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.

A new policy has been put into place that bans MBTA drivers from carrying cell phones. The policy got its first test on Monday, May 18, 2009, when a passenger on the T’s No. 1 bus on Massachusetts Avenue called the customer service center to report that the driver was using a cell phone. In less than 45 minutes the complaint was investigated when the T had a supervisor intercept the bus. It was determined that the T driver did not have a cell phone and had been talking on the dispatcher on an MBTA radio.
Even though it was a false alarm, it did show that the system worked. The tough policy was put into effect following a May 8 accident that injured approximately 50 passengers. The 24-year-old T driver, Aiden Carter Quinn, was fired after the T blamed him for causing the accident by text messaging.
The cell phone ban is being fought by the Carmen’s Union. However, the Department of Public Utilities, which oversees T safety, banned T drivers from using cell phones and other personal electronic devices while on duty.
Massachusetts Senator Michael Morrissey, (D-Quincy), is pushing for a $500 fine for bus, trolley, boat and other public vehicle operators who use cell phones while on duty.

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.
