Car Accidents in Massachusetts

Car accidents across Massachusetts continue to pose a real threat to drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike. Thousands of collisions happen each year, leaving many families facing the sudden burden of medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional stress. Even a seemingly minor crash at an intersection can cause injuries that take months or years to heal. Staying mindful of road conditions, traffic signals, and other drivers can help prevent devastating incidents. Understanding common injuries that result from crashes can help families stay informed:

• Whiplash and Neck Injuries: Rear-end or side-impact collisions often cause soft tissue injuries like whiplash. Pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility can affect daily life and may require physical therapy for proper recovery.

• Concussions and Head Injuries: Even with airbags, a strong impact can lead to concussions or other traumatic brain injuries. These injuries might not show immediate symptoms but can have long-lasting effects.

• Back Injuries: Lower back pain and herniated discs are common after car accidents. These injuries can make work and normal routines challenging, sometimes requiring surgery or long-term care.

• Broken Bones: Arms, wrists, legs, and ribs are especially vulnerable in car crashes. Fractures can mean weeks in a cast, surgery, and rehabilitation to restore strength and mobility.
