There are a lot of reasons so many people come to Boston each year while on vacation.  One of the reasons is to see the many historical sights, which date back to the days when New England was a colony.  When you walk around much of downtown Boston, you will notice a line of red bricks on the sidewalk.  This is the path of what is known as the Freedom Trail.  The name refers to the efforts of the colonist during the early days of the American Revolutionary War.

highway1Driver immediately realized his trailer had unhooked and drove off the road and made a U-turn so he would be facing the detached trailer.  His hope was that his headlights would light up the trailer so other cars on the road would see the trailer and avoid hitting it.   However, before he could make the U-turn, another car hit the trailer, which had no lights on it as it was no longer connected to a power source, and the driver of that vehicle died as a result of his injuries suffered in the car accident.

In Australia, just as in the U.S., there is a serious problem with drunk driving.  “Down Under,” they have a governmental agency called TAC that polices the highways and also provides medical attention to car accident victims.

The Pokemon Go craze that swept the country resulted in all sorts of bizarre stories about video gamers trolling lawns late at night trying to “catch” the cartoon creatures. But there was on recent report that piqued the interest of our Boston car accident lawyers: That of a 26-year-old man who caused a major accident in Massachusetts after stopping in the middle of the highway to nab a Pikachu. iphone

As it turns out, the story is 100 percent false. Although it gained some traction on social media, it was published on a phony news site.

However, that doesn’t mean the potential for an incident isn’t there. Reports have been made concerning motorists who are hunting down the characters while behind the wheel. What does this mean in terms of liability? Continue reading

Auto insurance rates are expected to rise by nearly 10 percent in the next few months, growing by the fastest rate in more than half a decade. carcrash51

According to The Boston Globe, insurance companies pin responsibility on falling gas prices and a steadily climbing economy. In turn, officials say, there has been an uptick in Boston car accidents and collisions overall throughout Massachusetts. There was also a record snowfall last year, which also contributed to a large number of accidents.

Of course, the risk with higher auto insurance rates is that not as many people will be able to afford it. Some may opt for bare bones coverage, while others may drop their coverage altogether. This is a bad situation for those injured in car accidents because it limits their legal options for compensation. Continue reading

Jurors in Georgia delivered an $11 million verdict in a car accident lawsuit against Papa John’s to a woman who suffered traumatic brain injuries in a head-on collision with a pizza delivery driver. driver1

According to Courtroom View Network, the eight-figure verdict interestingly did not include damages for future lost wages or future medical expenses. However, compelling expert witness testimony underscored the severity of 51-year-old plaintiff’s injuries, which includes severe memory loss, anxiety, depression, confusion and other long-term ailments. A renowned neurologist who also serves as a professor at Emory University offered key damages testimony, specifically regarding the extent of plaintiffs injuries. She testified that over the course of 25 visits, plaintiff had undergone extensive testing. The doctor asserted that in her two decades of medical practice, she had never seen such a severe mild traumatic brain injury.

The term “mild” might connote that the injury wasn’t dramatic in nature. But the evidence – including the expert witness testimony – proved otherwise.  Continue reading
