Our eighteen-year-old client was driving on an interstate into
the early morning sun. As he drove over a rise in the road,
he struck a car that was disabled and stopped in the middle
of the road because a 150-pound wheel and tire detached from
a tractor-trailer rig traveling in the opposite direction.
The lugs holding the tire had broken off, causing the tire
and wheel to travel across the median strip, and hit and
disable the stopped vehicle.

New federal grants will allow state and local police to add extra traffic patrols, which will help them crack down on people not wearing seat belts. Even though police cannot stop cars just for seat belt violations, they can stop them for other reasons and can issue tickets for individuals who are not buckled up.
Massachusetts is considered the worst in the country when it comes to seat belt usage, as it has the lowest percentage of seat belt use. Three car accidents on July 4th confirmed this problem when seven people died who were not wearing seat belts. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reported that only approximately 67 percent of drivers in Massachusetts will use seat belts.
According to David Procopio, his agency is planning on launching about 470 additional patrols through the state, which was supposed to have started on Thursday, July 23, 2009 and last eight days.
Over 240 local police departments will also add more patrols. Ethan Tavan, a spokesman for the Highway Safety Division in the Executive Office of Public Safety, said that six of these types of campaigns are launched every year, focusing on seat belt use and drunk driving.
Anyone who is 16 and older can be issued a $25 fine for not wearing a seatbelt. The driver can be fined for each passenger 12 to 15 who is not buckled up.

How do I deal with the residual effects of a Massachusetts car accident? At the time of the accident, I did not feel any pain, however, I did later that night. I went to the ER and they gave me pain medication for my neck and back. A few days later the pain worsened. A police report was not filed and now the other driver's insurance company is being hostile because I want to file a claim. What should I do?
I was involved in a car wreck recently in Massachusetts. My son sustained upper back and neck injuries and I suffered a concussion. The insurance adjuster is offering us $750 for pain and suffering. This seems too low, especially since I'm still suffering from headaches. Do I need a personal injury attorney?
What are my legal options if the person who hit and totaled my car did not have insurance? I suffered serious injuries as a result of this Massachusetts car accident.
