Legal Question in Personal Injury in Massachusetts
Town liable?
I was involved in an car accident, which is a no fault on my part, and it could have been avoided if I did not hit a patch of sand near the utility pole. Is the town liable for my damages? My brand new car was totaled and I also broke my hand.

Re: Town liable?
Whether the town can be held liable will depend on the circumstances surrounding the patch of sand; whether it created a dangerous driving condition and when the town was put on notice of this condition... in short, whether the municipality was negligent and whether the accident could have otherwise been avoided. Please contact me if you wish to discuss the particulars of your case.
