A little over a year ago, my wife was coming home from taking our dog (Chester) to the Vet, and just one mile from home she was struck head-on by a driver under the influence. My wife sustained injuries to her chest and neck and suffered a severe concussion (which required 8 months of OT, PT, and Voice therapies); her car was totaled, and although her injuries could have been much worse, our beloved Chester sustained injuries that required us to put him down. We had him for 14 years.
Having never been involved in an automobile/injury claim of this magnitude - especially since the other driver was clearly at fault - I sought out legal counsel. We were referred to Gerald Mullaney of Mullaney and Mullaney in Skippack, PA. As someone who holds personal/professional referrals in high regard, this referral just solidifies my stance. Gerald (Jerry) Mullaney brings 28 years of experience specializing in personal injury claims like ours, and this experience combined with his patience and understanding was exactly what we needed while dealing with both my wife's recovery and the legal ramifications of our claim. One thing he said more than once that stands out: "My job is to make your wife whole again".
In our initial phone consultation (from the hospital), Jerry showed sincere compassion and concern for my wife's injuries, wanting to know the initial diagnosis and what the treating physician had to say. Once I explained the horrible news of our dog Chester and how that loss exacerbates my wife's injuries, this is where Jerry's "bedside manner" kicked in. The conversation remained mostly about my wife and her injuries; it wasn't until I changed the topic towards inquiring about how he could help us from a legal standpoint did he provide the advice and guidance I needed.
I knew immediately that my wife and our case was in good hands. Jerry asked several questions, many of which never dawned on me, and had the patience to answer my many follow-up questions to help me better understand the situation. He provided me with a list of detailed information he required from us to obtain his services, initiate the claim, and establish him as our legal representative. He always took care to explain and correct my many inquiries and assumptions without nary a hint of condescension or impatience - and many times I asked the same question more than once. And he always took our calls, or returned them in a timely manner. We received copies of all correspondence pertaining to our claim.
He even took the time to help my wife with her many questions regarding her short- and long-term disability insurance. Although the second phase of our claim is still on-going, I feel compelled to give Jerry Mullaney the props he deserves for what he has accomplished for us thus far.
I highly recommend Jerry Mullaney. He is the consummate professional, specializing in personal injury claims (with emphasis on "personal"). My wife suffered a serious accident that affected her for all of 2018, and she will have degenerative issues going forward. We are comfortable knowing that we have someone like Jerry Mullaney on our side, for he is true to his word - My wife is slowly becoming whole again.
Thank you, Jerry.
