    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.”

    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!”

    If the at-fault party has no insurance, you may still be covered under your own uninsured motorist policy. Our team will review your coverage and find other liable parties if possible.

    Q2: Is it too late to file a claim if I didn’t go to the hospital right away?
    Not necessarily. As long as you’re within the 3-year statute of limitations, you can still file a claim. However, delays in treatment can make your case more complicated, so call us as soon as possible.

    We use medical records, doctor statements, mental health evaluations, and personal testimony to show the physical and emotional impact of your injuries.

    Q4: Do I have to go to court for a personal injury case?
    Not always. Many claims settle out of court. But if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we’re fully prepared to take your case to trial.Q5: Can I sue if I was injured on city-owned property?
    Yes, but claims against the government have different rules and shorter deadlines. If you were injured on public property, contact us right away to preserve your rights.
