On behalf of posted in wrongful death on Wednesday February 26, 2014

Accidents happen. It is an undeniable fact of life. Luckily, they can sometimes be just a minor inconvenience. Other times, however, they are more serious and have life-altering effects. A car wreck that happened about two years ago is in the latter category for a Massachusetts teenager who could potentially face a wrongful death lawsuit for his role in its occurrence. The fatal accident happened in Nov. 2012. According to reports, the 18-year-old man failed to stop for a traffic light that had turned red. The man's car then collided with another vehicle that was traveling through the intersection at the time.…

Pedestrians can be the most vulnerable individuals who are located on or near the road when they are compared to the various vehicles that are driven on the same roads. This, combined with the negligence of some drivers, can be a dangerous combination that ends with the injury or death of the pedestrian. Unfortunately, a pedestrian accident in Massachusetts recently killed one person. The victim was a 74-year-old man who was walking near his house at around 8:20 a.m. The driver did not stop after the accident took place, but emergency personnel arrived soon after the accident and transported the man to…

Interstates can be an excellent way for drivers to quickly get to their locations, but the high speeds and rapid lane changes that often accompany interstates can create very dangerous situations.

Unfortunately, a car accident in Massachusetts recently involved multiple vehicles and sent one woman to the hospital. The accident took place on the night of Feb. 17 at around 6 p.m. and involved five vehicles. The actual cause of the accident and the driver at fault are not known…

Massachusetts company cited to prevent workplace accident

On behalf of posted in Workers' Compensation on Saturday February 15, 2014

When a company appears to take the safety of its workers for granted, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration can step in. The agency can levy fines and penalties reaching thousands of dollars if they think it is warranted. The cost to the company is considered a deterrent to unsafe practices, meant to help prevent a future workplace accident from happening. A Massachusetts excavation company is facing fines of nearly $150,000. The penalty was assessed for safety violations incurred while the company's workers were completing a water pipe installation. According to OSHA officials, the investigation was prompted by anonymous complaints about the…

On behalf of posted in Pedestrian Accidents on Saturday February 15, 2014

Pedestrians are often more prone to being injured if they are involved in an accident with a motor vehicle of any type. The lack of protection that someone outside of a vehicle has makes them very vulnerable when put in a dangerous situation with a car. Unfortunately, multiple people were injured in a pedestrian accident at a Massachusetts college recently. The accident took place on Feb. 3 at around 6 p.m. and involved one vehicle and multiple pedestrians. The three pedestrians were attempting to cross the road at a designated crosswalk when they were reportedly hit by the driver. The three victims…

The short time directly after an accident takes place can be a time of confusion and chaos. The police are attempting to figure out what happened and those who are impacted are attempting to come to grips with what just happened. If someone is killed they must be identified, and then the police has the task of gently telling the person's family. Unfortunately, this may well be what is taking place after a fatal car accident in Massachusetts took the life of one person. The accident took place on the morning of Feb. 4 at around 9:30 a.m. between a car and…

Repairing a broken water line can be a fairly common duty for someone who works for the Department of Public Works. Although it is not an easy job, it is not one that is typically considered to be life-threatening or excessively dangerous. Sadly, for two Massachusetts men who were recently victims of a workplace accident, it was both. One man was killed and another man was injured in the early evening accident. The two were part of a crew of city employees that was fixing a break in one of the city's water lines. During the repair, a piece of heavy…

On behalf of posted in Fatal Motor Vehicle Accidents on Friday February 7, 2014

Often car accidents are caused by the negligence of one of the drivers who is involved or by other conditions that cannot be helped. However, some collisions are caused by the negligence of drivers who are not even directly involved, such as if something falls off a person's vehicle and obstructs part of the roadway. Unfortunately, one such fatal car accident took place in Massachusetts recently. The accident took place on Jan. 28 at around 3 p.m. and involved two vehicles. According to investigators, a mattress had fallen off of a truck onto the roadway. The victim hit her brakes in an…

Massachusetts wrongful death: Mattress fell from Rte. 128 pickup

On behalf of posted in wrongful death on Wednesday February 5, 2014

Experienced drivers in Massachusetts and elsewhere know to expect the unexpected when driving. It can sometimes be the difference in keeping a near-miss from becoming an actual accident or even a wrongful death. Unfortunately, even excellent drivers cannot always anticipate what is going to happen or the effect it will have on their lives. A woman was killed and another man injured while trying to avoid hitting a mattress that had flown off a pickup truck and landed on the road in front of them. The two were in separate cars when the incident occurred. The woman stopped without warning to…
