Leading Causes of Pedestrian Accidents in Massachusetts

Pedestrian accidents can lead to devastating injuries, especially in busy areas of Massachusetts. Both drivers and pedestrians must be aware of the risks to prevent these tragic incidents.

Here are the most common causes of pedestrian accidents:

  • Distracted Driving: Drivers using their phones or engaging in other distractions are a major cause of pedestrian accidents.
  • Speeding: Excessive speed reduces reaction time, increasing the risk of severe pedestrian injuries.
  • Unsafe Road Conditions: Poorly maintained sidewalks and inadequate crosswalks contribute to accidents.
  • Bad Weather: Rain, snow, and fog reduce visibility and vehicle control, increasing pedestrian risks.
  • Failure to Yield: Ignoring traffic signals and pedestrian right-of-way laws leads to dangerous collisions.
  • Drunk or Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drugs impair reaction time and judgment, causing preventable accidents.
  • Pedestrian Negligence: Crossing outside designated areas or walking while distracted increases accident risks.

If you’ve been injured in a pedestrian accident, seek legal help immediately. A Massachusetts Pedestrian Accident Lawyer can guide you through your case and fight for the compensation you deserve.

How to Protect Yourself as a Pedestrian

  • Stay Alert: Avoid distractions such as mobile phones while walking near traffic.
  • Obey Traffic Signals: Follow all road signs and signals to prevent accidents.
  • Increase Visibility: Wear reflective clothing or carry a flashlight at night for better visibility.

Premises liability

PREMISE LIABILITY

$450,000

James was searching for equipment for painting at Home Depot. In the aisle next to him, there was a worker on a lift stocking the highest shelf. The worker pushed boxes so far across the shelf that they fell off the other edge and hit James in the head. The force almost knocked James unconscious. He sat down and the loud bang got the worker off the ladder to see what fell. When they saw James they offered him a bucket and made a report. James did not recall leaving the store or how he got home. He did not recall much except being at home depot and getting hit in the head. Home Depot told him that it was a small box of dust masks that hurt him. We discovered it was actually a large box of emergency kits that fell off the shelf.
