Easton Car Accidents

Motor Vehicle Collision Attorneys Representing Residents of the Easton Area

The majority of car accidents could have been avoided and would not have occurred without the negligent actions of one or more parties. While Easton is a small town, it witnesses its share of car accidents. Certain conditions in suburban areas, such as stop and go traffic, create a greater risk of car accidents. Additionally, heavy traffic on the highways that run through Easton, State Routes 106, 123, and 138, increases the potential of an accident occurring. Regardless of whether a road is heavily traveled, however, all drivers have a duty to drive safely and responsibly. If you were injured in a car accident, you should explore whether you should seek compensation for your harm by consulting an experienced Easton car accident lawyer.

Damages Typically Sought in Lawsuits Arising Out of Car Accidents

Car accidents can cause both property damage and bodily injuries. Addressing the harm caused by a car accident can be costly, and individuals harmed in car accidents often seek compensation for any costs incurred due to the accident. These costs typically include the cost to repair any damage to the vehicle involved in the accident. Additionally, if a person involved in the accident suffered injuries, he or she will generally seek to recover the cost of any medical treatment, including the costs of therapy and prescriptions. If the injuries sustained in the accident prevented the injured person from working, either temporarily or permanently, he or she can seek compensation for lost wages and future earnings. Our car accident attorneys can help Easton residents pursue all of the damages that they deserve.

In addition to damages for actual financial harm, individuals injured in car accidents frequently seek compensation for the pain and suffering caused by the accident. Damages for pain and suffering often make up a large portion of the money awarded. If the injured person was married at the time of the accident, his or her spouse may be able to recover compensation for loss of consortium as well. If you were injured in a car accident in Easton, it is essential to speak with an attorney as soon as possible regarding the costs that you may be able to recover, since a delay may result in a waiver of the right to pursue your claim.

Proving Liability for a Massachusetts Car Accident

The majority of lawsuits to recover compensation for a car accident allege that negligent actions or inaction caused the victim’s injuries. To recover on a negligence claim, the plaintiff and their Easton car accident attorney must show that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty. In cases in which the defendant is a driver involved in the accident, the duty owed is typically the duty to drive in a safe and reasonable manner under the conditions present at the time of the accident. The plaintiff must then show that the defendant breached the duty in some way and that the accident happened because of the breach. Lastly, the plaintiff must show actual harm caused by the accident. Each element of a negligence claim must be shown by a preponderance of the evidence. An experienced car accident attorney will gather facts and evidence through discovery to develop a strong argument that the defendant should be held responsible for the plaintiff’s harm.
