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.
If you or someone you love has recently been involved in a bus accident, contact the law office of Mazow|McCullough, P.C. today. We have experience dealing with the complicated cases that can arise out of the negligence of both a company and an employee.

The driver of the minivan that struck New England Patriot quarterback Tom Brady’s Audi at a Boston intersection on September 9 has had his driver’s license for 60 days. According to witnesses and to Tom Brady, Ludgero Rodrigues, a 21-yer-old Brockton man, ran a red light and crossed into Brady’s path at the intersection of Gloucester and Commonwealth in the Back Bay. Brady says he attempted to swerve out of the way but did not have enough time. One passenger in the minivan, Rodrigues’ father, sustained serious car accident injuries and was hospitalized. Neither Brady nor Rodrigues were hurt, but a nearby pedestrian was slightly injured when a traffic light that was knocked free in the collision struck her.
Rodrigues lost his license for 180 days last year after a DUI arrest. He has also received citations for failure to use seat belts, failure to use child safety seats, failure to signal, driving an uninspected vehicle, and driving without a license.

On Sunday, December 12, 2010, Cynthia Anne Ray, a thirty-year-old Haverhill woman, was struck and killed by a car driven by an alleged drunk driver. Ms. Ray was walking to the Massachusetts State Police Barracks in Andover to pick up a police report relating to a minor motor vehicle crash involving her relative.
Details of the Car-Pedestrian Incident
According to published reports, Ms. Ray was at the barracks with her mother and was walking in the parking lot towards the police station. A Chevy pickup, driven by fifty-year-old Robert V. Bryant, crashed into Ms. Ray and allegedly left the accident site.
Mr. Bryant was apprehended a short distance from the scene by State Police Troopers. He reportedly failed three field sobriety tests, stumbled as he was getting out of his car, and refused to take a breath test. He told a Trooper “off the record” that he drank beers at a friend’s house and did not even realize he had struck a pedestrian. He was arraigned at Lawrence District Court and held on $50,000.00 cash bail.
This is yet another tragic example of the devastation that driving under the influence of alcohol can cause. While Mr. Bryant is certainly entitled to the presumption of innocence on his criminal matter, there is a strong case of liability against him for his allegedly reckless and negligent act. Additionally, there could be a claim of negligence against the person or establishment that provided him with alcoholic beverages before he got behind the wheel of his car.
We at Mazow|McCullough, PC express our deepest sympathies to the family of Ms. Ray for their devastating loss.
