Massachusetts Personal Injury and Negligence Lawyers Obtaining Compensation for Our Injured Clients

At Neumann Group, we represent injured Bostonians in a variety of claims, and we pride ourselves on our representation of car accident victims in our communities served. Many Boston roads have gained notoriety for being particularly challenging due to heavy traffic, complex intersections, and accident-prone areas. While designating the “most dangerous” roads can vary based on factors like the number of accidents, traffic density, and specific conditions at different times, several roads are often considered more challenging to navigate:

• Massachusetts Avenue (Mass Ave): Known for heavy traffic and intersections, it can be accident-prone, especially during peak hours.
• Storrow Drive: Its narrow lanes and low overpasses can result in frequent accidents, particularly with taller vehicles that miscalculate the clearance.
• Commonwealth Avenue: With heavy pedestrian traffic due to the numerous universities along its stretch, this road can be prone to accidents involving pedestrians and vehicles.
• Morrissey Boulevard: Connecting South Boston and Dorchester, this road can experience congestion and accidents, often due to complex intersections.
• The McGrath Highway: It’s known for its challenging intersections, especially where it intersects with other major roads.

While these roads are often associated with accidents or congestion, it’s important to note that various factors can contribute to the perception of danger, including weather conditions, time of day, and ongoing construction or maintenance work. Safe driving practices and attentiveness are crucial for navigating these roads and minimizing the risk of accidents.

If you have been in an accident, Neumann Group could support your car accident claim by evaluating your settlement value, negotiating with insurers for what you rightfully deserve, and advocating for your entitled recovery. At the Neumann Law Group, our lawyers review medical expenses, lost income, pain, and other losses to estimate your claim’s worth. If you’ve suffered a severe car accident, your insurance company might offer what seems like a substantial settlement, but it might not cover all your entitled compensation, like future medical costs or lost wages if you’re unable to work. Our attorneys analyze your costs, estimate your claim’s value, collect supporting evidence, and work with insurers to ensure you receive the rightful settlement within the law.

Massachusetts Premises Liability Attorney

Boston winters are notoriously rough, with blizzards and ice storms holding the city hostage for days or weeks each most winters. Massachusetts business owners have a legal responsibility to ensure the safety of their premises, including walkways and entry points, particularly during icy conditions. To prevent slippery walkways, these business owners are typically obligated to take certain measures:

• Snow and Ice Removal: Promptly clear snow and ice from sidewalks, entryways, and parking areas, usually within a specified time after the snowfall stops, as mandated by local ordinances.
• Salting or Sanding: Apply salt, sand, or other ice-melting agents to reduce slipperiness on walkways and steps to prevent accidents.
• Regular Maintenance: Maintain a proactive approach to prevent ice buildup by routinely monitoring and addressing potentially hazardous conditions.
• Warning Signs: Display warning signs or cones to alert pedestrians to slippery areas that haven’t been cleared or pose a risk due to icy conditions.
• Continuous Monitoring: Regularly inspect the property for ice formation or snow accumulation, especially in high-traffic areas, to swiftly address any potential hazards.
• Reasonable Care: Exercise reasonable care to prevent foreseeable harm to visitors or customers due to icy conditions on the premises.

Failure to fulfill these responsibilities may lead to legal liabilities if someone sustains an injury due to slipping on icy walkways. Business owners might be held accountable for neglecting their duty to maintain safe premises and take necessary precautions to prevent accidents caused by slippery conditions.
