Massachusetts is one of the most densely populated states in the U.S., and Boston ranks among the top 10 most densely populated cities. This large population makes traffic accidents more likely.
Since 2020, the commonwealth has continued to see an increase in crashes. In 2023, there were 135,443 total motor vehicle collisions. Of those, 2,421 caused serious injuries, and 324 were fatal.
Boston alone had 5,965 total crashes in 2023. That’s equal to more than 16 every day – one every waking hour. A total of 127 accidents caused serious injury in our city, and 19 resulted in someone’s death.
MassDOT also tracks the most dangerous intersections. In Boston, the junction of Truman Parkway and Dana Avenue is considered the most hazardous.

We handle all types of accident injuries, providing support for people who have experienced:
Your health and age can affect how severe these injuries are, and they may require expensive treatments or rehabilitation. Injuries can also lead to emotional and psychological trauma that can have lasting effects on your life. We’re here to help you understand your options and see what kind of compensation you may be entitled to.
No matter the accident, it’s important to take steps to protect your claim. Start by reporting the incident, then make sure to request a copy of the report because it will contain helpful information for your case.
Seek medical attention and keep detailed records of all expenses related to your treatment, including insurance co-pays and deductibles. Also, keep a journal of your physical and mental recovery progress. Follow your doctor’s orders to avoid compromising your ability to recover damages.
As soon as you safely can, reach out to our team at Sweeney Merrigan. We can guide you through the next steps and take some of the burden off your shoulders. We’ll communicate with insurance companies, manage your paperwork and gather evidence to support your case.
When you share your case with us, we will determine whether you have a valid claim. If someone else’s negligence caused your injury, you may have grounds for legal action. This can include daycare injuries, construction accidents and dog bites, among others.
To have a valid personal injury case, the responsible party must have owed you a ‘reasonable duty of care.’ This means they had a legal obligation to act in a way that would prevent harm to others. If they failed to uphold that duty, leading to your injuries or property loss, you have the right to pursue compensation.
Several factors determine the value of your injury case. As we build your case, we evaluate:
Uncovering the full extent of these factors takes hard work. Our team will handle the investigation and gather all necessary information so you can focus on your recovery with confidence while knowing we are committed to securing fair compensation for your damages.
