Plymouth is the largest town by land area in Massachusetts and one of the fastest-growing communities on the South Shore — and with growth comes traffic on Route 3, construction sites at The Pinehills, busy retail at Colony Place, and a year-round tourism economy along the downtown waterfront. When a crash, a fall, or a workplace injury happens in Plymouth, Shea Culgin Law is ready to take the case.
Our office at 1350 Belmont Street, Suite 109, Brockton, MA 02301 sits about 30 to 40 minutes from Plymouth Center via Route 44 or Route 3 — close enough that attorneys Robert Shea and Joseph Culgin, with more than 20 years of experience, regularly handle injury and workers’ compensation matters for Plymouth residents. We also meet clients by phone and video, and we can come to you if injuries make travel difficult.
The Courts That Handle Plymouth Injury Cases
Plymouth has the advantage of having its courts in town. Plymouth District Court at 52 Obery Street covers Plymouth along with Kingston, Duxbury, Marshfield, Pembroke, Halifax, Hanson, and Plympton, and it hears smaller-value injury suits. Larger personal injury and wrongful death cases are filed in Plymouth County Superior Court, which sits in the same Obery Street complex in Plymouth and also in Brockton — a few minutes from our office. Workers’ compensation claims do not go to these courts at all; they proceed through the Massachusetts Department of Industrial Accidents (DIA). We practice in all three forums.

Plymouth Injury Questions We Hear Often
Do I have to hire a lawyer located in Plymouth?
No. What matters is experience with Plymouth County courts and the DIA. Our Brockton office handles cases across the county, and the Superior Court itself splits its sessions between Plymouth and Brockton.
I was hurt in a crash on Route 3 in Plymouth — who pays my medical bills first?
Your own auto insurer pays first through Personal Injury Protection (PIP), regardless of fault, up to $8,000. If your injuries are serious, we pursue the at-fault driver’s insurer for everything PIP does not cover, including pain and suffering.
I was injured working at a Plymouth restaurant or hotel. Am I covered?
Almost certainly yes. Massachusetts requires nearly every employer — including seasonal hospitality businesses — to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Coverage applies from your first day on the job, even for part-time and seasonal staff.
