Pedestrian Accidents

Throughout the state of Massachusetts, whether in a city or a suburb, pedestrian accidents can happen at any time. Unfortunately, these accidents often result in a death or serious injury. Common reasons for these instances are 1) the driver was not focused on the road; and 2) pedestrians didn’t follow traffic signs/rules.

Your liability depends on the proof you provide, and who is determined to be at fault for the accident. If the driver is ruled to be the cause of the accident, personal injury protection (PIP) may cover some of your medical costs and/or uncollected wages. When the accident is more serious, resulting in severe injury, disfigurement or death, the driver will be responsible for all costs plus any additional damages such as pain and suffering.

When both parties are determined to be at fault, the court will also determine at what percentage of fault goes to the driver. In this case, that percentage also dictates how much of the costs the driver is responsible for.
