Sandwich, MA (August 4, 2026) – A vehicle struck a pole on Monday, August 3, on Route 130 near Jan Sebastian Drive, with four people inside at the time.
The Sandwich Fire Department responded to the scene, and more than one ambulance was needed to assist those involved. No further details about the severity of the injuries have been released.
No additional details about what led up to the crash were available at the time.
The circumstances surrounding the crash remain under review.
Our thoughts are with those involved as they receive care.
Massachusetts law generally gives someone three years from the date of a crash to file a personal injury lawsuit, a deadline that applies whether the case involves one occupant or several.
The three-year clock runs separately for each occupant based on their own injuries, which means one passenger's claim could resolve on a different timeline than another's.
This matters because medical treatment for injuries like fractures or internal trauma can extend well beyond a year, and occupants sometimes wait to see how their recovery progresses before deciding whether to pursue a claim.
Waiting too long, however, can make it harder to gather evidence, since witness memories fade and records tied to the vehicle or roadway can become harder to obtain the further removed the request is from the date of the crash.
There are some circumstances that can pause or shorten this three-year window, such as when the injured party is a minor at the time of the crash, which is why understanding how the deadline applies to each occupant individually can be important in a multi-passenger case like this one.
A Massachusetts car accident lawyer can help sort out these deadlines early, particularly when it's unclear whether a road hazard, vehicle defect, or another driver may have contributed to the crash, since identifying the right party to pursue a claim against can itself take time.
Our team at Fiorentino Legal, P.C. can help occupants figure out where they stand and what deadlines may apply to their individual situations.
