James M. Merrigan, Esq.

For nearly 30 years, Attorney James M. Merrigan has been a trusted advocate for injured individuals across Massachusetts. He has recovered tens of millions of dollars on behalf of his clients through both settlements and jury verdicts, earning a reputation as a seasoned litigator and tireless trial attorney.

 

Jim has successfully represented thousands of clients from more than 175 cities and towns throughout the Commonwealth in a wide range of personal injury cases, including motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall incidents, animal attacks, injuries sustained in assisted living and nursing home facilities, and more.

 

His courtroom success is underscored by securing a historic $10 million jury verdict, the largest ever awarded in Franklin County.

 

Jim separates himself from other lawyers with his accessibility to clients. He believes that strong representation starts with clear communication. Clients can reach him directly via his personal cell phone—call or text—without layers of gatekeepers. Former clients consistently note the ease with which they could contact Jim and the personal attention they received throughout the legal process.
