Car Crashes in Springfield, MA

Every year, thousands of car crashes take place in Springfield, Massachusetts. In fact, Springfield is the 5th most collision-prone city in the United States, according to Allstate's 2025 America's Best Drivers Report^®.

The risk of getting into a car accident in Springfield is over 130% higher than the national average. While some accidents in Springfield are due to factors like poor weather conditions or wildlife, the majority of crashes are caused by human error.

Causes of car accidents in Springfield include:

• Distracted driving: Driving while using a phone, eating, or doing other tasks that take your attention away from the road and result in a car accident.
• Driving under the influence: Using drugs or alcohol impairs a driver’s ability to operate their vehicle in a safe and orderly manner.
• Reckless driving: Failing to signal before changing lanes, running red lights, and driving through intersections without looking puts yourself and other drivers at risk.
• Speeding: Going over the speed limit can increase the likelihood of accidents and serious injuries.

If someone else’s negligence or mistake caused your accident, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries and any property damage from the crash.

Common Springfield Car Wreck Injuries

Injuries from a car crash can be life-altering. Many drivers may require continued care after an accident, like physical therapy and medication.

This is especially true for victims of commercial vehicle accidents, as trucks can weigh thousands of pounds more than a passenger vehicle.

Common car crash injuries include:

• Broken bones
• Burns
• Cuts, bruises, or abrasions
• Injuries from airbags or seat belts
• Loss of hearing or vision
• Paralysis
• Permanent scarring
• Organ damage
• Spinal cord injury
• Sprained muscles or torn ligaments
• Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Whiplash (neck injury)

While physical injuries may result in pain, disfigurement, and limited mobility, victims may also be left with emotional damage like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

On top of these challenges and mounting medical bills, a serious crash can keep you from working, leading to lost wages and reduced income for your family. By filing a Springfield car accident lawsuit, you may be able to seek compensation.

Video Summary: Hear why Matt chose to file a car accident lawsuit with the help of Sokolove Law. View Transcript.

My name is Matt, and I contacted Sokolove Law after getting in a car accident. I'm a big fisherman, I love to hunt, and I'm always exploring stuff in this area. I go to this beach parking lot regularly to check to see if there are any fish biting. It's a drive I take multiple times a day. It's right down the street. I was just driving along, I was minding my own business, driving the speed limit, and all of a sudden someone was just driving into the side of my car and crashing into it. My car was completely totaled. I ended up on somebody's front yard.

Probably a day or two later, I started having some really, really bad back cramps, which is something that I've never in my life experienced. They were really really bad — I actually fell over because my whole back just seized up. It was just a pain I had never felt before. I probably had to go to physical therapy for somewhere between eight and nine weeks. Once I started having to go to physical therapy and once I started to get medical treatment for this, it felt like that shouldn't be something I have to pay for. It wasn’t my fault. It was someone else’s fault. Somebody was irresponsible and crashed into me. That’s when I started thinking about Sokolove Law.

I reached out to the law firm one week after the accident. The reason I did that was I was interested to see how much money would be available for a crash like this. I've never done anything accident-lawsuit-related in my life until now, and I was very surprised at how easy things were. Honestly, it was just so professionally done. That’s how I would describe it. My experience working with the legal team at Sokolove Law was excellent. It was super simple. They were super professional. Everything was laid out very clearly, and there was no confusion about what needed to be done at all. They did a lot of work to get that settlement done, and I’m really happy that I was able to find them, contact them, and get things done.

When the case was settled, I felt very relieved. I felt very happy, actually, because things were done, the check was there, and I didn’t have to deal with any of this anymore. I wish that my car didn’t get totaled, but I ended up getting a new car out of it, and, you know, everything’s going well now. I would recommend other people contact a firm like Sokolove Law after a car accident because injuries from car accidents aren’t always immediately apparent. It could be something that flares up later, like in my case. My back hurt more and more over the following days after the accident. I just feel like not enough people know what their options are when they get into a crash. You don’t have to just call the insurance company. You can talk to an attorney. It doesn’t cost you any money to speak to an attorney at all. It’s completely free to speak to them. I don’t see why you wouldn’t do it if you’re injured in a car accident. It’s a very simple process, and you can get money out of it.

Our Past Car Accident Settlements in Massachusetts

If you are involved in a serious car accident, the insurance company of the person at fault may offer you a financial settlement following the crash. However, the amount offered may not reflect the true value of your claim.

Insurance companies may try to pressure drivers into accepting a settlement quickly, before the full extent of their injuries, medical expenses, and lost wages is understood. Our experienced attorneys can fight back and seek the compensation you need to fully recover.

Some of our past Massachusetts car crash settlements and verdicts include:

• $750,000 to a man who suffered a dislocated shoulder and bruised ribs from a car crash in Springfield
• $965,000 for a Norwood son driving his mother’s car
• $810,000 to a man in Upton whose wife was killed after a vehicle crashed into the ambulance that was transporting her
• $720,000 for a Boston man who suffered a broken leg after being hit by a garbage truck on the wrong side of the street
• $700,000 to a Brockton man in a car accident
• $600,000 for a New Bedford woman who was hit by an 18-wheeler in a crosswalk
• $490,000 to the family of an Arlington man who passed away from an auto accident
• $400,000 for a motorcycle accident victim in Pembroke
• $320,000 to a man injured in a car crash
• $310,000 for a family that suffered injuries after being rear-ended
• $470,000 to a woman who was hit by a car while walking in an Arlington parking lot

In general, the more severe your injury is and the greater its impact is on your daily life, the more compensation you may be entitled to.

While there’s never a guarantee of compensation in any case, our Springfield car accident lawyers will fight hard for everything you deserve.
