Swampscott Personal Injury Lawyer

Muggeo & Associates represents people injured in Swampscott. Swampscott is small, but its coastal roads, beaches, commuter rail station and steady pass-through traffic between Lynn and Marblehead create real injury risks, and we help residents and visitors pursue fair compensation.

Where Swampscott Injuries Happen

Most traffic through Swampscott travels Paradise Road (Route 1A) and Humphrey Street (Route 129), which runs along the waterfront and beaches. Summer beach traffic, cyclists, joggers and pedestrians crossing to the shore share these roads with commuters, which leads to pedestrian knockdowns, bicycle crashes and rear-end collisions. Vinnin Square, at the Swampscott-Salem-Marblehead line, adds heavy retail turning traffic.

Older homes and multi-family rentals, steep driveways and coastal winter weather also make snow and ice falls a recurring problem. Massachusetts property owners must use reasonable care to address snow and ice hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions

I was hit while crossing Humphrey Street. What should I do?

Get medical care first. Ask police for the crash report, write down witness names, and photograph the crosswalk, signals and your injuries. In Massachusetts, a pedestrian’s medical bills may initially be covered through PIP on an applicable auto policy.
