you to slip and fall, you may have a premises liability claim. Peck Trial Attorneys works to hold property owners accountable for injuries caused by their carelessness. Slip and fall accidents can result in serious injuries, and we're prepared to pursue full compensation for your damages.

Other Serious Injury Cases

Beyond accidents, we represent clients in wrongful death claims, medical malpractice cases, workplace injuries, and dog bite incidents. If someone else's negligence caused your harm, we can help you pursue compensation.

How Peck Trial Attorneys Handles Your Malden Personal Injury Claim

Our process is straightforward and client-focused. First, we meet with you for a free consultation to evaluate your case and answer your questions. We explain your legal options and what you can expect moving forward.

Next, we conduct a thorough investigation. This includes gathering evidence, obtaining medical records, interviewing witnesses, and documenting your injuries and losses. We work quickly to protect your rights before important details fade or are lost.

We then negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts, but we know how to respond to their tactics. We present a strong case backed by evidence and professional opinions. If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we file a lawsuit and prepare your case for trial. Throughout this process, we keep you informed and involved in every decision.

What Damages Can You Recover in a Malden Personal Injury Case?

When you're injured due to someone else's negligence, you may be able to recover several types of damages. Medical expenses—both current treatment and future care—may be recoverable. Lost wages from time away from work are compensable, as is your reduced earning capacity if your injuries affect your ability to work long-term.

You can also pursue compensation for pain and suffering, which accounts for the physical discomfort and emotional distress your injuries caused. Property damage, such as vehicle repairs or replacement of personal items, may be recoverable. In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may recover funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship.

Frequently Asked Questions About Malden Personal Injury Claims

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts has a statute of limitations that generally gives you three years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. However, this deadline can vary depending on the type of case and circumstances involved. Contact Peck Trial Attorneys to discuss your situation and protect your rights.

What should I do immediately after an accident in Malden?

First, seek medical attention if you're injured. Call 911 if necessary. Then, if it's safe, document the scene with photos and videos. Get contact information from witnesses and the other party involved. Report the accident to police and your insurance company. Finally, contact Peck Trial Attorneys before speaking with insurance adjusters. We can guide you through the next steps and help protect your interests.

How much does it cost to hire Peck Trial Attorneys?

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only collect a fee if we recover compensation for you.

What is the typical timeline for settling a personal injury case?

Every case is different. Some settle within months, while others take longer if litigation is necessary. We work efficiently to resolve your case, but we do not rush to accept an unfair settlement. We'll keep you informed about realistic timelines for your specific situation.

Do I have to go to trial, or can we settle my case?

Most personal injury cases settle without going to trial. However, we are prepared to take your case to court if the insurance company will not offer fair compensation. We'll discuss your options and let you make the final decision about settlement or trial.

Why should I hire a lawyer instead of handling my claim alone?

Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize what they pay you. Without legal representation, you may be at a disadvantage. An experienced attorney can help handle paperwork, negotiate with insurers, and pursue fair compensation for your injuries.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Massachusetts follows a comparative negligence rule. Even if you were partially at fault, you may still recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% responsible for the accident. Peck Trial Attorneys will investigate your case to determine fault and work to address any claims that you were responsible.

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

You may have a valid claim if someone else's negligence or wrongful actions caused your injury. This includes car accidents, slip and fall incidents, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, and more. The key is showing that the other party owed you a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused your injuries as a result. Contact Peck Trial Attorneys for a free consultation to evaluate your case.
