Georgetown is a small community located in Essex County along what is commonly referred to as Boston’s North Shore.  Most of the people who live in the town also work there or are retired.  A small portion of the residents commute to Boston on a regular basis, and this number is actually increasing as more people are leaving the city as real estate prices become too expensive for the average family and people are more willing to drive or take the commuter rail to work.

motorway-1198014-mWhile the small town doesn’t often make the news in Boston, that was not the case this past weekend when a major car accident occurred that resulted in at least seven being injured, according to a recent news report from the Boston Globe.  Continue reading

The only child of famed actor Paul Walker, who died three years ago in a fiery car accident, reached a $10.1 million settlement with the estate of the man who was driving the Porsche Carrera GT. porsche

However, that should not affect a case the girl still has pending against Porsche, alleging defective design and manufacturing of the sports car.

A representative for the driver’s estate released a statement indicating the driver, Roger Rodas, was partially responsible for the accident. However, that does not change the fact that the vehicle manufacturer bore significant responsibility for what happened, he said.

You may recall the crash occurred while Walker, 40, was on break from filming the seventh installment of the “Fast and the Furious” franchise series. He and Rodas, a 38-year-old husband and father, were at a charity event when they decided to drive away in the Carrera GT. Authorities would later say the vehicle was traveling 90 mph (a fact contested by the families of both Walker and Rodas) when Rodas, an auto shop owner, lost control of the car and it smashed into several trees and a concrete pole. Both men died within seconds as the vehicle burst into flames.  Continue reading

Recently, the Florida Supreme Court issued a sound ruling against an auto insurance company that tried to evade responsibility for denying and dragging on an injury claim for four years. carwithkeys

In Fridman v. Safeco Ins. Co. of Ill., the state high court ruled an insurer that paid the policy limits on the eve of trial – four years after the underlying car accident and two years after the injured man filed a lawsuit for determination of liability – wasn’t immune from responsibility to pay those damages or any stemming from a future bad faith action.

The case reminds our Boston car accident attorneys of one in Massachusetts several years ago. In Chery v. Metropolitan Property and Casualty Insurance Co., the Massachusetts Court of Appeals ruled it was not enough that an insurer who violates insurance law simply pay a claim right before trial. The reason is insured victims suffer damage as a direct result of delayed payment.  Continue reading

Car insurance is required for drivers in Massachusetts. Consumers agree to pay premiums and obey state rules in exchange for prompt coverage of losses associated with car accident claims. caraccident6

Unfortunately, many insurers fail to uphold their end of the deal. They certainly don’t act “like a good neighbor” and they aren’t “on your side” when it comes to your claim.

In fact, the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office has more than once penalized the auto insurance industry in recent years for running afoul of the law. Investigations have revealed widespread overcharging of customers and in some cases, even dropping good drivers despite the state’s “clean-in-three” rule.  Continue reading
