The Risks of Urban Intersections in Massachusetts
Boston’s neighborhoods, including Jamaica Plain, are home to busy intersections where crashes are common due to high traffic volumes, frequent lane changes, and unpredictable driving behavior. Forest Hills St and Morton St serve as key transit routes in the area, with significant vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic.
Intersections pose heightened risks for collisions, particularly when drivers fail to yield, misjudge gaps in traffic, or become distracted. According to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, urban crashes make up a large percentage of injury-related accidents in the state. Factors such as speeding, aggressive driving, and failure to follow traffic signals contribute to many of these incidents.
For those involved in an accident, seeking prompt medical evaluation is essential, even if injuries do not appear severe at first. Documenting the scene, obtaining witness statements, and understanding insurance coverage can also help individuals protect their rights. In cases where negligence is involved, injured parties may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
