Michael P. Cahill

Mr. Cahill has focused on representing people seriously injured by others since he joined the firm in 1993, after a one-year rotating clerkship with three Ocean County Superior Court judges. He has handled hundreds of personal injury cases and is an experienced trial attorney. He combines thoroughness and knowledge of both the law and his cases to achieve maximum results for his clients. He is known for his aggressive, but professional approach to settlement negotiations with insurance companies. He understands that people need their lawyer to be an advocate and also to answer their questions and keep them advised about their case.

Among his most prominent recent achievements was a $475,000 settlement in August 2024 for a person who sustained a broken leg, which required surgery, after being struck by a car as a pedestrian, $450,000 in September 2024 for an individual who sustained neck, shoulder, and other injuries, when another vehicle turned left in front of her vehicle, a binding award of $1.1 million (which was nearly double the defense’s last offer) for a young man who suffered fractures, including in his spine and chest, as a result of his truck overturning after another motorist forced him off the road; $1.5 million for a woman who suffered from a condition known as conversion disorder, which caused speech and other problems, as a result of trauma in a car accident; $750,000 for a woman who suffered a severe knee injury as a result of the dangerous condition of a commercial sidewalk; and $775,958 in settlements and judgments for an off-duty police officer who was attacked outside of a bar. Mr. Cahill also recently negotiated a $1.2 million settlement for a woman whose hip and ankle were fractured in a car accident and another totaling $750,000 for a construction worker who suffered back injuries when he was thrown to the ground as a result of a tire explosion caused by a tire repairman’s negligence.
