Framingham Personal Injury Lawyer | Car Accidents, Slip and Falls & More

At Gavagan Law, we focus on a wide range of personal injury cases, including:

We represent individuals injured in car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle crashes throughout Framingham and the surrounding Massachusetts area. These cases often involve negligent drivers, unsafe lane changes, distracted driving, and other forms of careless operation.

Serious crashes frequently occur along Route 9, Worcester Road, and the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90), where congestion and high speeds increase the risk of significant injury.

Accidents involving commercial vehicles and delivery trucks are also common in Framingham, particularly in high-traffic retail and commercial areas. These cases often involve box trucks, delivery vans, moving trucks, and construction vehicles, and may lead to more serious injuries due to the size and weight of the vehicle. Unlike typical car accidents, these claims frequently involve multiple liable parties, including the driver, their employer, and third parties responsible for maintenance or loading.

Our focus is on recovering compensation for the personal injury aspects of your claim, including:

• Medical expenses and ongoing treatment
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Long-term impact on your health and daily life

Motorcycle accidents, in particular, often result in severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, fractures, and soft tissue damage, requiring extensive medical care. We build strong cases by gathering police reports, witness statements, medical evidence, and, where applicable, commercial vehicle records to support full and fair compensation.

We represent individuals injured in pedestrian accidents in Framingham and throughout the MetroWest area, including busy corridors such as Route 9 (Worcester Road), downtown Framingham, and shopping areas like Shoppers World and Natick Mall.

Pedestrian accidents frequently occur in crosswalks, parking lots, intersections, and high-traffic retail areas, as well as near Framingham State University and MBTA commuter rail stations, where foot traffic and vehicle congestion intersect.

These cases often involve drivers who fail to yield at crosswalks, make unsafe turns, speed through intersections, or drive while distracted. Pedestrians have little protection in a collision, and even low-speed impacts can result in serious injuries, including head trauma, fractures, and long-term complications.

At Gavagan Law, we build strong pedestrian accident claims by gathering police reports, surveillance footage, witness statements, and medical evidence, and we work to hold negligent drivers accountable while pursuing full compensation for the impact of your injuries.

We represent cyclists injured in bicycle accidents in Framingham and throughout the MetroWest area, including nearby high-traffic and recreational cycling routes such as the Minuteman Bikeway, Cochituate Rail Trail, and roads connecting to Concord and Walden Pond.

Bicycle crashes frequently occur near Framingham State University, Route 9, and busy intersections, as well as on shared-use paths where cyclists interact with vehicles, pedestrians, and other riders. Many riders travel between Framingham, Natick, Concord, and Lexington, increasing exposure to both traffic congestion and unsafe road conditions.

Even low-speed bicycle accidents can result in serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, fractures, and long-term orthopedic complications. These cases often involve negligent drivers who fail to yield, unsafe passing, distracted driving, or dooring incidents.

At Gavagan Law, we build strong bicycle accident claims by gathering police reports, witness statements, medical records, and scene evidence, and we pursue compensation for the full impact of your injuries while holding negligent parties accountable.

We represent individuals injured in slip and fall and premises liability accidents in Framingham and throughout the MetroWest area, including retail centers, apartment complexes, restaurants, and commercial properties.

Fall accidents frequently occur at shopping areas such as Shoppers World and Natick Mall, grocery stores, parking lots, sidewalks, and residential buildings, as well as along busy corridors like Route 9 (Worcester Road) where foot traffic is high. These incidents are often caused by wet or slippery floors, snow and ice, uneven walkways, poor lighting, or negligent property maintenance.

Under Massachusetts law, property owners and businesses have a duty to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to address known hazards. When they fail to do so, serious injuries can result, including fractures, head injuries, and long-term mobility issues.

We build strong premises liability claims by securing incident reports, surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements early—holding negligent property owners accountable.

We represent families in nursing home negligence and wrongful death cases in Framingham and throughout the MetroWest area, including assisted living facilities and long-term care centers. Nursing homes have a duty to provide safe and appropriate care. When facilities fail to meet that obligation, the consequences can be severe or even fatal.

These cases often involve:

• Falls caused by inadequate supervision
• Failure to provide proper medical care
• Delayed response to medical emergencies
• Neglect of basic needs, including hygiene and nutrition
• Choking incidents caused by improper supervision, feeding, or care planning

At Gavagan Law, we investigate these claims by reviewing medical records, facility reports, care plans, and staffing practices, and pursue accountability and compensation for serious harm and wrongful death.

We conduct thorough investigations by reviewing medical records, staff logs, care plans, and facility protocols. We work with qualified experts to establish that the facility breached its duty of care and that the neglect caused serious harm. We pursue full compensation for medical expenses, ongoing care, emotional suffering, and, in tragic cases, wrongful death.

We represent workers injured in construction accidents and workplace incidents in Framingham and throughout the MetroWest area, including active job sites along Route 9 (Worcester Road), commercial developments, and residential construction projects.

If you were injured on the job, you may have a claim beyond workers’ compensation where third-party negligence is involved—such as general contractors, subcontractors, property owners, or equipment manufacturers. Construction injury claims often involve multiple parties, making early investigation critical to identify all sources of liability.

Common construction-related injuries include:

• Falls from heights, scaffolding, or ladders
• Falling objects and struck-by incidents
• Unsafe equipment or machinery failures
• Electrical hazards and unsafe worksite conditions

At Gavagan Law, we build these cases by securing incident reports, OSHA records, witness statements, and site documentation, and we pursue compensation for your injuries while holding negligent third parties accountable.

We handle complex cases involving medical malpractice and defective products in Framingham and throughout Massachusetts, including claims arising from hospitals, medical providers, and unsafe consumer or medical devices.

These cases often involve:

• Medical negligence, including surgical errors and misdiagnosis
• Injuries caused by defective products or medical devices
• Failures in treatment, diagnosis, or patient care

These claims require careful analysis and a strong evidentiary foundation. At Gavagan Law, we build these cases by reviewing medical records, consulting qualified experts, and evaluating whether the standard of care was breached, and we pursue compensation for the full impact of your injuries.
