Worcester Auto Accident Lawyers Serve Crash Victims

Personal and professional representation for car accident injuries

Worcester, known as the “Heart of the Commonwealth,” is connected by major arteries like I-290, I-190 and Route 9 to its big-town neighbors: Boston to the east, Springfield to the west, and Providence, Rhode Island to the south. Unfortunately, being at the crossroads of New England also leads to frequent and often serious traffic accidents. If you or a loved one has sustained an injury in a Worcester County motor vehicle crash, you can rely on the local lawyers of Feinberg & Alban PC to help. For more than 70 years, we’ve provided skilled and determined personal injury representation to win the compensation that our clients need and deserve.

Experienced legal representation for all types of vehicle accidents

Our Worcester personal injury lawyers represent motorists, passengers, motorcyclists, bicyclists and pedestrians injured in motor vehicle crashes throughout central Massachusetts. Our experience encompasses:

• Rear-end collisions — Notorious for causing whiplash injuries, these types of crashes frequently occur due to aggressive driving, tailgating and distracted driving.
• Head-on collisions — The deadliest type of crash occurs when vehicles headed in opposite directions collide. The cause is often wrong-way driving due to distraction or intoxication or the drifting of one vehicle into an oncoming lane due to drowsiness or other impairment.
• Side-impact crashes — T-bone collisions, in which the front end of one car hits the sidewall of another, frequently occur at intersections and often involve a missed red light or stop sign or an abrupt illegal turn. Side-swipe crashes can occur between vehicles in adjacent lanes, whether traveling in the same or opposite directions.
• Rollover accidents — It takes a combination of factors, such as speed, the curve and grading of a roadway and the weight distribution of the vehicle, to cause a rollover. Our team thoroughly investigates to accurately establish who may be responsible.
• Multi-vehicle pileups — The most complex types of crashes for establishing causation are chain reaction crashes, which generally occur at in heavy traffic and/or in inclement weather.

Whatever the circumstances of your crash, you can rely on our attorneys to identify at fault drivers and pursue justice.

Legal liability for Massachusetts car crashes

Massachusetts is a no-fault auto insurance state, which means that an injured party’s first recourse is through their own insurance company. However, you can sue a negligent driver if you sustain what the law considers a serious injury. Whether you file a claim with your own insurer or a lawsuit against an at-fault party, you must deal with an insurance company that is determined to pay as little as possible in compensation. To get the full value of your claim, you need experienced representation from an attorney who knows how to counter insurance company tactics. 

Comparative negligence rules in Massachusetts

Massachusetts follows a comparative negligence rule, so as long as you are not mostly responsible for an accident, you can seek compensation from someone who bears the bulk of the blame. However, your compensation is reduced by the percentage of your fault. Our attorneys not only pursue your claim but also defend you against allegations of comparative fault.
