If you’re involved in an incident, as a pedestrian, where you’re struck by a bicycle, there are many different factors that could impact that incident as well as different parties that you may be unaware of that could impact that incident. If you were struck by a bicycle, the specifics of that case need to be determined. Were you in a crosswalk? Were you crossing the street with traffic? And often times when somebody’s driving a bicycle and they strike you, there may not be insurance coverage there. There may be insurance coverage there that you have to find out, that you have to determine, such as home owners insurance. Maybe that bicyclist was working at the time of the incident, was in a rush to make a delivery, it’s important to gather the information about the bicyclist’s employer to present that information going forward.

If you’ve suffered injury because of a dog bite incident, it’s important to find out the owner or the keeper of the dog. And it is that person or persons that is responsible for your injuries. Oftentimes the claim can be resolved with the home owners insurance company for the owner or keeper of the dog. There may be rental coverage that would provide coverage for the owner or keeper of the dog. Ultimately if there’s no insurance coverage there, you do cause of action against the owner or keeper of the dog, and it’s gonna depend upon what types of money is available to them to compensate you for your injuries.

In a Boston bus accident it’s treated like any other motor vehicle accident in Massachusetts. If a bus driver was inattentive and caused an accident, they are responsible for the injuries of the people that are onboard. If the bus driver was struck by another inattentive driver than the other inattentive driver is at fault for the injuries that result for the people on board. It’s just handled like any other claim. However, you need to deal with the MBTA and there are certain notice requirements that are necessary when making a claim against the MBTA.

With the summer in full swing, more and more people find themselves trying to find a way to visit a pool. Sometimes this pool is the local municipalities, in which case there is a lifeguard on duty to help monitor and protect those who visit it; just as often it may be at a friend’s house, or a friend of a friend who has opened up their home to people seeking to get out of the heat.
There is an unfortunate reality about backyard swimming pools however. The Consumer Product Safety Commission 2010 Pool and Spa Submersion Report found that the overwhelming majority of Emergency Department visits treating submersion injuries and reported fatalities were associated with pools. For victims under five years of age, residential locations were the predominant location of the incident. Drowning is the second leading cause of death for children under 14.
With recentnews of several young children drowning it is more important than ever that parents, caregivers, and pool owners remain vigilant when children are anywhere near the pool. This website has a variety of valuable resources to educate both adults and children about pool safety.
If you have been, or know someone who has been injured or suffered a wrongful death because of a drowning incident, please contact the law offices of Mazow and McCullough in Salem, Massachusetts. We will help you understand your rights.
Robert Mazow, who specializes in drowning lawsuits, was recently quoted in the Boston Herald in response to the drowning of 36 year old Marie Joseph. Ms. Joseph drowned in a public swimming pool in Fall River, Massachusetts, where there were allegedly 6 lifeguards on duty. Supposedly a young boy saw her go under the water and notified two lifeguards. One of the lifeguards allegedly said that he was on his break and the other lifeguard said that he would check the pool. Ms. Joseph’s body was found two days later. State Department of Conservation and Recreation Commissioner Edward M. Lambert Jr., whose agency runs the pool where the body of 36-year-old Marie Joseph was discovered by two trespassers Tuesday night, could not say whether any lifeguards ever looked for her.
Attorney Mazow was contacted by a reporter from the Boston Herald to provide some insight into what potential liability employees of the State run pool might have:
“Personal injury attorney Robert Mazow, who specializes in drowning lawsuits, said even if the pool staff is found to be negligent, the state could not be penalized heavily by a jury if Joseph’s relatives sue.
“Even in the most egregious acts, such as this one, if you can prove that a lifeguard completely was derelict in their duties… the family is likely limited to the $100,000 (state) cap,” the Salem lawyer said.
Even if this turns out to be a case of negligence, the unfortunate truth is that the lifeguards and those responsible for the maintenance of the pool might only be responsible for up to $100,000 of compensation for Marie Joseph’s wrongful death.

In Massachusetts, if you are a bicyclist and you are struck by a motor vehicle, the process that needs to be taken from that point varies. What I mean is, it’s not a typical rear end collision involving two cars. If you are a bicyclist and you are struck by a motor vehicle there is different coverage that is available to you. Somebody may be surprised to learn that the medical bills of a person operating the bicycle will be paid by the car insurance of the person that struck them. There are a lot of factors that could impact the presentment of the bicycle injury claim. and those things vary from a motor vehicle collision or a bus collision.
