Practices Areas
We are dedicated to providing expert legal services to ensure clients win their cases and receive the compensation they deserve. Our experienced team is committed to advocating for justice and delivering positive outcomes for our clients.
Car Crash
Protecting your rights
We represent people injured in car crashes caused by another driver’s negligence—whether you were behind the wheel, a passenger, a pedestrian, cyclist, motorcyclist, or even riding an electric scooter. If you’ve been hurt in a crash, you’re likely dealing with more than just your injuries. Mounting medical bills, lost wages due to missed time from work, and pressure from insurance companies can feel overwhelming. That’s where we come in.
With decades of experience, we know how to take that burden off your shoulders. From day one, we notify the at-fault driver’s insurer that you’re represented - putting an immediate stop to the relentless calls from adjusters trying to get you to settle long before the value of your case is clear. We also coordinate with your health and auto insurance providers to make sure your medical bills are covered, and your treatment stays on track.
We don’t stop until the insurance company pays you every dollar you deserve. And if they won’t? We’re ready to take them to court. In fact, we welcome the opportunity.
Slip and Fall
Supporting you comes first
Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe. When they fail to fix or warn about hazards—like wet floors, broken stairs, or icy walkways—innocent people get hurt. We have represented hundreds of clients who’ve been injured due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, whether it’s a store, apartment complex, office building, or public space.
Slip and fall injuries can lead to serious, lasting consequences: missed work, medical bills, and a long recovery. We have decades of experience holding negligent property owners and their insurance companies accountable. From the moment we take your case, we investigate the cause of your fall, secure evidence, and notify the parties responsible that you're represented.
As always, we make it our job to deal with the insurance companies—so you can focus on healing. If a fair settlement isn't offered, we have no problem filing a lawsuit and taking the case to court. We’ve done it before, and we’ll do it again—because getting you the compensation you deserve is what we do best.
Dog Bite
We won't let your wounds go uncompensated
In Massachusetts, dog owners are strictly liable for injuries caused by their dog attacking or biting someone. That means if you were lawfully on public or private property and were injured by a dog—even if the dog had never shown signs of aggression before—the owner is responsible, period.
Despite the strict liability enforced against dog owners, recovering for your injuries can be an arduous process without the right representation. Dog Owners often will attempt to evade being held accountable and refuse to submit your claim to their insurer. Luckily, our team is intimately familiar with these tactics and have the strategy and experience necessary to get you compensated.
Litigation
Attorneys James M. Merrigan and Robert F. Iwersen are seasoned trial lawyers who aren't afraid to take your case to court. Attorney Merrigan secured the largest jury verdict in Franklin County history—$10 million—because he never backs down from a fight when his client’s future is on the line.
While many personal injury firms shy away from litigation and cajole their clients into accepting inadequate settlements just to get themselves paid, we embrace the fight. When an insurance company wrongfully denies your claim, lowballs your settlement, or when the facts demand to be tested in a courtroom—you can count on us to step up.
We don’t threaten lawsuits just to posture. We file them. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial, and that preparation gives us leverage at every stage of the process. If taking your case to court is what it takes to get you the justice and compensation you deserve, we’re ready—and we won’t hesitate
