Taunton Personal Injury Lawyer Serving the Silver City and Surrounding Towns

If you were hurt in a crash on Route 24, Route 44, or Route 140 — or in a slip and fall or dog bite incident anywhere in the Taunton area — I can help you understand your options at no cost. I'm Steven Pardini, a personal injury attorney based in Wareham who represents injured people throughout Bristol County, including Taunton, Raynham, Berkley, Norton, and Middleborough. I handle every case personally, I come to you when getting around is difficult, and I don't charge a fee unless I recover money for you.

The Roads Around Taunton Create Real Injury Risks

Route 24, Route 44, and Route 140 carry heavy commuter and commercial traffic through the Taunton area every day. The interchanges near downtown, the Route 44 corridor into Raynham, and the Route 140 approach through Berkley and Norton are all high-volume stretches where rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and truck accidents happen with regularity. Taunton District Court handles many of the civil matters that arise from these accidents, and I'm familiar with how cases in this jurisdiction move.

 

Beyond the highways, Taunton's mix of commercial plazas, residential neighborhoods, and older sidewalks produces a steady number of slip and fall incidents — and Massachusetts dog bite law holds owners strictly liable regardless of whether the dog had bitten anyone before. Whether your injury happened on a roadway or on someone's property, the legal path forward starts with understanding what your claim is worth.

What I Handle for Injured People in Taunton

I represent clients across the full range of personal injury cases that arise in this area:

 

  • Car and truck accidents on Route 24, Route 44, Route 140, and local roads throughout Taunton, Raynham, Berkley, Norton, and Middleborough
  • Slip and fall injuries on commercial property, rental premises, or public walkways where a hazard went unaddressed
  • Dog bites under Massachusetts strict liability — no prior bite history required to bring a claim
  • Motorcycle and pedestrian accidents where the injured party had the right of way and paid the price for someone else's negligence

 

If your situation doesn't fit neatly into one of these categories, call me anyway. A free case review costs you nothing and gives you a clear answer.

A Solo Practice Built Around Personal Attention

I run a small, intentionally lean practice — which means every client I take on works directly with me, not a paralegal or a rotating associate. I've spent roughly 12 years in personal injury law, including nine years across three established firms before opening my own practice. That background shaped how I approach cases: I negotiate first, resolve when I can without filing suit, and litigate when the insurer won't move to a fair number.

 

For clients in Taunton who are dealing with vehicle damage, medical appointments, and time off work all at once, I try to make the legal side as manageable as possible. I'll meet you at your home, at a local coffee shop, or by Zoom — wherever works for you. The goal is to handle the claim so you can focus on recovering.

Nós Falamos Português — Atendimento em Português Disponível

Taunton has a significant Portuguese-heritage community, and I offer legal services in Portuguese for clients who are more comfortable discussing their case in that language. A serious injury is already stressful enough without having to navigate legal terminology in a second language. If you or a family member would prefer to speak Portuguese, that option is available from the first conversation forward.

 

I also serve the broader South Coast Portuguese community across New Bedford and Fall River, where I handle personal injury cases regularly.

Is Your Case Big Enough to Bring to a Lawyer?

This is the question I hear most often from people who've been hurt but aren't sure whether their injuries "count." The honest answer is that the only way to know is to have someone look at the facts — and that review is free. I've seen cases that looked minor on the surface turn out to involve significant medical costs, lost wages, and ongoing pain. I've also been straightforward with people when the facts didn't support a claim worth pursuing. Either way, you leave the conversation knowing where you stand.

 

There's no obligation attached to a free case review, and you won't be pressured into anything. If I can help you, I'll tell you how. If I can't, I'll tell you that too.

Common Questions from Taunton Injury Clients

  • Do I need to come to your office in Wareham to meet with you?

    No. I meet clients wherever is most convenient — your home, a local spot in Taunton, or by phone or Zoom. If you're dealing with injuries that make travel difficult, a house call is a straightforward option.
  • How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Massachusetts?

    Massachusetts sets a three-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, running from the date of the injury. Missing that deadline typically bars your claim entirely, so it's worth getting a case review started sooner rather than later.
  • What does it cost to hire you?

    I work on a contingency fee basis, which means I collect no fee unless I recover money for you. The initial consultation is free, and you won't owe anything out of pocket to get started.
  • Can you help if the at-fault driver was uninsured or underinsured?

    Yes. Uninsured and underinsured motorist claims are a regular part of personal injury practice in Massachusetts. If the driver who hit you didn't carry adequate coverage, your own policy may provide a path to recovery, and I can walk you through how that works.
  • Do you handle cases in Raynham, Norton, Berkley, and Middleborough as well?

    Yes. I serve Taunton and all of the surrounding towns in this part of Bristol County. If your accident happened in any of these communities, the same free case review applies.
