    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!”

    A Local Personal Injury Law Firm in Readville, Boston, MA

    As a premier personal injury law firm in Readville, Boston, MA, we understand that recovery isn’t just physical, it’s financial and emotional too. That’s why we fight for injury victims to get every dollar they’re owed under Massachusetts law.

    Our personal injury lawyers handle a wide range of case types, including:

    Car Accidents

    Intersections near Wolcott Square and the Readville train station are known for speeding and inattention. Whether it’s a rear-end collision or a more complex crash, we investigate thoroughly and take on the insurance companies directly.

    Truck Accidents

    Commercial trucks often travel through Readville’s industrial and warehouse areas. Accidents involving large vehicles can be catastrophic, and require legal experience to navigate multiple liable parties.

    Walking or biking along Hyde Park Ave or River Street can be dangerous when drivers fail to yield. We represent vulnerable road users and demand full accountability from negligent motorists.

    Slip and Fall Accidents

    If you fell on someone else’s property, whether it was a sidewalk, staircase, or inside a business, property owners may be responsible for your injuries. We hold them accountable for poor maintenance or unsafe conditions.

    Dog Bites

    Dog owners are strictly liable in Massachusetts for bite-related injuries. We help victims recover for medical bills, permanent scars, trauma, and more, especially when children are involved.

    Medical Malpractice

    When doctors or healthcare providers fail to deliver proper care, patients suffer. We handle misdiagnoses, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and other forms of medical negligence.

    Wrongful Death

    Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is devastating. We support grieving families through the legal process with compassion and strength, pursuing justice and financial relief.

    FAQs: Personal Injury Law in Readville, Boston, MA

    Q1: What if I didn’t report my accident right away? Can I still file a claim?
    Yes, though delayed reporting may complicate the case. The sooner you report an accident (to the police, a supervisor, or property owner), the stronger your case. Still, if you’re within the statute of limitations, you likely still have options.

    Q2: What’s the difference between a claim and a lawsuit?
    claim is typically filed with an insurance company and may result in a settlement. A lawsuit is a formal legal action filed in court. Many cases start as claims and only proceed to lawsuits if fair settlements aren’t reached.

    Q3: How long does it take to resolve a personal injury case?
    Simple cases may settle in a few months. More serious or disputed cases can take a year or more, especially if a trial is necessary. We work efficiently, but we won’t rush if it means accepting less than you deserve.Q4: What if I can’t afford to pay a lawyer right now?
    You don’t need to. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront, and we only get paid if we win or settle your case.
