Boston police arrived at the scene shortly after the accident, where they found the woman, believed to be in her 80s, suffering from severe injuries. Despite efforts to provide medical assistance, the woman was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. The loss of a loved one under such circumstances is devastating, and our hearts go out to the victim’s family during this difficult time.

The circumstances surrounding the incident are still under review, and the police are working diligently to gather all the necessary details.
Compensation at Stake for Victims
When a tragic accident like this occurs, the victims and their families often face immense emotional, physical, and financial hardship. In cases where the accident results in death, surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for the loss of their loved one. This type of compensation is typically sought through a wrongful death claim, which allows families to seek justice and financial support for their grief and losses.
There are several types of compensation at stake in wrongful death cases, including funeral expenses, medical bills, and the loss of income or financial support that the deceased may have provided. In addition to these immediate costs, families may also seek compensation for the pain and suffering caused by the loss of a loved one, as well as for emotional distress and the impact on the family’s quality of life.
