Boston has a unique collision environment:
- Frequent stop-and-go traffic on major corridors can create rear-end and cut-off crashes where braking distance and speed are heavily contested.
- Pedestrian-dense intersections mean injuries may involve crosswalk impacts, sidewalk contact, or secondary collisions that complicate causation.
- Construction and detours (including lane shifts and temporary barriers) can create disputes about lane control, signage, and whether a truck driver followed safe routing.
- Commercial traffic near ports and logistics areas increases the chance that maintenance, cargo handling, and company policies become relevant.
Because of these factors, the “right number” for your claim often depends on how well the evidence supports liability—not just the severity of your injuries.
