Boston, MA“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.”

Boston, MA“Previous to Sweeney&Merrigan I had chosen a law firm that seem to have little to no movement with my car accident case . I than decided to switch firms I can’t express how great full I am to have Sweeney&Merrigan law step in and take over phone calls were answered messages were responded to the communication was incredible and easy aside from filling out a few forms they really put in all the work and had my settlement completed within months they will be my recommendation of choice to any one in need of service and first choice if I find myself great experience!”

Worcester, MA“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.”
— Jessica S.
Boston, MA“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!”

Frequently Asked Questions About Boston Personal Injury Claims
What should I do immediately after a personal injury accident in Boston?
Immediately following an injury accident, the most important thing is to get the treatment you need and to make sure the doctors are aware of any injuries or pain you are feeling. In the days that follow, you should also contact an attorney right away. An attorney can help navigate initial billing issues with medical providers and will begin investigating your potential claim. This includes preserving and securing evidence, speaking to witnesses, and contacting authorities. Contacting an attorney early will help you focus on your recovery while knowing your legal rights are being protected.
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim in Massachusetts?
The only way to truly know if you have a personal injury claim is to speak with an attorney. Many people simply aren’t aware that they have a claim because they never spoke to a lawyer. Initial consultations with personal injury attorneys are free of charge, so there is no reason not to explore your potential rights through a consultation. In fact, even if you don’t have a claim, consulting an attorney will be beneficial as it will prevent you from wondering years later whether you should have hired a lawyer.
What types of compensation can I recover in a personal injury lawsuit in Boston?
In Massachusetts, compensation is available to cover medical expenses, lost wages and income, and pain and suffering. In some cases, including wrongful death, punitive damages are available. There are also claims available for spouses of loved ones through consortium claims.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Massachusetts?
Statute of Limitations vary from State, but most personal injury cases in Massachusetts have a three year statute of limitations which means that if the case is not filed in Court before three years from the date of the injury, then the time window has passed and the case is forever barred. However, some cases in Massachusetts have a much shorter period of time. For that reason, you should not delay in speaking to an attorney. There are also circumstances that require a notice letter to be sent to the potential defendant within a limited period of time.
Will my personal injury case go to trial, or can it be settled out of court?
Ultimately, whether a case goes to trial or settles out of court is a decision made by the client. Some clients want the certainty of an out-of-court settlement, while others need to tell their story at trial. Attorneys will always explain the advantages and disadvantages associated with going either route. Nonetheless, the vast majority of cases settle without the need for a trial in court.
How does the contingency fee structure work with your Boston personal injury law firm?
Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, meaning we are only paid if we are successful. We will never ask a client to pay a bill or compensate us for our time during the case. The only time we get paid is through a percentage when we are successful, either at trial or through an out-of-court settlement.
