About Michael O. Smith
Michael O. Smith is a seasoned attorney committed to advocating for the rights of the injured and disabled. With a career spanning over two decades, he has built a reputation for his dedication to personal injury and disability law. After graduating with honors from Boston University School of Business Management, Michael began his professional journey as a workers' compensation claims adjuster.
Recognizing the potential to make a broader impact, Michael pursued a law degree at Suffolk University Law School in Boston, MA. Following his graduation, he briefly worked at a prestigious insurance defense firm in Boston. However, he soon realized his passion lay in representing the working class rather than defending large insurance companies.
Michael transitioned to a prominent plaintiff-oriented law firm in Lowell, Massachusetts, where he honed his skills in injury and disability claims. His commitment to helping the less fortunate solidified during this period, leading him to represent clients in personal injury, disability, and workers' compensation cases for over a decade.
After gaining significant experience, Michael joined one of the largest plaintiff personal injury firms in Massachusetts. There, he managed numerous workers' compensation and third-party claims, further establishing his expertise in the field.
Driven by a desire to better serve his clients, Michael founded the Mass Injury Group. His firm handles a wide range of injury claims, including motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents, wrongful death, negligence, premises liability, workers' compensation, and social security disability cases. Michael has overseen countless jury and non-jury trials, consistently striving to achieve justice for his clients.
