Back Injuries in Massachusetts Car Accidents
The accident near the McDonald’s on SW Cutoff highlights how even seemingly minor collisions can result in injuries that may not be immediately apparent. Back injuries are among the most common outcomes of vehicle crashes, and symptoms often develop or worsen in the hours following the incident. These injuries can range from muscle strains and soft tissue damage to herniated discs or spinal trauma, all of which require timely evaluation and treatment.
Commercial corridors like Southwest Cutoff in Worcester see heavy traffic throughout the day, with frequent merging, turning movements, and pedestrian activity. These factors can contribute to a higher risk of accidents, particularly during morning hours when commuter and delivery traffic are at their peak.
