There are many activities in which people engage that they would never think would jeopardize their personal safety. For example, those who step outside for a moment for fresh air probably do not worry about their safety. Unfortunately, the family of one woman in Massachusetts is surely reeling from the news of their loved one's death in a fatal pedestrian accident when she stepped outside a bar for some air.

Teen driver accidents: 3 teens hospitalized after accident

On behalf of posted in car accidents on Sunday May 10, 2015

Teenagers have relatively little experience driving on Massachusetts roadways. As a result, there are many precautions taken in order to help prevent teen driver accidents. For example, state law prohibits junior operators from having other minors in the car with them unless there is an adult over the age of 21 present in the vehicle. Despite this law, police claim that a teenage driver had two other teenagers with him when a fiery crash occurred that sent three people to the hospital. The accident happened at approximately 10:30 p.m. one night in early May. Witnesses claim that the car was…

World World II veteran dies in Massachusetts pedestrian accident

On behalf of posted in Pedestrian Accidents on Monday March 30, 2015

There are many different ways to use Massachusetts roadways. While most people may automatically think of motor vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians also have equal rights to utilize them. Unfortunately, due to the lack of physical protection such users have against cars and trucks, a pedestrian accident can quickly turn tragic. For example, police say that a World War II veteran was recently killed while crossing the road. According to some, the 91-year-old man frequently went for morning walks such as the one he was on the day of the fatal accident in March. Reports indicate that the man was in a crosswalk…

Human beings have certain responsibilities to one another. Beyond not intentionally causing harm to another person, one who injures another is expected to provide aid for that person.

Police appear to be making headway toward finding the driver. The accident happened just after 9 p.m. in mid-March. Police believe that the 16-year-old boy may have been skateboarding at the time he was struck. The young man was transported to the hospital where he…

On behalf of posted in Fatal Motor Vehicle Accidents on Wednesday February 18, 2015

The average person makes hundreds of decisions each and every day. Most of these are seemingly inconsequential -- what to wear or eat -- while others may have unforeseen consequences on both the individual's life as well as the life of others. Such decisions could have led to the recent conviction of one man in Massachusetts because of a fatal car accident last year that resulted in the death of an elderly woman. The accident happened one afternoon in Nov. 2013. An investigation of the accident site reportedly showed that a 19-year-old driver crossed the center line, causing a head-on collision with…
