Cambridge Car Accident Lawyer

Cambridge, Massachusetts is widely considered the heart of the Boston area. Youthful and vibrant, it is home to some of the world’s most prestigious educational institutions, including Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Cambridge’s most famous neighborhood is Harvard Square, where street musicians, chess competitions, and public performances sculpt a vivacious atmosphere. The court ofMiddlesex County, of which Cambridge was part, was technically abolished in 1997. Now, the Third District Court bases its operations in Medford, and the Superior Court has transferred to Woburn. Middlesex County remains a geographical and political fixture in the region.
Unfortunately, any thriving city must endure many car accidents each year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently disclosed that, there were 5.5 million vehicle collisions in the United States. These caused over 30,000 wrongful deaths. Car and truck accidents most frequently occur because of the following driving mistakes:
- Driving while intoxicated
- Failing to yield
- “Tailgating,” or driving too closely behind another car
- Swerving to the left
- Calling and texting on a cell phone
- Surpassing the speed limit
- Backing up blindly

Cambridge Motor Vehicle Accident Cases In Court
When you are injured in Cambridge, and your case is not resolved in a claim against the insurance company, we file a lawsuit. Cambridge District Court is now in Medford, and the Middlesex Superior Court is now in Woburn. The more serious injury cases are filed in Superior Court. The first step in any lawsuit is an exchange of “discovery” documents, including written answer to questions called interrogatories. There will also be a “deposition” which is giving testimony to the insurance defense attorney about how the car accident happened and how your injuries have caused you pain and suffering. Most cases will settle after some discovery, after a pretrial conference at the Cambridge District Court or Middlesex Superior Court, or at a mediation. You need aggressive, experienced, and caring representation to fight the insurance companies in Cambridge.
