Passenger Rights After an Uber or Lyft Crash in Boston: Medical Bills, Lost Wages, and What Insurance Should Pay

Getting into a crash as an Uber or Lyft passenger can feel uniquely frustrating because you did everything right. You buckled up, you were not driving, and you trusted a professional service to get you safely through Boston traffic. Then the unexpected happens: you are injured, your phone is full of alerts, and bills start arriving before you even know which insurance company is supposed to pay.

If you are hurt in a rideshare crash, you may have multiple layers of coverage available, including Massachusetts no-fault benefits and rideshare insurance that can be much larger than a typical personal policy. The key is knowing how the system works and how to protect your claim while you focus on healing, and when it makes sense to speak with a personal injury lawyer who handles Uber and Lyft accident cases.

Rideshare Crashes Are Still Car Crashes, But Insurance Can Be More Complicated

Holiday Travel Surge: Logan, I-93, and Mass Pike Crash Patterns

by Jeffrey S. Glassman

December Congestion And Winter Conditions

December in Boston is beautiful, but for many families, it is also the most chaotic month for driving. Holiday visitors stream through Logan, rental cars fill the tunnels, and early sunsets turn evening commutes into hours spent in low-light, low-friction conditions. If you were injured near the airport or on the interstates that feed it, especially the complex stretches of I-93 and the Mass Pike, understanding how these car accidents happen and how to prove what really occurred is the foundation of a strong claim.

Traffic patterns around Logan create a perfect storm: unfamiliar drivers follow GPS prompts and make last-second lane changes; rideshare vehicles stop abruptly for pickups; and winter weather magnifies every mistake. Inside the airport loops and tunnels, visibility changes in an instant as you pass from bright terminal lighting to dim stretches with glare from reflective surfaces. On I-93 and at the I-93/I-90 interchange, merging vehicles frequently misjudge gaps, and a single brake tap can ripple through tightly packed cars.

Know Right Of Way Laws in Boston, MA

by Jeffrey S. Glassman

Understanding right-of-way laws is crucial for all drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists in Massachusetts. These laws help manage the flow of traffic and ensure safety on the roads. As a personal injury attorney at Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers, I’ve seen numerous cases where ignorance or disregard of these laws has led to accidents and injuries. In this blog post, I’ll provide a comprehensive guide to understanding right-of-way laws in Massachusetts, helping you navigate the roads more safely and responsibly.

Intersections Without Traffic Signals

At intersections without traffic signals or where the signals are not functioning, the vehicle arriving first has the right of way. If two vehicles arrive simultaneously, the vehicle on the right should be given the right of way. This rule also applies to four-way stops, where drivers must come to a complete stop and may proceed in the order they arrive.

Essential Steps to Take After a Winter Weather Accident

by Jeffrey S. Glassman

Winter weather often ushers in a range of hazards that extend beyond the beauty of a snow-covered scene. This seasonal shift particularly impacts road safety, as drivers find themselves navigating through treacherous conditions. Icy roads reduce visibility from falling snow or fog, and the unpredictability of other drivers under these circumstances significantly elevates the risks of vehicular accidents. These conditions demand heightened caution and preparedness from everyone on the road, as the margin for error is notably reduced in winter weather.

In the unfortunate event that you find yourself involved in a winter weather accident, the situation can be overwhelming and disorienting. The slick and icy roads, often coupled with poor visibility, contribute to accidents that range from minor fender-benders to more serious collisions. Such incidents not only pose immediate physical dangers but also create complex scenarios from a legal perspective. Knowing the critical steps to take immediately after being involved in a winter weather accident is essential.

If you or someone you know has been involved in a winter weather accident, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional legal guidance. At Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers, we are committed to providing you with the support and expertise needed to navigate these challenging times.

Choosing Rideshare Over Drinking and Driving This Holiday Season

by Jeffrey S. Glassman

The holiday season is a time of joy, celebration, and social gatherings. However, during the festive cheer, there lies a hidden danger that often gets overlooked — the increased risk of drunk driving incidents. The combination of holiday parties, end-of-year celebrations, and the general spirit of merriment means that alcohol often plays a significant role in these gatherings. Unfortunately, this leads to a rise in the number of individuals who unwisely choose to get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol. As a responsible law firm dedicated to promoting safety and awareness, Jeffrey Glassman Injury Lawyers is deeply concerned about this issue and strongly advocates for the use of safer transportation alternatives, such as ridesharing services, during these festive times.

There are alarming statistics that highlight the severity of this issue during the holiday season. Understanding these figures is not just about comprehending numbers; it’s about recognizing the human lives impacted and the families forever changed by these preventable tragedies. We aim to provide you with the knowledge and resources to make informed decisions, thereby contributing to a safer holiday season for everyone.
