Trusted Personal Injury Lawyers in Quincy, MA

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Quincy

The geography and economy of Quincy create a specific set of injury patterns. These are the cases we see most frequently and handle most effectively for clients in this city.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Few cities south of Boston carry the traffic burden that Quincy does. Interstate 93 connects the city to downtown Boston and the South Shore, and it’s a pressure cooker during peak hours. Route 3A threads along the coast through Quincy Point and Germantown, where intersections become chaotic when combined with distracted driving and New England winter conditions. Quincy Center, near the Red Line terminal, adds another layer with buses, ride-shares, pedestrians, and commuters all competing for space in a compressed urban grid. 

Crashes on these corridors often cause severe injuries, such as whiplash, spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries, and broken bones requiring extensive treatment. Massachusetts no-fault insurance covers medical bills, but serious injuries open the door to pursuing a claim directly against the at-fault driver, a process far more effective with an experienced attorney guiding it.

Truck and Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Quincy’s commercial zones along Southern Artery and Hancock Street see consistent delivery traffic, and the waterfront adds further commercial vehicle activity tied to the maritime economy. When a large truck is involved in a crash, injuries tend to be more serious and liability questions more complex. The driver, the trucking company, a cargo loader, or a maintenance contractor could all share responsibility. We conduct a thorough investigation and pursue every liable party. 

Slip and Fall Accidents

Massachusetts premises liability law requires property owners to keep their spaces reasonably safe. In Quincy, that applies everywhere from restaurants and retailers in Quincy Center to apartment complexes near Wollaston Beach and the parking garages serving the commuter rail station. Winter creates the most consistent hazard. Quincy’s coastal location means heavy rain, and the freeze-thaw cycle can turn sidewalks into ice rinks overnight. A fall that seems minor in the moment can result in hip fractures, head trauma, or spinal damage with long recovery timelines and grave financial consequences. 

Workplace Injuries

Quincy’s economy is diverse, which creates a wide range of workplace hazards. Active construction sites near the waterfront and downtown, healthcare facilities across the South Shore, and retail and service environments all pose risks. Workers’ compensation covers many scenarios but has limits. It excludes pain and suffering and rarely replaces full wages. When a third party’s negligence contributed to the injury, a separate personal injury claim may be available alongside the workers’ comp case. We help clients identify and pursue all avenues of recovery.

Medical Malpractice

Quincy residents rely on South Shore Hospital and a network of specialty clinics for their healthcare. But medical mistakes happen, such as missed diagnoses, surgical errors, or medications administered at the wrong dose. These cases require thorough medical record review, qualified expert testimony, and attorneys experienced enough to challenge the institutional defense teams that hospitals deploy. We have that experience and use it to advocate effectively for patients harmed by medical negligence.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Massachusetts holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries caused by their animals, regardless of prior behavior. If you were bitten while on a public street, at a park along the Quincy shoreline, or visiting someone’s home, and you weren’t trespassing or provoking the animal, the owner is responsible. Dog bites cause significant physical harm, and the psychological aftermath can linger long after wounds heal. We pursue full compensation for both dimensions.

Wrongful Death

Losing a family member to someone else’s negligence is life-changing. Massachusetts wrongful death law allows surviving spouses, children, and dependents to seek compensation for funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship. We handle these cases with the care they require, advocating firmly while treating grieving families with the sensitivity they deserve.
