Boston Auto Accident Lawyer

In Boston, like in any other major city, the vast majority of accidents occur because of dense traffic in a city environment. The stop-and-go rhythm of traffic and the close proximity of drivers to one another—not to mention pedestrians and bicyclists—are the leading causes of Boston area accidents.  If you have been injured in a Boston auto accident, the attorneys at Whitman Law can help.

What to tell your Boston auto accident attorney about your accident

Understandably, addressing your immediate medical needs should be your first priority, but remembering the details can be extremely important for your auto accident lawyer when developing your case.  After an accident, you should identify a few facts that are likely to be important for your auto accident lawyer:

• What was traffic like? Did the accident take place during a time of high traffic volume or was the street mostly empty and clear of other drivers and pedestrians?
• Was the other driver too close to your vehicle? In a large city like Boston, cars often inch closer to each other on major roads than they do on less traveled highways.
• Were there other distractions? Bicycle messengers, pedestrians, joggers, construction, road repairs, and other distractions can all contribute to an accident. Was the other driver using a cell phone or wearing headphones?  Be sure to take notes and share them with your attorney.

A Boston auto accident lawyer can help

Because of the great history of Boston, certain areas of the city are often filled with tourists who have never been to the area and have no understanding of our road system. Often tourists rent cars or drive in for a weekend. Having no idea where their destination is, they stop unexpectedly, or they drive slowly in high-speed areas.

All of these common mistakes can lead to accidents in Boston. When the other driver is not a local—and may even be from another state—the help of an experienced Boston automobile accident lawyer at Whitman Law can be immeasurable.
