Saugus Personal Injury Lawyer
Muggeo & Associates represents people injured in Saugus, home to one of the busiest commercial highways in Massachusetts. If you were hurt on Route 1, at a Saugus business or on a local street, we can help you understand your rights and deal with the insurance companies.
The Route 1 Corridor
Route 1 through Saugus combines highway speeds with a near-continuous strip of businesses, restaurants and shopping centers, including Square One Mall. Drivers merging in and out of parking lots, sudden braking, U-turns and limited crossing points for pedestrians make this stretch a frequent site of serious crashes. Route 107 and Route 129 also carry heavy traffic between Saugus, Lynn and Revere.
Retail and restaurant activity also brings premises liability claims: falls on wet floors, poorly maintained parking lots, inadequate lighting and untreated snow and ice.

- Car accidents on Route 1 and local roads

Frequently Asked Questions
Who pays if I was injured in a store parking lot?
It depends on how the injury happened. A collision with another vehicle is usually an auto insurance claim. A fall caused by a pothole, poor lighting or ice may be a claim against whoever owns or maintains the lot, which is not always the store.
The insurance company already made an offer. Should I accept it?
Early offers often come before the full extent of an injury is known. Once you sign a release, you generally cannot reopen the claim. Read our guide on early insurance offers before deciding.
