Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

At Sweeney Merrigan Law, LLP, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

Car Accidents

Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury claims. They can occur due to:

Distracted driving (e.g., texting, eating, or using GPS)
Speeding or reckless driving
Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
Weather-related hazards like icy roads or low visibility

When pursuing a car accident claim, our attorneys will establish negligence by proving that the other driver breached their duty of care, directly causing your injuries. Compensation can cover medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Truck Accidents

Truck accidents often result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Common causes include:

Driver fatigue
Overloaded or improperly loaded cargo
Mechanical failures or inadequate maintenance
Violation of federal trucking regulations, such as hours-of-service rules

Truck accident cases can be complex, involving multiple parties such as the driver, trucking company, or vehicle manufacturer. We thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident to determine liability and hold the responsible parties accountable.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists face unique dangers on Boston’s roads. These accidents often occur because:

Drivers fail to check blind spots before changing lanes
Vehicles turn left in front of oncoming motorcycles
Road hazards, such as potholes, disproportionately affect motorcycles

Massachusetts laws require drivers to exercise reasonable care, and our attorneys will work to prove that negligence caused your accident. We’ll also address potential biases against motorcyclists to ensure you receive fair treatment.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slip and fall accidents often occur due to hazardous conditions, such as:

Wet or icy sidewalks
Uneven flooring
Poor lighting in stairwells
Debris or clutter in walkways

Under Massachusetts premises liability law, property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions. If they fail to do so and you’re injured as a result, we will pursue compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and other damages.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider’s negligence causes harm to a patient. Examples include:

Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
Surgical errors, such as operating on the wrong site
Medication mistakes, like prescribing the wrong dosage
Birth injuries caused by improper prenatal or delivery care

Proving medical malpractice requires demonstrating that the provider violated the accepted standard of care. Our attorneys work with medical experts to build strong cases and hold negligent providers accountable.

Product Liability

Defective or dangerous products can cause significant injuries. Common types of product liability cases include:

Faulty car parts leading to accidents
Defective medical devices, such as hip implants or pacemakers
Contaminated or mislabeled food and drugs
Dangerous children’s toys or equipment

In these cases, liability may fall on the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer. We’ll investigate the product’s design, manufacturing process, and labeling to determine fault.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. Common causes of wrongful death include:

Fatal car or truck accidents
Medical errors
Workplace accidents
Acts of violence or criminal behavior

Wrongful death claims allow surviving family members to seek compensation for funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering. We provide compassionate support while fighting to ensure your family’s future is secure.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents

Bicyclists and pedestrians are vulnerable to serious injuries when struck by vehicles. These accidents often result from:

Distracted or impaired drivers
Failure to yield at crosswalks
Speeding in residential areas or school zones

Massachusetts law prioritizes the safety of pedestrians and cyclists. We’ll work to prove the driver’s negligence and pursue compensation for your injuries and losses.

Workplace Accidents

Although workers’ compensation typically covers workplace injuries, there are cases where additional claims may be necessary, such as:

Injuries caused by defective machinery or tools
Accidents involving third-party negligence
Toxic exposure or unsafe working conditions

Our attorneys can help you navigate workers’ compensation claims and explore options for filing a personal injury lawsuit against liable third parties.

Dog Bites

Massachusetts has strict liability laws for dog bites, meaning owners are typically responsible for injuries caused by their pets, regardless of whether the dog has a history of aggression. We’ll help you recover compensation for medical treatment, scarring, and emotional trauma.

Legal Considerations in Personal Injury Cases

When handling personal injury cases, our attorneys focus on several critical factors:

Establishing Negligence: Proving that the at-fault party breached their duty of care.
Calculating Damages: Assessing the full extent of your financial and emotional losses.
Navigating Insurance Claims: Dealing with insurance companies that often prioritize minimizing payouts.
Meeting Deadlines: Ensuring compliance with Massachusetts’ statute of limitations (generally three years for personal injury claims).
