All across Massachusetts, there are bound to be several car crashes observed. With so many urban cities, downtown areas, and universities, it’s no wonder that there were over 120,000 reported crashes in 2022 alone. Of these, 416 fatalities were involved. In 2017, the top three counties with the most car crashes were Middlesex, Norfolk, and Suffolk. These accidents are no surprise considering that all three counties have at least over 700,000 residents. These accidents are expensive. Of all car crashes reported in 2017, the ones resulting in fatalities involved over $14,480,000 in costs, even though they only accounted for 0.2% of all car crashes in Massachusetts that year. A fatality entails heavy vehicle expenses and countless medical bills that could reach millions, depending on how severe the accident was. As common as they may be in these counties, car accidents occur throughout MA much too often, even in rural parts. Contacting an attorney before moving on to the next steps after an accident is one of the most important things an injured victim can do.
