Plymouth Personal Injury Lawyer

Plymouth’s mix of historic downtown streets, busy Route 3A traffic, and coastal recreation creates a surprising range of accident scenarios. Whether you were rear-ended on Court Street, injured on a whale-watch charter out of the harbor, or slipped on icy steps at Colony Place, you deserve an advocate who understands both Massachusetts law and the local realities that shape juries in Plymouth County. Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers brings more than three decades of focused personal-injury experience to every case, combining deep legal knowledge with on-the-ground familiarity with the Plymouth County Superior Court and the Plymouth District Court courthouses at 52 Obery Street.

• Home-court insight. Jurors in historic Plymouth often give substantial weight to community values such as personal responsibility and safe public spaces. A lawyer who has tried cases in these same courtrooms can tailor arguments and voir dire to resonate authentically.
• Proximity to crash scenes and experts. Quick site inspections, photos, and interviews with local witnesses preserve crucial evidence before conditions change.
• Network of Plymouth-area physicians and rehabilitation specialists for you to pick from. Fast referrals options help document injuries while getting you treated by providers whose reports are respected by insurers and opposing counsel.

Most negligence lawsuits in the Commonwealth must be filed within three years of the date the cause of action accrues. Courts strictly enforce this deadline. Waiting even a single day beyond it risks losing all rights to compensation, so early legal consultation is critical.

Massachusetts follows a 51-percent bar rule: you may recover damages as long as your fault does not exceed the combined fault of all defendants. Your award is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. Insurance adjusters exploit this doctrine aggressively; meticulous investigation and persuasive storytelling are essential to keep fault percentages low.

Non-economic damages such as pain and suffering are often capped at $500,000 in most medical-malpractice actions, unless the plaintiff proves permanent loss of a bodily function, substantial disfigurement, or other “special circumstances. Strategic case framing and expert testimony are often required to pierce the cap.

• Motor-Vehicle Collisions. Route 44 and Route 3 generate significant high-speed traffic; distracted driving and seasonal tourism spikes heighten crash risks.
• Boating and Maritime Accidents. From ferry docks to private marinas, we navigate the overlap between state tort law and federal admiralty principles.
• Premises Liability. Coastal weather leads to icy walkways in winter and slippery boardwalks in summer. Property owners have a duty to correct hazards or warn visitors.
• Construction and Workplace Injuries. Plymouth’s ongoing waterfront redevelopment creates heavy equipment dangers. We coordinate third-party tort claims with workers ‘ comp benefits.
• Defective Products. Cranberry bog machinery, recreational gear, and household devices can all trigger strict liability actions when flawed design or manufacturing causes injury.
• Wrongful Death. Families may seek economic support, funeral expenses, and punitive damages available only under the Massachusetts wrongful-death statute.

Police crash reports, surveillance footage from Main and Market Streets, OSHA findings, and Coast Guard logs often disappear quickly. Our rapid-response team secures this evidence before memories fade.

Well-documented demand packages, including medical bills, wage statements, and future-care projections, signal to insurers that trial-ready counsel is involved, frequently prompting early settlements.

Most serious injury suits in Plymouth County begin in the Superior Court’s civil session, while smaller claims or motor-vehicle cases with limited damages may proceed in District Court. Venue selection affects jury size, discovery scope, and case length.

We partner with forensic engineers to reconstruct vehicle speeds on Long Pond Road or with ergonomists to analyze stair-design code violations at The Village Landing. Treating physicians testify to causal links between trauma and long-term disability.

If negotiations stall, our attorneys present compelling narratives to mediators and, when necessary, to Plymouth County jurors. Our track record in verdicts and settlements drives insurer risk calculations.

• Medical Expenses (past and future), including surgical procedures at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Plymouth and specialized rehab.
• Lost Income for time away from work, diminished earning capacity, or career retraining.
• Pain and Suffering reflect physical discomfort, emotional distress, and loss of life enjoyment. The medical-malpractice cap noted above may apply.
• Scarring and Disfigurement are particularly salient in boating-propeller injuries or dog bites.
• Punitive Damages in wrongful-death actions when egregious misconduct is proven.
• Loss of Consortium compensates spouses or minor children for the disruption of family life.

Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers advances litigation costs and charges fees only out of a successful recovery.

Massachusetts requires every auto policy to include uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. We pursue maximum benefits from your own insurer while targeting other liable parties (e.g., vehicle owners, commercial employers, bar establishments serving visibly intoxicated patrons).

Yes. Insurers monitor public profiles looking for photos or comments they can misconstrue. Set accounts to private and avoid discussing the accident.

Claims against municipalities invoke the Massachusetts Tort Claims Act and strict notice requirements within two years. Consulting counsel quickly is vital.
