Pedestrian Accidents in Massachusetts
Pedestrian accidents in Massachusetts, particularly in busy urban areas like Boston, are a growing concern. Intersections such as Cambridge St and Grove St pose risks due to heavy traffic, limited visibility at night, and potential driver inattention. Crashes involving pedestrians often result in severe injuries due to the vulnerability of individuals on foot compared to motor vehicles.
According to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, pedestrian-related crashes account for a significant number of injury collisions each year. Many of these accidents occur at night when visibility is reduced, making it harder for drivers to detect pedestrians in time to avoid a collision.
Victims of pedestrian accidents frequently face long recoveries, extensive medical treatment, and financial hardships due to hospital bills and lost wages. When a crash is caused by negligence, victims may have the right to seek compensation for their injuries and related expenses. Understanding legal options and consulting with professionals can help those affected navigate the recovery process.
