Multi-Vehicle Accidents in Boston

Multi-vehicle collisions, such as the five-car crash on I-93, are common in urban Massachusetts areas like Boston, especially during peak commuting hours. These crashes can be particularly

dangerous because the chain reaction of vehicles increases the likelihood of injuries and complicates accident investigations. Distracted driving, tailgating, sudden lane changes, and speeding are frequent causes of these types of accidents.

Injuries from multi-vehicle crashes often include whiplash, broken bones, spinal injuries, and concussions. Whiplash results from rapid back-and-forth movement of the neck during impact and may require weeks of therapy. Broken bones can involve arms, legs, ribs, or facial bones, sometimes necessitating surgery. Spinal injuries, including herniated discs or fractures, can lead to long-term pain and limited mobility. Head injuries and concussions require prompt evaluation, and emotional trauma, such as anxiety or PTSD, is common following serious crashes.

Navigating insurance claims and medical bills after a multi-vehicle collision can be complex. Consulting a Massachusetts car accident lawyer is crucial to protect your legal rights. An experienced lawyer can help gather evidence, communicate with insurance companies, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Acting quickly improves your chances of building a strong case.
