Worcester Car Accidents

Our Worcester personal injury attorneys are known for our expertise representing clients injured in car accidents and pedestrian accidents, growing concerns in the city of Worcester. In 2019, the America's Best Drivers Report ranked Worcester drivers among the 10 worst of 200 regions in the U.S.

As the largest city in Central Massachusetts, Worcester has more than 185,000 residents, including more than 35,000 college students. Traffic congestion is heavy in the region, especially near the major I-290 and I-190 intersection.

The state had long identified Kelley Square as one of the top spots for motor vehicle crashes in Massachusetts, before starting the Kelley Square Improvement Project in October 2019.

In July 2017, the Telegram & Gazette reported Worcester was the most dangerous city in Massachusetts for pedestrians. Two highly dangerous spots are along Main Street in downtown and outside UMass Memorial Medical Center.

Our Law Firm's Experience and Results For Clients After Car Accidents

At Breakstone, White & Gluck, our attorneys have the experience, expertise and resources to help clients with all types of auto claims, including those involving large trucks and rideshare vehicles. We start by reviewing the facts of your case with you. We are here to answer your questions and advise you on whether you may have the right to seek financial compensation.

In Massachusetts, drivers have a duty to use reasonable care when driving. This includes following traffic laws and operating at the speed limit or a reasonable speed for the traffic conditions. Drivers also have a responsibility not to engage in distracted driving or use a hand-held cell phone. In April 2020, the new Massachusetts hands-free driving law took full effect. Drivers who pick up a cell phone to call or text are violating the law and can be cited.

When a driver fails to use reasonable care and you are injured as a result, you may be entitled to pursue financial damages. You may be able to pursue personal injury protection benefits (PIP) from the driver's auto insurance policy. You may also be entitled to seek damages for medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering.

We invite you to read about our car accident case results, including our $7.1 million and $3.75 million awards for clients.

Worcester Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

Experience is critical when you hire a lawyer after a serious pedestrian car crash. Many pedestrian accidents result in wrongful death and it may be a loved one, not the victim, who reaches out for legal representation.

After a pedestrian accident, it may be unclear what happened. The victim may not survive; other witnesses may come forward. We understand that not knowing can prolong a family's pain and make it difficult to find closure.

At Breakstone, White & Gluck, our attorneys have represented victims and families after serious injuries at intersections, crosswalk accidents and bus crashes. We have also represented pedestrians who have been hit in parking lot crashes and held both drivers and commercial property owners liable for failing to keep safe premises.

Worcester Bicycle Accident Lawyers

Cyclists are vulnerable in high-congestion areas such as Worcester. In addition to motor vehicle traffic, there is a high volume of trucks traveling to the downtown district, hospitals and colleges. The city also has more than 50 public schools. Drivers have responsibilities when operating near cyclists, including to stay out of bike lanes and to turn safely at intersections.

If you have been injured in a bicycle accident, it is crucial that you consult a Worcester bicycle accident lawyer to learn your legal rights. Our attorneys can advise you on whether you may have the right to file a claim against the driver's auto insurance policy or their employer's insurance policy. We can also help you evaluate your options when drivers are uninsured or underinsured.

Worcester Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

When a motorcyclist is injured, Breakstone, White & Gluck offers experience in Massachusetts auto insurance laws and accident reconstruction. Our Worcester motorcycle accident lawyers have negotiated major awards for our clients, including awards for $3.75 million and $3.5 million.
