Hearing set in wrongful death of Massachusetts woman

On behalf of posted in wrongful death on Tuesday December 31, 2013

Typical Massachusetts teenagers should have a myriad of opportunities available to them. They are young and just starting to make their mark on the world. That bright future can change in an instant, however, if an automobile accident causes the wrongful death of another person. A 19-year-old Massachusetts man could face charges for his alleged role in the death of a 65-year-old woman. The man's arraignment is set to proceed after a magistrate's hearing, which is scheduled for late February. If it is then determined that there is sufficient cause to proceed, the man's current citation will instead become a criminal complaint.…

Wintery conditions can often have an effect on a driver's ability to react, but this does not mean that negligence is acceptable on the driver's part. Crosswalks are supposed to allow pedestrians a safe way to cross the street, however, they can be dangerous if drivers do not recognize them as well. A woman was tragically killed last week in a pedestrian accident in Massachusetts. The woman who was killed was 77 years old and was a Boston resident. The accident occurred on Dec. 19 when the woman was hit by a 67-year-old man while trying to cross the street in a…

The holidays often mean traveling for many families, and this can also mean congested highways across the nation. Although flying is usually the quickest option for long-distance travel, many families decide to drive to their family Christmas celebrations.

Massachusetts postal worker’s wrongful death caused by heat

On behalf of posted in wrongful death on Wednesday December 25, 2013

Neither rain nor snow will stop the mailman. It's a common saying and part of the unofficial motto of the United States Postal Service. When the determination to carry on, no matter what the Massachusetts weather brings, results in a wrongful death, that saying may require some tweaking. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently cited the USPS for failing to have an adequate program in place that educated postal workers about the dangers of working outside when the thermometer hits high numbers. The ruling came after a Massachusetts postal worker suffered extreme heat stroke and died. The man collapsed after…

On behalf of posted in Spinal Cord Injuries on Wednesday December 18, 2013

Although the Christmas season should be a time of happiness and good will, for many people it can often end up being a very stressful occasion. Extra expenses on top of the standard monthly bills can strain an already too-tight budget. A Massachusetts man who suffered a back injury last year knows this reality all too well. The man sent a letter to Globe Santa asking for assistance. He stated that he is a single parent raising two little girls on his own. He explained that he suffered a back injury last year that affected both his legs and caused damage to…

Man arrested for causing Massachusetts bus accident

On behalf of posted in Commercial Vehicle Accidents on Tuesday December 17, 2013

The investigation of an accident can sometimes take an extended period of time, which can indirectly hurt the family of the victim as they wait to find the cause of their loved one's death. Even after investigations are completed and the person who is supposedly responsible is arrested, the legal system can be a long and confusing road. In Massachusetts, a man was recently arrested for his involvement in a bus accident that killed one woman. The original accident occurred on Dec. 5, 2012, when the defendant was driving a bus and struck a 62-year-old woman as she attempted to cross the…

Traffic can be the main factor when an accident occurs, however this does not excuse drivers who cause the collisions when they are driving in a negligent manner. Drivers must realize that increased attention is very important if traffic is heavy. If this is not realized, the likelihood of an accident occurring is greatly increased. Unfortunately, this became apparent when a car accident in Massachusetts injured several people recently. The accident occurred around 8:30 in the morning when two drivers ran into the cars that were in front of them. The accident ended with six motor vehicles being involved and a total…

Fatal Massachusetts accident may prompt wrongful death lawsuit

On behalf of posted in wrongful death on Tuesday December 10, 2013

Driving while under the influence of alcohol is not only against the law, it's dangerous to everyone involved. When paired with a high rate of speed, driving while impaired can prove to be deadly. A Massachusetts man who allegedly did both could potentially face a wrongful death lawsuit in the aftermath of a car accident that left two people dead and two seriously injured. Reports state the man was drunk and driving his van at high speed. He was unable to maintain control of his vehicle, and it collided into a guardrail. Upon impact, the van then careened onto the other side…

Massachusetts pedestrian accident leaves 1 man with injuries

On behalf of posted in Pedestrian Accidents on Tuesday December 10, 2013

Pedestrians are known for sometimes not using the crosswalk, but this does not mean that drivers have the right-of-way when a pedestrian runs across the street in front of them. Sometimes an accident could have been avoided -- along with the injuries that may follow -- if the driver had been paying full attention to the road instead of the numerous other distractions that are possible when operating a motor vehicle. A pedestrian accident in Massachusetts left a man injured recently. The man was trying to cross the road outside of a crosswalk mid-morning when he was struck by a driver. The…
