Guardianship

DUI/DWI
McGowan & Associates and our South Shore personal injury lawyers represent individuals who have been injured due to negligence in car accidents, premises liability accidents, construction accidents, product liability, dog bites, medical malpractice, child injuries and wrongful death. Our attorneys have decades of experience representing those injured in motor vehicle crashes in Plymouth County, the Boston area and across Massachusetts, including drunk driving crashes; pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and property damage caused by motor vehicles. Learn more.
Wrongful Death
When a loved one is lost due to the carelessness or recklessness of another, there may be legal consequences for those who are responsible. This can include compensation for medical bills, lost wages, funeral expenses, and other financial losses. No settlement can compensate a family for the death of a loved one. Accidents that result in the death of a loved one due to another person’s actions or inaction are often referred to as wrongful death cases, which fall in the civil rather than criminal forum. Wrongful death can result from car accidents, pedestrian accidents, use of unsafe products or a property owner’s failure to maintain their property, along with other incidents stemming from negligence. Our laws afford protections for the spouse, children and parents of the deceased. In certain cases, a wrongful death lawsuit may seek punitive damages. For general laws concerning wrongful death, please visit the Massachusetts Legislature’s page on Massachusetts General Law Chapter 229, Section 2.
Traffic Violations
On the South Shore, drivers cause many car accidents by speeding through local neighborhoods, school zones or parking lots. Cell phone use and distracted driving are also leading causes of pedestrian accidents, even after Massachusetts introduced a hands-free driving law.
Hit and Run
After a pedestrian or bike crash, contact McGowan & Associates immediately if you are able. We can advise you of your legal rights for seeking compensation from the driver and work with police to conduct an immediate investigation before evidence is lost. Our attorneys are experienced at examining crash scenes and asking the critical questions. The hours and minutes after a pedestrian crash in particular are critical; 1 out of 5 pedestrians are hit by a hit-and-run driver.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Disputes
Are you opening a business or considering changes to an existing one? Maybe you are buying commercial or residential property. Business law is not just making deals and there is more to real estate than getting a mortgage. In forming, running and selling a business there are a myriad of legal decisions to be made which can affect everything from your tax liability to your control of how the business runs. In buying a home or commercial property an attorney can help you sort out the complexities zoning, covenants and financing. Our experienced counsel can help you make the right decisions and negotiate the best terms.

Premises Liability
Slip and fall (or trip and fall) incidents commonly occur as a result of unsafe or dangerous conditions on a public or private property. Although statistics from the Center for Disease Control show that only one in five slips and fall event results in a serious injury, such incidents remain among the leading causes of emergency room visits in the United States, accounting for up to 8 Million visits per year, or roughly one fifth of all emergency room visits. Such premises liability incidents are often preventable if reasonable care is provided by the property owner or manager. However, such incidents remain prevalent in public places, like walkways, grocery and convenience stores, retail stores, shopping malls, dance clubs, health clubs, homes, apartment buildings, government buildings, restaurants, hotels, schools, bus and train stations, and workplaces.

Chris has two decades of experience representing buyers, sellers and lenders in every facet of residential real estate transactions. His broad experience and fastidious approach ensures smooth real estate closings for his clients.

He also handles a case load that includes premises liability, property coverage, automobile claims, business claims, breach of contract and bad faith causes of action, suits arising out of material misrepresentations in applications for insurance, and pre-suit investigations of SIU matters.

Personal Injury
Time is of the essence in how you handle the events following a personal injury incident or resolve a contentious business or real estate dispute. You do not have to travel away from the South Shore to secure the “big city” level of representation that our attorneys provide.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice occurs when a physician or other medical provider deviates from accepted procedures or otherwise neglects to administer proper care to the patient, resulting in physical, emotional, or mental damages. This may include the failure to properly diagnose a disease or to administer proper treatments or medications.
Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
At McGowan & Associates, we understand that being bitten or attacked by a dog may be a traumatic and life-changing event. Dog bites are a frequent occurrence on the South Shore and across the Boston area, partly due to an increase in dog ownership in recent years and party due to owners who are not restraining their dogs. Such incidents can result in physical injuries, emotional scars, and lasting fear. If you or a loved one has been attacked or bitten by a dog, you may be entitled to compensation fo r your injuries, including medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and in some circumstances punitive damages.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Thoughtful estate planning allows a living person to design arrangements for the distribution of their estate, and protect their assets. Estate planning should be viewed as a critical foundation for every family, and it is never too soon to take steps to protect what you own, now and for the future. By securing an estate plan now, you can insure that you and your loved ones have continued financial security, and prevent against issues and disputes that may otherwise arise.
