Its not news to everyone that texting and driving continues to be a problem, both in Massachusetts where a state-wide law that prohibits the act and elsewhere. In a day and age where technology and constant information seem to rule our lives, it is often easy to get distracted by these new gadgets. Every driver has seen someone behind the wheel seemingly more concerned with their phone conversation then with where their car was headed.
Smart phones are an especially hot new commodity that enables a person to text, surf the internet, play a game, and check their email, all from the comfort of the couch, waiting room or driver’s seat. According to the National Transportation Board, when someone is texting while behind the wheel they are actively “taking away information from important visual cues on the road.”
The state of Massachusetts has a texting and driving ban for every driver, and has imposed further restrictions on drivers under the age of 18. These junior operators may not operate a telephone while behind the wheel of a vehicle. Essex County DA Jonathan Blodgett, is urging students to refrain from texting and driving. He has already visited several area high schools to inform students about the dangers of texting and driving, as well as the sanctions that are imposed if you are caught in the act.

In Massachusetts because we have the MBTA there are certain notice requirements that aren’t necessary the same as in regular car accidents. In Massachusetts if you have been struck by an MBTA or you are a passenger on an MBTA bus and you have been injured there are certain statuary notice requirements necessary in order to bring a claim against the MBTA. So in that regard they are different then regular car accidents.

With the summer comes an urge to travel. Whether it is to share the wonderful weather with friends or family, go visit a beautiful area of our country or to simply enjoy exploring new places; hitting the road is a time honored American tradition. Many of us take the bus to get from here to there, letting someone else deal with the driving, stress and traffic that can come with a summer road trip.
Most of the time, these trips are uneventful periods between home and your destination, where you may enjoy the scenery and also meet interesting people. Unfortunately this is not always the case. Bus companies often force their drivers into extended working hours to cut costs, ignore reports of unsafe driving, fail to investigate the background of those they employ, or simply neglect to maintain their vehicles. The passengers’ safety may be an after-thought for the big companies.

We have experience dealing with the complicated cases that can arise out of the negligence of both a company and an employee.

If you are a regular bicyclist in Massachusetts, it is important to know your rights and responsibilities. The Mass Bike website is a great place to begin learning how to stay safe while biking. In addition the City of Boston has a large variety of resources available to help you plan a safe ride around the city, from where to park your bike to the best route.
