Auto Accident Lawyers in Bangor, ME

When Unexpected Collisions Create a Lifetime of Impact

Car accidents are an all‑too‑common occurrence, and the numbers make that clear. In 2023, for example, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported that approximately 40,901 people lost their lives in motor‑vehicle crashes across the U.S. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) showed that in 2023, the fatality rate was 12.2 deaths per 100,000 people. 

 And for every life lost, many more are injured. Over two million people suffered non‑fatal injuries in traffic crashes in 2022, according to autoinsurance.com research. 

These statistics shift quickly from numbers to real-life hardship when you or a loved one is involved in a crash. Victims face physical pain, emotional trauma, medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle or property damage.

What We Do for Car Accident Victims in Maine

At McCue Law Office, our team has been helping Maine accident victims since 1980. We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no upfront attorney fees unless we recover money for you. 

Here’s how we represent you:

• Case review - We meet with you, hear your story, collect facts, and identify liable parties.
• Investigation and evidence gathering - We help collect medical records, accident reports, witness statements, dashcam or nearby surveillance footage, and proof of property damage and lost income.
• Valuing your damages - We calculate past and future medical costs, lost wages, vehicle/property damage, and intangible damages such as pain and suffering, and emotional harm.
• Negotiate with insurers - We communicate directly with insurance companies, fight lowball offers, and protect your rights before any agreement is signed.
• Filing and litigating lawsuits when needed - Under Maine law, you typically have six years to file a lawsuit after an injury. We meet these deadlines if settlement efforts stall.
• Litigation and trial representation: If negotiations fail, we’re prepared to take your case to court, combining our local experience with full advocacy to maximize your recovery.

Why You Need Legal Representation in Car Accident Claims

After a collision, you may be dealing with:

• Urgent medical treatment, physical therapy, and ongoing care needs 
• In some cases, loss of mobility or independence due to catastrophic injuries
• Damage to your vehicle or property due to the crash
• Time lost from work and decreased earning capacity
• Emotional distress, shock, post‑traumatic stress, or anxiety about the future
• Insurance companies that push quick, unfair settlements to minimize payouts

If the insurance company downplays your injuries, disputes fault, or delays payments, the stress can multiply. Having experienced legal representation matters more than ever.
