Who Is At Fault for Your Boston Car Accident? 

To recover compensation for injuries and other damages after a Boston car accident, you must generally show that you were no more than 50% at fault for the crash under Massachusetts’ “modified comparative negligence” rule. This means you may still recover damages if the other driver was equally or more responsible for the accident. Fault is typically based on negligence, which refers to a failure to exercise reasonable care such as texting while driving or other reckless behavior, but it can also stem from unintentional causes like defective vehicles or unsafe road conditions.
 

Some of the most common causes of car accidents include: 

  • Distracted driving, including texting while driving 
  • Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Reckless driving, including speeding and street racing 
  • Engaging in road rage behaviors 
  • Following too closely (“tailgating”)
  • Inexperienced drivers 
  • Fatigued driving and/or falling asleep at the wheel
  • Failing to stop at red lights or stop signs 
  • Failing to yield the right-of-way
  • Poor vehicle maintenance
  • Poor road maintenance
  • Poor road design or construction

What To Do After a Car Accident in Boston

  • Prioritize your safety and seek immediate medical attention after a crash on roads like the Mass Pike, I-93, or Route 1.
  • If possible, document the scene by taking photos of the vehicles, roadway, and any visible injuries.
  • Collect contact information from witnesses and record the names of responding officers from the Boston Police Department, Massachusetts State Police, or local agencies.
  • Get evaluated at a hospital or urgent care in the Boston area, even if you feel fine, to create a medical record linking injuries to the crash.
  • In the days after the accident, keep copies of all related documents, including medical bills, prescription receipts, and insurance paperwork.
  • Avoid discussing fault with the other driver’s insurance company before speaking with a Boston car accident lawyer for guidance.
  • Understand your potential benefits under personal injury protection coverage and possible claims against the at-fault driver with legal help.
