Quincy Personal Injury Lawyer | Car, Pedestrian & Fall Accidents

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

We represent accident victims injured in all types of motor vehicle accidents, including those caused by distracted or reckless driving, speeding, drunk driving, unsafe lane changes, failure to yield, and other violations of the driver’s responsibility to drive safely. Whether your crash involved a car, motorcycle, truck, bicycle, or other vehicle, our goal is to secure fair compensation for your medical bills, lost income, and the physical and emotional harm you’ve endured.

• Car Accidents – Whether you were hit by a distracted driver, a reckless driver, or an uninsured motorist, we’ll help you recover compensation for your medical expenses and financial burden.
• Motorcycle Accidents – Riders face severe injuries in crashes. We fight for the rights of injured motorcyclists who were hurt due to negligent drivers.
• Truck Accidents – Truck accidents in Norfolk County can involve delivery trucks, moving vans, box trucks, and construction vehicles. We investigate police reports, witness statements, physical evidence, and maintenance logs to identify all liable parties.
• Bicycle Accidents – Cyclists are vulnerable to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries in crashes with cars and trucks.

Whether you were hit in a crosswalk, parking lot, or sidewalk, our personal injury attorneys hold drivers accountable for serious injuries.

Bicycle accidents can happen due to distracted drivers, and dangerous conditions in the roadway, even with marked bike lanes. Cyclists are vulnerable to traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries in crashes with cars and trucks. We fight for a fair settlement to cover pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, and ongoing medical attention.

• Slip and Fall Accidents– If a property owner failed to maintain a safe space, you may be entitled to compensation for your serious injuries. Fall accidents can happen on icy sidewalks, wet floors, or uneven pavement. If a property owner fails to maintain their property in a reasonably safe manner, they may be liable for personal injuries suffered.
• Dog Bites – Massachusetts law holds dog owners accountable for dog bites, even if their pet has never bitten before.

Truck accidents in Quincy often involve delivery trucks, moving vans in residential neighborhoods, box trucks servicing local businesses, and construction vehicles traveling busy commuter routes. We extensively investigate the accident scene, obtain police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, physical evidence, and maintenance logs to identify all liable parties and build a strong case for recovery.

Types of truck accident cases we handle include:

• Linen trucks making deliveries to hotels, restaurants, and hospitals
• Moving vans serving students, families, and local businesses
• Box trucks and delivery vans from major retailers and courier services
• Food service trucks delivering to restaurants and markets
• Construction trucks like dump trucks, cement mixers, and flatbeds

These vehicles are heavier, harder to maneuver in tight spaces, and have significant blind spots—especially in congested areas like Quincy Center, Wollaston, and Marina Bay. When a commercial vehicle accident occurs, the injured party may suffer serious injuries such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, multiple fractures, and other personal injuries requiring long-term medical treatment.

Our experienced personal injury lawyers investigate every contributing factor, including:

• Improper training or licensing
• Overloaded or unsecured cargo
• Failure to maintain brakes, tires, or safety systems
• Violations of local traffic laws in high-density areas

In personal injury cases involving truck accidents or commercial vehicles, there may be multiple liable parties—the driver, their employer, the vehicle owner, or third-party contractors responsible for loading or maintenance. This often means dealing with multiple insurance companies and complex negotiations. Regardless of the scenario, we fight for maximum compensation you deserve for pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, and non-economic damages like emotional distress.

Placing a family member in a nursing home is a difficult decision, and loved ones deserve to receive care that meets the highest standards. Unfortunately, nursing home negligence is far too common in Quincy, Milton, and surrounding communities, leading to serious injuries and even wrongful death.

Common examples of negligence include:

• Falls and pressure ulcers from inadequate monitoring or unsafe environments
• Failure to develop or follow comprehensive care plans, including fall-risk assessments
• Inadequate supervision of high-risk residents or delayed emergency response
• Ignoring changes in a resident’s condition or failing to provide proper medical treatment

These failures often result in traumatic brain injuries, hip fractures, infections, and other personal injuries requiring costly long-term care and generating substantial medical bills.

Our approach to building a strong nursing home negligence claim:

• We investigate thoroughly—reviewing medical records, staff logs, care plans, and facility protocols.
• We enlist expert testimony to confirm that the facility breached its duty of care and that the neglect caused serious harm.
• We fight for full compensation for medical expenses, ongoing care, emotional suffering, and in tragic cases, wrongful death.

• Medical Malpractice – Health care providers must meet professional standards. If you suffered harm due to a doctor’s negligence, we can help.
