Hit by a Car in Boston’s Seaport? What Injured Pedestrians Should Know
If you’re hit by a car while walking in Boston’s Seaport District, don’t assume the driver’s personal insurance is the only place you may be able to recover compensation. I’m Attorney Tracy Paulsen, founder of Rightful Legal, and I represent people seriously injured throughout Massachusetts.
Boston Seaport Pedestrian Accident Risks
The Seaport in Boston is filled with pedestrians moving between offices, restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues while, at the same time, dealing with cars, rideshare vehicles, delivery trucks, bicycles, and construction activity.
A serious pedestrian collision on Seaport Boulevard, Congress Street, Summer Street, Northern Avenue, Boston Wharf Road, or elsewhere in the Seaport can raise much bigger questions than simply who received the traffic citation.
Finding Other Sources of Compensation
The details can help uncover other sources of compensation for you or your loved one’s injuries.
Such questions may include: Was the driver working at the time? Was it an Uber or Lyft driver? Was a delivery vehicle involved? Was the driver operating a company vehicle at the time? Was there additional insurance coverage available beyond the driver’s own policy?
What If the Driver Has Insufficient Insurance?
And what happens if the driver doesn’t have enough insurance to compensate you or your loved one for a serious injury?
These questions can dramatically affect how a Massachusetts pedestrian injury case is investigated and represented and the amount of compensation you may be able to go after.
Evidence That Can Help Your Pedestrian Injury Case
Evidence matters, too. Nearby businesses or buildings may have surveillance video. There may be witnesses, vehicle data, rideshare records, photographs, and electronic evidence that could help establish what occurred.
Some of that evidence may not be available forever, and it actually may be lost very quickly.
Boston Seaport and Fort Point Pedestrian Safety Changes
Boston itself has been making transportation changes in the Seaport and Fort Point area intended to create safer crossings, reduce conflicts at intersections, and better protect pedestrians and cyclists.
What Injured Pedestrians in Boston’s Seaport Should Know
So, if you or a family member was seriously injured while walking in the Boston Seaport District or Fort Point, don’t assume the insurance company will identify every potential source of compensation for you. They surely will not because they are not on your side.
I’m Attorney Tracy Paulsen of Rightful Legal, and we represent injured victims in Boston and throughout Massachusetts. You can reach me directly, not a paralegal or case manager, at 617-821-5856.
Confidential Case Review
I’m happy to have a confidential case review with you at no cost. We’ll investigate who is responsible, what evidence exists, and what insurance coverage or other sources of recovery may be available for your injuries.
