Georgetown is a small community located in Essex County along what is commonly referred to as Boston’s North Shore.  Most of the people who live in the town also work there or are retired.  A small portion of the residents commute to Boston on a regular basis, and this number is actually increasing as more people are leaving the city as real estate prices become too expensive for the average family and people are more willing to drive or take the commuter rail to work.

It is hard to imagine anything scarier than being trapped in a car following a serious car accident.  Unfortunately, this was the case for one family, according to a recent news feature from the Boston Globe.

According to a recent report from Breibart News, a three-car accident in Texas was caused by rather unusual circumstances.

The driver of one vehicle reportedly crashed into a truck in an intersection.  That’s not the unusual part. When first questioned, the alleged at-fault driver said he was picking up “lady friend” when a gunman ran into his car and got in the backseat.  He said he was in grave fear of being shot and crashed into a stopped truck at an intersection ahead.

mlCAWKuHowever, witnesses to the accident tell a very different story.  Witnesses say the man was having sex with a woman in the car just before the crash.  He then ran into a stopped pickup truck, ran out of the car, and began rolling on the ground.  He was allegedly yelling that he was innocent and also was yelling “justice” and “I didn’t do it.” Continue reading

Things have not been going so well for former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel.  As many know, the talented yet troubled athlete has reportedly struggled with staying sober, and that led to his former team leaders making the decision to part ways after a tumultuous two-year contract recently came to an end following the close of this season.  He has been replaced by former Redskins’ quarterback Robert Griffin III, who has also had his own series of controversies during his four years in Washington, DC.

porscheAccording to a recent news feature from Hollywood Life, Manziel was recently involved in what appears to be a very serious car accident and many are saying that he is lucky to be alive.  Authorities say the 21-year-old NFL player was riding as a passenger in a car being driven by his friend on April 9, 2016, when the car crashed head-on into a utility pole.  Continue reading

The only child of famed actor Paul Walker, who died three years ago in a fiery car accident, reached a $10.1 million settlement with the estate of the man who was driving the Porsche Carrera GT. porsche

However, that should not affect a case the girl still has pending against Porsche, alleging defective design and manufacturing of the sports car.

A representative for the driver’s estate released a statement indicating the driver, Roger Rodas, was partially responsible for the accident. However, that does not change the fact that the vehicle manufacturer bore significant responsibility for what happened, he said.

You may recall the crash occurred while Walker, 40, was on break from filming the seventh installment of the “Fast and the Furious” franchise series. He and Rodas, a 38-year-old husband and father, were at a charity event when they decided to drive away in the Carrera GT. Authorities would later say the vehicle was traveling 90 mph (a fact contested by the families of both Walker and Rodas) when Rodas, an auto shop owner, lost control of the car and it smashed into several trees and a concrete pole. Both men died within seconds as the vehicle burst into flames.  Continue reading

Boston is the worst.crosswalk1

That is, if you’re driving. Or on a bicycle. Or walking somewhere.

As Boston car accident attorneys, we could have told you that based on our decades of experience. But we’re not the only ones who know. In 2015, Allstate ranked 200 major U.S. cities for the best and worst drivers in the country. Boston ranked dead last. 200th. Perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise either that Worcester, MA ranked 199th, Springfield ranked 196th.

So given what we know about the poor driving habits in Boston and beyond, what can we do about it? Continue reading
