Orleans Car Accidents

The Law Offices of John C. Manoog, III is a law firm whose attorneys represent people injured in crashes throughout Cape Cod. With nearly 150 years of combined experience, we offer clients distinctive insights into how courts handle these cases, and we have compiled a strong track record of success for the people whom we represent. Our Orleans car accident attorneys are dedicated to helping clients get back on their feet after a collision by working tirelessly to pursue the full amount of compensation available in their circumstances.

If you have been injured in a car accident, you have a right to seek compensation from a careless driver or anyone else who may have been responsible. The money damages available in these cases typically include compensation for medical bills, property damage, missed wages, and pain and suffering, as well as future costs. Some of that compensation may be available even if you were partly to blame for the crash. Massachusetts car accident law operates under a modified comparative negligence system that allows a person to sue for at least some damages, as long as they are not determined to be 51 percent or more at fault for the crash.

To get damages, you probably will need to bring a claim based on a theory of negligence, which is designed to hold people and entities liable for failing to live up to a specific “duty of care.” Drivers owe other people on the road a duty to operate their vehicles in a relatively safe manner. Construction crews are expected to warn motorists of roadwork and to avoid creating hazards when doing that work. Auto manufacturers are required to make cars that are safe and not overly prone to malfunctions. When these parties fail to live up to those duties, they are likely to be liable for any injuries that result from the accidents that they cause.

Straddling both the Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, Orleans is a charming New England town known for its quiet coastal aesthetic. The area was first settled by Native Americans of the Nauset tribe and later settled by Plymouth Colony Pilgrims in 1693. Today, it is a popular summertime destination, thanks to stunning beaches, historical sites, and a delightful downtown.

At the Law Offices of John C. Manoog, III, our motor vehicle collision attorneys have been representing clients throughout the region since 1994. We understand the legal issues that come up in car accident cases, and we are committed to carefully building a case based on all of the evidence that may be available. Our Orleans car accident lawyers are happy to offer free consultations at our offices or at your home or in the hospital. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means that we do not charge a fee in most cases unless we are successful in obtaining compensation for you.
