Here’s what some of our satisfied clients say about their experience with Shaheen & Gordon.
| ★★★★★ “Francis Murphy and Karen Matthews at Shaheen & Gordon provided exceptional support for my personal injury case after a car accident that changed my life. While no amount of money can undo the physical challenges I now face, their dedication and compassion made the year-and-a-half process worthwhile. Karen, my paralegal, was incredible—her kindness and care meant the world to me. I’m grateful for their hard work and wouldn’t hesitate to return to Shaheen & Gordon for any future legal needs.” — Vendetta R. |
| ★★★★★ “Attorney Jared O’Connor represented me in a challenging worker’s comp case stemming from a 2019 car accident caused by a drunk driver. Despite dealing with multiple injuries, doctors across four states, and coordination with car insurance, personal injury, and worker’s comp insurance, Jared handled everything with professionalism and care. He and his assistant, Ann Chilton, promptly addressed issues like delayed payments and interference with care, even involving the Department of Labor when necessary. Jared’s reassurance allowed me to focus on healing, and his persistence resulted in two settlements after over four years. I highly recommend Jared—he genuinely cares, fights for his clients, and provides peace of mind in worker’s comp cases.” — Sara L. |
| ★★★★★ “Attorney Jared O’Connor of Shaheen & Gordon P.A. is very professional, knowledgeable, skilled and dedicated. It is evident that he loves his profession, working hard to fight for what is right. Highly recommend!” — Kim G. |
Our Manchester personal injury lawyers work to recover maximum compensation
Damages in personal injury cases refer to the compensation awarded to an injured person to cover the losses they have suffered due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. They generally fall into three categories:
Economic damages
Tangible, financial losses directly tied to the injury, including:
- Medical expenses: Hospital bills, surgeries, physical therapy, medications, and future medical care.
- Lost wages: Compensation for income lost during recovery, as well as future earning potential.
- Property damage: Costs to repair or replace damaged property, such as a vehicle in a car accident.
- Other out-of-pocket expenses: Travel to medical appointments, home modifications, or in-home care.
Non-economic damages
Compensation for losses that are not easily quantified but significantly impact the victim’s life:
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain resulting from the injury.
- Emotional distress: Mental health impacts such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
- Loss of enjoyment of life: Inability to participate in activities or hobbies enjoyed before the injury.
- Scarring and disfigurement: Permanent physical changes and the emotional toll they bring.
Enhanced damages
In rare cases, enhanced damages are awarded. These are not intended to compensate the victim but to punish the at-fault party for egregious or reckless behavior and deter similar actions in the future.
