    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!”

    • You’ve missed work or suffered a long-term injury

    FAQs – Georgetown, Boston, MA Personal Injury Law

    Q1: What if the insurance company says I was partially at fault?
    Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you were less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages, though your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

    Q2: How do I know if my injury is “serious enough” for a claim?
    If your injury required medical care, caused you to miss work, or impacted your daily life, even temporarily, you likely have a valid claim. It’s always worth discussing with a personal injury attorney.

    Q3: Can I still sue if I signed a waiver before my accident?
    Possibly. Waivers don’t protect companies or individuals from gross negligence or reckless behavior. Let us review the document and circumstances, we may still be able to help.

    Q4: What should I bring to my free consultation?
    Bring any documentation you have: medical records, bills, photos, insurance communications, police reports, and a timeline of what happened. If you don’t have everything, that’s okay, we’ll help you gather what’s needed.
