Quincy Personal Injury Lawyer | Car, Pedestrian & Fall Accidents

At Gavagan Law, we represent individuals and families in a wide range of personal injury cases throughout Quincy, Milton, and the South Shore.

We represent individuals injured in car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle crashes throughout Quincy and Norfolk County. These cases often result from negligent driving and can lead to serious, life-altering injuries.

These cases often involve:

• Distracted driving
• Unsafe lane changes
• Failure to yield
• Speeding and reckless operation
• Drunk or impaired driving

Serious crashes frequently occur along Hancock Street, Newport Avenue, Southern Artery, Adams Street, and Quincy Shore Drive, as well as in high-traffic areas such as Quincy Center and Wollaston.

We handle:

• Car Accidents – Whether you were hit by a distracted, reckless, or uninsured driver, we pursue compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering
• Motorcycle Accidents – Riders often suffer severe injuries in collisions with larger vehicles. We investigate crash scenes and work with experts to hold negligent drivers accountable
• Truck Accidents – These cases often involve delivery trucks, moving vans, box trucks, and construction vehicles. Truck accident claims may involve multiple liable parties, including drivers, employers, and maintenance providers

Due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles, injuries in these crashes are often more severe. We investigate maintenance logs, insurance coverage, and driver training records to maximize recovery.

Pedestrian accidents often occur in crosswalks, parking lots, intersections, and busy commercial areas throughout Quincy.

These cases often involve:

• Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks
• Distracted or inattentive driving
• Speeding in residential or commercial areas
• Unsafe turns at intersections

Pedestrian accidents are common near MBTA Red Line stations, Quincy Center, and high-traffic corridors where foot traffic and vehicle congestion intersect.

We hold negligent drivers accountable and pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and long-term care needs.

Bicycle accidents often occur due to distracted drivers, unsafe passing, and hazardous roadway conditions—even in areas with marked bike lanes.

These cases often involve:

• Distracted or inattentive drivers
• Unsafe passing or failure to yield
• Dooring incidents involving parked vehicles
• Dangerous roadway conditions

Cyclists are especially vulnerable to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and fractures.

We build strong claims by securing police reports, witness statements, medical records, and scene evidence to pursue full compensation.

We represent individuals injured in slip and fall accidents and premises liability cases throughout Quincy and surrounding communities.

Under Massachusetts law, property owners must maintain reasonably safe conditions. When they fail to do so, they may be held liable for resulting injuries.

We build strong claims by securing incident reports, surveillance footage, maintenance records, and witness statements.

Massachusetts law holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs—even if the dog has never bitten before.

Dog bite cases often involve:

• Unrestrained or improperly controlled dogs
• Attacks in residential neighborhoods or public spaces
• Injuries requiring medical treatment, including lacerations, scarring, infections, and nerve damage

We pursue compensation for the full impact of your injuries while holding negligent dog owners accountable.

• Choking incidents caused by improper care

We investigate these claims by reviewing medical records, facility reports, care plans, and staffing practices, and we work with qualified experts to establish that the facility breached its duty of care and 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 throughout Quincy and Norfolk County.

If you were injured on the job, you may have a personal injury claim beyond workers’ compensation where third-party negligence is involved.

These cases often involve:

Common construction-related injuries include:

• Falls from heights, scaffolding, or ladders

• Electrical hazards and unsafe worksite conditions

At Gavagan Law, we develop these claims by securing incident reports, OSHA records, witness statements, and site documentation, and we pursue compensation while holding negligent third parties accountable.
