Marblehead Personal Injury Lawyer

Muggeo & Associates represents people injured in Marblehead, on land and on the water. Marblehead’s harbor, narrow historic streets and seasonal visitors create injury risks that differ from the highway towns around it, and our firm’s boating and maritime experience is well suited to them.

Marblehead’s Harbor and Boating Injuries

Marblehead Harbor is one of the busiest recreational harbors on the East Coast, and summer brings crowded moorings, racing fleets, launches and tenders. Collisions between vessels, falls aboard boats and on docks, propeller injuries and injuries to passengers or crew can all give rise to claims. These cases can involve federal maritime law, vessel registration and insurance questions, and deadlines that differ from an ordinary car accident.

Attorney Jared J. Muggeo holds a 100-Ton United States Coast Guard Master license, which gives our firm practical knowledge of vessel operation and navigation rules when we evaluate a boating accident claim.

Streets, Sidewalks and Seasonal Traffic

Pleasant Street (Route 114) and Atlantic Avenue (Route 129) carry most traffic into town, while Old Town’s narrow, winding streets, limited sight lines and uneven brick and granite sidewalks lead to pedestrian, cyclist and trip-and-fall injuries, particularly during busy summer weekends and in winter ice.

Cases We Handle for Marblehead Residents

Where a Marblehead Case Is Filed

Civil cases arising in Marblehead are generally heard in the Lynn District Court at 580 Essex Street, which serves Lynn, Marblehead, Nahant, Saugus and Swampscott. Larger claims are typically filed in Essex County Superior Court in Salem. Some maritime claims may belong in federal court.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a boating accident?

Get medical care, and record the names of the vessels and operators involved, registration numbers, witnesses, weather and water conditions, and photographs. Serious boating accidents may also need to be reported to authorities. Speak with a lawyer before giving a recorded statement to any insurer.
