Watertown sits between major routes and dense neighborhoods, so serious injuries often happen in predictable ways:
- Intersection collisions involving sudden turn movements, congestion, and changing traffic light timing.
- Commute-related rear-end crashes when drivers are distracted or following too closely in heavy traffic.
- Pedestrian and crosswalk incidents near busier corridors where visibility and stopping distance are critical.
- Motorcycle and bicycle incidents where a fall or sudden impact can cause spinal trauma.
When paralysis occurs, the case typically depends on how the collision or incident sequence is proven—including speed, impact direction, roadway conditions, and witness accounts.
