Highway Accidents and Injury Risks in Massachusetts
Highways like I-93 see heavy commuter and commercial traffic, increasing the risk of high-speed collisions. Accidents on major roadways often occur due to factors such as speeding, driver inattention, and lane-changing maneuvers.
Studies indicate that crashes on interstates frequently result in serious injuries, as vehicles travel at higher speeds, leading to more forceful impacts. Rear-end collisions, side-swipes, and multi-vehicle pileups are common on busy highways, particularly during rush-hour traffic.
For individuals injured in highway accidents, seeking immediate medical attention is crucial, as injuries may not always be immediately apparent. Additionally, legal assistance may help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other accident-related damages.
