In large part, due to cell phone technology, distracted driving has become more common. Texting, dialing phone numbers on cell phones, and talking on cell phones tend to draw a driver’s attention away from the roadway. Reaching for objects within a car while driving can have a similar effect.
My office has been representing an increasing number of clients including pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists who have suffered injuries due to the carelessness of distracted drivers.

Public Transportation Passengers
My office has had success representing passengers who use public transportation such as the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Rail, and the MBTA. One particular client was waiting on an icy platform for a commuter rail train during a cold, snowy January morning. Due to the inclement weather, the commuter rail system experienced lengthy delays while passengers waited on the snowy, icy platform. When the train finally arrived, there were five (5) cars, but only the front car had room for passengers. Those passengers waiting on the platform had to hurry through the snow and ice for the limited space available on the one and only car that was allowing passengers to board. Our client slipped and fell on the snow and ice as he attempted to board. He sustained serious bodily injuries as a result of his fall. The platform had not been salted or sanded for safety. Consequently, our office made a claim for damages against the Massachusetts Bay Commuter Rail which was successful. The Massachusetts Bay Commuter Rail was at fault and paid our client’s medical bills and lost wages. The Massachusetts Bay Commuter Rail also made a substantial payment to our client to compensate him for his pain and suffering during the period of time he was totally disabled, and for his lost wages.

Slip, Trip, and Fall at a Grocery Store
Recently, a 56 year old woman was walking toward the exit of a grocery store when she saw a sign directing her to an area where a store employee was in the process of cleaning the floor. The woman slipped and fell, landing first on her right knee before tumbling backward. She was rushed to a nearby hospital by ambulance where surgery was performed for a fractured kneecap.
The injured woman prevailed against the grocery store in Court. The Court found that the grocery store neglected to keep the store in a safe condition for customers, and that the woman’s injuries were the direct result of their neglect.

Products Liability
Last fall, a client came into my office carrying a glass bottle of beer with a jagged opening on the top. The client had opened the bottle of beer and began sipping directly from the beer bottle. Immediately, he received a cut on his upper lip, and he ingested shards of glass. I advised him to see a gastroenterologist who then discovered, through diagnostic studies, rectal bleeding caused by the ingested shards of glass that came from the bottle. I initiated a claim for “damages” and negotiated a substantial monetary settlement for the client.
