Marshfield lives two lives. From September to June it is a commuter town of roughly 25,000 organized around Route 139 — Plain Street becoming Ocean Street as it runs toward the sea. In summer, the beach villages of Brant Rock, Green Harbor, Ocean Bluff, and Rexhame fill with visitors, and each August the Marshfield Fair — running since 1867 — draws crowds in the six figures to the fairgrounds. More people, more traffic, and more activity mean more injuries, and when negligence causes one, Shea Culgin Law answers for Marshfield families.
Robert Shea and Joseph Culgin have spent more than 20 years representing injured people throughout Plymouth County. Our office at 1350 Belmont Street, Suite 109, Brockton, MA 02301 is roughly a half-hour from Marshfield center — Route 139 itself runs from our side of the county straight into town through Hanover and Pembroke. Phone and video consultations make distance irrelevant.
The Courts That Handle Marshfield Cases
Smaller injury suits arising in Marshfield are brought in Plymouth District Court at 52 Obery Street, Plymouth, which serves Marshfield along with Duxbury, Halifax, Hanson, Kingston, Pembroke, Plymouth, and Plympton. Major injury and wrongful death litigation is filed in Plymouth County Superior Court, sitting in Brockton and Plymouth. Work injury claims run through the Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents instead of the court system. We appear regularly in all three forums.

Common Questions from Marshfield Clients
Where do seriously injured Marshfield patients get treated?
South Shore Hospital at 55 Fogg Road in South Weymouth is the regional emergency hospital and the only verified Level II trauma center south of Boston. For minor injuries, there is a MinuteClinic inside the CVS at 1880 Ocean Street, but anything significant belongs in an emergency department — both medically and for the record your claim will rely on.
Does the summer population surge actually affect injury claims?
It affects how many happen, not the law that governs them. Beach traffic on Ocean Street, crowded lots in Brant Rock, and packed restaurants raise the frequency of crashes and falls — but each claim is decided on the same negligence standards year-round.
I was hurt at a seasonal event in town. Who is responsible?
It depends on who controlled the premises and what went wrong — an event operator, a vendor, a property owner, or some combination. Sorting out the responsible party and their insurer is one of the first things we do.
