Taunton is the Silver City — a community of roughly 60,000 people, the commercial heart of northern Bristol County, and home to one of the largest industrial parks in Massachusetts. It is also a city where Route 24, Route 44, Route 140, Route 138, and I-495 all converge, putting enormous traffic volume through its corridors every day. When that volume produces a crash, or when a fall or a workplace accident leaves a Taunton resident injured, Shea Culgin Law is built to handle the claim.
Attorneys Robert Shea and Joseph Culgin have spent more than 20 years representing injured people in southeastern Massachusetts. Our office at 1350 Belmont Street, Suite 109, Brockton, MA 02301 is a short run from Taunton — straight down Route 24 to the Route 44 or I-495 interchanges, typically 20 to 25 minutes door to door. We also handle consultations by phone and video, and we travel to clients whose injuries make the trip difficult.
Where Taunton Cases Are Heard
Taunton District Court at 40 Broadway handles smaller-value civil claims for Taunton along with Raynham, Easton, Berkley, Dighton, Rehoboth, and Seekonk. Higher-value personal injury and wrongful death suits go to Bristol County Superior Court — the county’s civil sessions are currently heard at the New Bedford courthouse at 441 County Street, while the historic Taunton Superior Court building at 9 Court Street handles criminal sessions. Workers’ compensation disputes follow a different track entirely, through the Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA). We practice in every one of these forums.

Questions Taunton Clients Ask Us
Does it matter that your office is in Brockton rather than Taunton?
No. Bristol County injury cases are won with evidence, medical documentation, and negotiation — not office geography. We are minutes up Route 24, we know the Taunton District Court and the DIA, and we come to you when needed.
I was hurt in a crash near the Route 24/I-495 interchange. Which town’s police report do I need?
It depends on where the crash occurred and who responded — Taunton Police, a neighboring department, or the Massachusetts State Police on the highways. We identify the responding agency and obtain the report as one of the first steps in every case.
I was injured working at Myles Standish Industrial Park. Is my claim against my employer or someone else?
Usually both paths matter. Your workers’ compensation claim runs against your employer’s insurer regardless of fault, and if a third party — a contractor, a vendor, a negligent driver — caused the injury, a separate liability claim may be available on top of comp benefits.
