Interstate Crashes in Massachusetts
Massachusetts’ major highways, including I-93, are vital commuter and freight corridors but are also frequent sites of serious collisions. In Boston, high traffic density, sudden lane changes, and heavy merging activity can contribute to crash risks, particularly at busy junctions like Columbia Rd. State data indicates that injury crashes on Massachusetts interstates have risen in recent years, with driver inattention and speeding among the most cited contributing factors.
Following a highway crash, victims should seek immediate medical evaluation, even if they feel uninjured initially, as some conditions—such as concussions or soft tissue damage—may not present symptoms right away. Keeping comprehensive records of medical care, accident-related expenses, and any disruptions to work or daily life can be crucial when filing insurance claims or pursuing legal action.
Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence standard, meaning that if an individual is found more than 50% at fault, they may not recover damages. Gathering strong evidence early—such as photographs of the scene, witness statements, and official reports—can play a key role in supporting a claim and ensuring fair treatment during the recovery process.
