Frequent Types Of Injuries and Accidents

Brockton Car Crashes. Brockton has two of the most dangerous intersections in Massachusetts, according to a 2016 analysis reported in The Brockton Enterprise. The state’s very worst intersection sits at West and Pleasant streets in northwest Brockton. Over 3 years, there were 102 car crashes, with injuries reported in nearly half of the collisions. The corner of Ash and Elm Street in Brockton is the state’s 13th worst intersection. The corner saw 93 car accidents, causing 23 injuries, over 3 years.

Brockton Pedestrian Accidents. The city, police and local schools have worked to raise awareness about pedestrian accidents in Brockton since 2014, when the city lost 9 pedestrians to car accidents. Despite these efforts, pedestrian crashes rose again in 2017. On February 26, Brockton saw a double tragedy, with a 64-year-old pedestrian and a 48-year-old killed in separate accidents within seven hours of each other, according to The Brockton Enterprise. The pedestrian accidents occurred on Main Street and Centre Street, just two miles apart. On July 12, Brockton police responded to two pedestrian accidents which injured children within just 30 minutes. The accidents occurred in the parking lot of Vicente’s Supermarket on Pleasant Street and on Centre Street.

The City of Brockton wants to stop these accidents and has been recognized for its work to do so. In 2017, the Angelo Elementary School received a “Gold” Award for its pedestrian safety programming from the Massachusetts Safe Routes to School, a program which works with schools across the state to help children walk and ride their bikes to school safely. Breakstone, White & Gluck partners with Massachusetts Safe Routes to School through our Project KidSafe campaign, donating bicycle helmets to children who participate in the programming and need one.

Brockton Bicycle Accidents. Bicycle accidents are a growing concern in Brockton. In 2016, a 14-year-old Brockton boy was hit and killed by an SUV on Main Street.

Brockton Landlord Negligence and Premises Liability Cases. The cost of housing is high in Massachusetts and tenants often live at the mercy of landlords. When landlords do not properly maintain a rental property, a tenant can be put at risk. Fires, porch collapses, pipe bursts and bug infestations are all examples of where landlord negligence can lead. Another common injury are slip and falls in snow and ice. If you have been injured as a result of your landlord’s negligence, it is important to speak to a personal injury lawyer who serves the Brockton community.

Brockton Dog Bites and Attacks. Our Brockton dog bite lawyers provide experienced representation in Massachusetts dog bite cases.

Dog bites and attacks are traumatic and emotional, especially when young children are injured. Injuries often occur when dog owners neglect to secure their animals. In August 2017, there was a serious attack on Harlan Terrace in Brockton. Two pitbulls escaped and attacked a woman who lived nearby. She required 11 stitches, several bite marks and arm surgery. The City of Brockton ordered euthanization for the two dogs.

Massachusetts holds dog owners or keepers strictly liable for any injuries caused by the animal. You must be able to prove that the person was the owner or keeper of the dog. But Massachusetts has a one-bite rule; the victim does not have to prove the dog had a history of attacks. Dog bite claims are typically covered by the owner or keeper's homeowner's insurance policy in Massachusetts. Contact our dog bite lawyers to learn your rights for seeking compensation for your injuries and medical care.

Brockton Medical Malpractice. Our lawyers have represented clients in medical malpractice cases across Massachusetts, including at the state’s leading hospitals, and helped them obtain the compensation they deserve for their injuries.

Medical errors can have fatal consequences. They can happen during surgery or during a simple office visit when a doctor or nurse fails to clean equipment. Brockton is served by three hospitals: Caritas Good Samaritan Hospital, Brockton Hospital and the Brockton Veterans Administration Hospital (also known as the Brockton VA Hospital). Many residents also seek medical treatment at Boston hospitals.
