An Experienced Boston, Worcester and Springfield-area Motor Vehicle Accident Lawyer to Represent You

Injuries suffered as a result of car wrecks can include:

• Whiplash
• Broken bones
• Spinal cord injury
• Brain damage
• Other internal injuries

Driver Injuries

After being in an accident, it is essential for you to get medical care, not only for your health and well-being, but also to strengthen your personal injury claim. When you seek compensation for the trauma and distress that you've suffered in an accident, your case is looked on more favorably if you sought medical treatment right after your accident, if you follow doctor's orders and you keep your medical appointments.

Pedestrian Injuries

Pedestrian deaths are second only to occupant deaths in auto accidents. As a pedestrian, if you are injured, you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries. Be sure you get all the information you can about the accident, including:

• Names and insurance information of the driver involved
• Names and contact information of witnesses

In general, pedestrians have the right of way. However, the driver involved in the accident will likely try to prove that you were not using caution. Be prepared to answer questions about whether or not you used proper crossing locations, followed traffic rules and other safety concerns.

Passenger Injuries

Unless a passenger committed an overt act that distracted the driver, or in any other way contributed to the accident, passengers in an auto accident are considered free of liability for the collision.

As a passenger, you may have a claim against all negligent parties, which can include the driver of the car you were riding in when the accident occurred, as well as the drivers of other vehicles involved. However, if you get into a vehicle knowing that the driver is intoxicated, you may be considered comparatively negligent and this may reduce or eliminate your right to compensation.

Following an accident, collect all important information regarding the accident, and then contact the Law Offices of Mark E. Salomone to handle your claim.
