Massachusetts family awarded wrongful death settlement

On behalf of posted in wrongful death on Wednesday November 13, 2013

It's unfortunate whenever a life is cut short prematurely. Often it can feel even more tragic when that life had only recently entered adulthood. For one Massachusetts family, the pain may begin to diminish now that they've reached a settlement in their wrongful death lawsuit, which followed the death of their 20-year-old daughter. The young woman died after tailgating with two friends in the parking lot of Gillette Stadium during a country music festival. One of the friends was driving when her vehicle ran off the road and collided into a tree. Reports show the woman's blood-alcohol level measured roughly three times…

On behalf of posted in car accidents on Sunday November 10, 2013

Interstate accidents can quickly get out of hand because of the pure chaos that usually accompanies them. The high speeds on interstates can play a major factor in the seriousness of an accident. If one of these accidents includes more than one car, the chance of someone being injured is increased. A recent car accident in Massachusetts, involving multiple cars, injured one woman. The accident occurred on Interstate 93 on Oct. 31. Reports stated that the accident happened around 10 p.m. after a state trooper stopped to help a disabled car that was stuck on the side of the road. Another trooper…

Massachusetts pedestrian accident kills 1 and injures another

On behalf of posted in Pedestrian Accidents on Friday November 8, 2013

The victim of a pedestrian accident can often be left with physical injuries or even killed, but the unseen emotional scars that the victim or family can be left with are much more demoralizing. That emotional pain can be amplified if the person who caused the accident does not stop, but instead drives away and leaves the victim there to die. Unfortunately, one such pedestrian accident in Massachusetts recently took the life of one person and left another injured. The accident occurred on Oct. 29 when a man struck the two victims with his sport utility vehicle and then proceeded to drive…

Several Massachusetts riders injured in motorcycle accidents

On behalf of posted in Motorcycle Accidents on Wednesday November 6, 2013

Massachusetts motorcycle riders are well aware of the dangers that exist when riding on open roads with other motor vehicles. The negligence of other drivers is very apparent to motorcyclists, and many find it necessary to stay alert and be ready to act in case they are put in harm's way. The lack of protection that motorcyclists have can add even more risk to these dangerous situations, and they can often be seriously injured or even killed. This year, in the southeast region of Massachusetts alone, 11 motorcycle accidents have occurred and at least two people have been killed. The first death happened on…

Workplace accident causes fines for Massachusetts bakery

On behalf of posted in Workers' Compensation on Tuesday November 5, 2013

Workplace accidents can result in substantial fines and penalties from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration if the company in question is found to be in violation of safety regulations or allowing unsafe practices in their workplace. When someone is injured on the job in Massachusetts, a worker's compensation claim can coincide with the OSHA investigation. The worker's compensation claim can help provide the person who had the workplace accident with often sorely needed insurance benefits to cover medical bills and lost income for time missed from the job while recovering. A Massachusetts bakery was recently cited by OSHA after one of the bakery's…

On behalf of posted in Pedestrian Accidents on Monday November 4, 2013

Car accidents that involve multiple cars can quickly increase in their level of severity each time a new car becomes involved. With each additional vehicle, the chance of someone else receiving serious injuries or being killed increases drastically. Multi-car accidents that involve pedestrians can become even more serious, as the lack of protection for the pedestrian can often leave him or her with seriously injured. A very recent pedestrian accident in Massachusetts injured two people. The accident happened around 7 a.m. on Oct. 18., and Boston police arrived soon after. Initial reports claimed that three different motor vehicles had been involved in…

Law firm must pay premises liability damages to chair victim

On behalf of posted in Premises Liability on Friday November 1, 2013

When a meeting with a professional in his or her office results in a serious enough personal injury to a potential client the purpose of the meeting tends to get lost, and the need for entirely different outcomes may overtake its original purpose. This happened in a locality outside of Massachusetts when a man was meeting with a personal injury lawyer about retaining the lawyer's services. The chair he occupied collapsed and he suffered disabling injuries unrelated to the injuries being discussed in the meeting. The potential client made a claim for personal injury based on premises liability against the personal injury…

Toddler killed by SUV; wrongful death claim possible

On behalf of posted in wrongful death on Thursday October 24, 2013

There are responsibilities that come along with operating a motor vehicle. One of those responsibilities is to check the surrounding area for people before backing up. Too many accidents happen, which could have been prevented by taking a few extra minutes to pay attention before getting into the vehicle. When drivers don't take proper precautions before operating their vehicles, facing a wrongful death claim is a likely reality. A tragedy in Massachusetts happened recently, involving a 2-year-old toddler. Reportedly, the child was playing on a scooter behind an SUV before the accident occurred. The owner of the vehicle was the boy's paternal…

Massachusetts firefighter injured in motorcycle accident

On behalf of posted in Motorcycle Accidents on Thursday October 24, 2013

Firefighters are often seen as invincible heroes. Unfortunately, these men and women are not invincible, and are sometimes hurt or killed in accidents that are not related at all to their jobs. Car accidents are one of the leading causes of death in America, and have even taken the lives of off-duty firefighters. A Massachusetts firefighter was seriously injured recently in a car accident involving a drunk driver. The Massachusetts firefighter was involved in a hit-and-run accident on Oct. 16 at around 9:30 p.m. He was riding his motorcycle when a van pulled out in front of him, and the two collided.…

Pedestrian accident in Massachusetts injures 1 person

On behalf of posted in Pedestrian Accidents on Tuesday October 22, 2013

Accidents involving pedestrians are not as common as accidents between motor vehicles, but they can often be much more severe. Drivers sometimes forget about pedestrians, which can create very dangerous situations for all parties involved. Pedestrians are very vulnerable in these situations, and can many times be left with serious injuries or even loss of life. A woman from Massachusetts was seriously injured recently in a pedestrian accident. The woman was hit by a car around 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 16. She was trying to cross the road near an intersection at the time of the accident. Following the incident, she…
