    CAR ACCIDENT

    “Right before the pandemic shut down in March of 2020, I was in a car accident which left me with lower back pain. With surgery pending, I felt sad and hopeless until a friend of my daughter recommended me to Sweeney and Merrigan Law LLP. It was awesome working with Erin E McHugh, but Alexa Baker was there to answer any question I had no matter what time of the day it was. And that assured me that someone cared about my health. I just want to say thanks for all the help and support and I would definitely recommend the Law firm to others.”

    Personal Injury

    I originally highered a top notch personal injury law Attorney for my personal injury case. After 8 months of holding my case [firm name omitted] dropped me? I called Sweeney Merrigans office and I was taken in as a client immediately. Maggie was unbelievable and the constant contact reassuring me about every step. It didn’t take very long to settle the case (less then a year) and the turn around for payment. Please don’t hesitate to call Sweeney Merrigan for all questions and personal injury cases. You will be happy you did.

    Dog Bite

    “This team listened to our cry for help.

    Our daughter was attacked by a dog (pit) and we were lost on how to get help on medical bills. We decided to take the legal route and sue the ones responsible for our 3 year olds pain and trauma. This team called, texted, emailed, and personally came to our house (twice, from Boston to SPRINGFIELD) in support for our family.

    To Carleen our attorney, you have helped me personally go through the toughest thing a mother can go through, seeing my daughter suffer 3 surgeries. Scars she’ll have for the rest of her life but a settlement that will help her overcome and future obstacle.

    This team during court presented esteem professionalism, as the Judge took notice and thanked them directly for. I pray I never have to repeat this process, but I sleep easy knowing they’re in my corner.”

    Drunk Driver Accident

    I would definitely recommend Sweeney Merrigan to anyone!
    I can’t say enough about Sweeney Merrigan. As someone who worked in this industry, I have seen how easy it is to be consumed with so much work that communication suffers. I was in a near-fatal accident, where I was hit head-on by a drunk driver. I chose Sweeney Merrigan and I’m so happy I did! Tucker was always very prompt in returning emails and phone calls. Any questions or concerns, he would make sure to clarify and explain everything. It says a lot to have someone who truly cares about their clientele! I would definitely recommend Sweeney Merrigan to anyone!”

    Our experienced Centre-South, Boston, MA personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of case types, including:

    Truck Accidents

    Motorcycle, Bicycle & Pedestrian Accidents

    Centre-South is a walkable, bike-friendly neighborhood, but when drivers ignore crosswalks or bike lanes, serious injuries follow. We represent riders and pedestrians who are often sidelined by insurers, until we get involved.

    Slip and Fall / Premises Liability

    Injuries caused by unsafe conditions on public or private property, like icy sidewalks, broken stairs, or poor lighting, are preventable. We’ll investigate the scene and prove the property owner failed in their duty of care.

    Dog Bites

    Massachusetts law holds dog owners strictly liable, even if the dog had no history of aggression. If you or your child were bitten in the Centre-South area, you may be entitled to full financial compensation.

    If a doctor’s error, delayed diagnosis, or surgical mistake caused you harm, we collaborate with medical experts to expose negligence and pursue justice for you and your family.

    Wrongful Death

    Tragically, some injuries end lives. We help grieving families file wrongful death claims to hold responsible parties accountable and seek financial support for their future.

    When Should You Call a Centre-South, Boston, MA Injury Lawyer?

    Immediately after the injury, or as soon as you realize you need help.

    The truth is, insurance companies start building their case the moment a claim is filed. They’ll try to limit your payout, deny fault, or push a quick, lowball settlement. Let Sweeney Merrigan protect you from that.

    Call us right away if:

    • You were hurt and someone else was clearly or possibly at fault
    • You’re missing work or losing income
    • Medical bills are piling up
    • The insurance company is calling, or ignoring your calls
    • You’re being blamed unfairly for the accident

    Don’t wait. Massachusetts gives injury victims three years to file most personal injury lawsuits, but critical evidence can disappear much sooner.

    What Compensation Can You Recover?

    • Medical bills (current and future)

    • Scarring or disfigurement
    • Property damage
