d’Oliveira & Associates Releases New Infographic and Video Explaining MA Car Accident Law and Statistics
(PRWEB) October 30, 2013 -- According to the most recent statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in just one year Massachusetts had 337 traffic fatalities. 114 deaths were alcohol-related while 103 deaths were speed-related. It is estimated that these accidents cost $394 million due to medical costs and work loss. The statistics from the NHTSA did show that the number of deaths decreased from the three previous years (i). People who were not at fault and were injured in a serious car accident may be entitled to recover medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
Car crashes can transform a routine trip into a major disruption. According to an October 21, 2013 report from WBZ News, a group of middle school students were delayed when a car crashed into the rear-end of their school bus. There were 22 students aboard the bus when the accident occurred but none were seriously hurt. However, one of the passengers of the car was seriously injured and the jaws of life were used to extract him from the vehicle which had become “wedged under the back of the bus” (ii).
