Worcester Car Accident Lawyer

Car Accidents in Worcester, MA

Every year, thousands of car accidents take place across the state of Massachusetts — and many of them occur in the city of Worcester.

Since 2020, there have been over 14,000 passenger vehicle crashes in the city of Worcester.

While accidents can range from minor to severe, they may result in physical pain, emotional distress, and costly property damage. Whether or not you’re able to recover compensation for these injuries often depends on what caused the car accident to occur.

Causes of car accidents in Worcester 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.

While the actions of a driver are often to blame for car accidents in Worcester, a small percentage of accidents can also be caused by factors like mechanical failures, wildlife, and poor weather conditions.

In fact, the first snow of 2022 resulted in more than 50 car crashes in a single day throughout the city of Worcester.

How roads and traffic lights are set up may also impact the likelihood of a car accident. Unfortunately, data has shown that car accidents are far more likely to happen in some areas of Worcester than others.

Common Worcester 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).

If you’ve been hurt in a car accident, you may be eligible to receive compensation through a Worcester car crash settlement or verdict.
