Being injured in an accident is one of life’s most challenging experiences. The physical pain is just the beginning—soon you’re facing a mountain of medical bills, lost income from missing work, and the emotional stress of wondering if your life will ever return to normal. Insurance companies know you’re vulnerable, and they often try to take advantage by offering quick settlements that fall far short of what you actually need and deserve.
Our approach is different from other law firms. We don’t just handle your case—we become your advocates, your support system, and your voice when you feel like no one is listening. We understand that this isn’t just about money—it’s about justice, accountability, and making sure you have the resources you need to rebuild your life.
Liberty’s busy streets and highways, including Highway 152 and Interstate 35, see their share of serious traffic accidents. Whether you were hit by a drunk driver, injured in a multi-vehicle collision, or hurt by someone who was texting while driving, we’ll conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine fault and build an ironclad case. We work with accident reconstruction experts, review all available evidence, and interview witnesses to ensure we have the strongest possible foundation for your claim.
Truck and Motorcycle Collisions
Accidents involving commercial trucks or motorcycles often result in catastrophic injuries due to the size and weight differences between vehicles. These cases require specialized knowledge of federal trucking regulations, commercial insurance policies, and the unique dynamics of motorcycle accidents. Our team has extensive experience handling these complex cases and knows how to hold trucking companies and negligent drivers fully accountable.
Premises Liability (Slip and Fall)
Property owners throughout Liberty have a legal obligation to maintain safe conditions for visitors. If you’ve been injured due to wet floors, broken stairs, inadequate lighting, icy walkways, or other dangerous conditions, you may be entitled to substantial compensation. We’ll thoroughly investigate the property owner’s negligence, examine maintenance records, and work with safety experts to prove your case.
Medical Negligence or Wrongful Death
When healthcare providers fail to meet accepted standards of care, the consequences can be devastating. Our team handles complex medical malpractice cases involving surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, and hospital negligence. We also represent families in wrongful death cases where medical negligence has resulted in the loss of a loved one. These cases require extensive medical knowledge and the ability to work with qualified experts who can explain complex medical issues.
Serious Injury & Catastrophic Claims
Some accidents result in life-changing injuries such as spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, or amputations. These catastrophic injury cases require careful calculation of lifetime medical needs, lost earning capacity, and the profound impact on quality of life. We work with medical experts, economists, and life care planners to ensure every aspect of your future needs is considered in your claim.
We understand that dealing with legal matters can feel overwhelming when you’re already coping with injuries and recovery. Here’s exactly what you can expect when you work with Murphy, Kinney, & Sumy, LLC.
Recently, we represented a Liberty construction worker who suffered severe back injuries when scaffolding collapsed due to improper assembly. The construction company’s insurance carrier initially denied the claim, arguing that the worker was partially at fault. After our thorough investigation revealed multiple safety violations and improper equipment maintenance, we were able to secure a substantial settlement that covered all medical expenses, lost wages, and provided financial security for our client’s future.
Another memorable case involved a Liberty family whose teenage daughter was seriously injured in a hit-and-run accident. The driver was never identified, but we were able to pursue an uninsured motorist claim through the family’s insurance policy. Despite the insurance company’s initial reluctance to pay, our aggressive advocacy resulted in a settlement that ensured the young woman would have the resources she needed for ongoing medical care and rehabilitation.
