Highway-Related Crashes in Massachusetts
Accidents near highway intersections, such as Columbia Road and I-93, are common due to high-speed traffic, frequent merging, and sudden lane changes. Congestion in urban areas can also contribute to collisions, especially when drivers fail to adjust to stop-and-go traffic patterns or become distracted behind the wheel.
Injuries resulting from highway crashes can range from minor bruises to more severe trauma, requiring extensive medical care. Victims often face unexpected medical expenses, lost wages, and difficulties returning to their daily routines. Seeking immediate medical attention is crucial, even if injuries seem minor at first, as some symptoms may appear hours or days later.
Officials remind drivers to remain alert, avoid distractions, and adjust speed according to traffic conditions to help prevent collisions. If negligence plays a role in a crash, injured victims may have legal options to pursue compensation for medical bills and damages.
