Investigators are still working to determine what happened. 

We hope everyone involved makes a full and speedy recovery.

Who Is Liable When Two Vehicles Meet at an Intersection in Falmouth, MA?

In Massachusetts, liability when two vehicles collide at an intersection usually falls on the driver who failed to yield or ran a stop sign, though fault can be divided between drivers under the state's comparative negligence rules, which means a driver only 30 percent at fault can still recover a portion of damages. 

Massachusetts operates under a no-fault insurance system, so each driver's own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage generally covers initial medical costs regardless of who was at fault. 

Once expenses pass a certain threshold, an injured driver may be able to step outside the no-fault system and pursue a claim directly against the other driver. State law generally allows three years from the date it occurred to file a personal injury lawsuit.

When one vehicle strikes another broadside, occupants tend to absorb force through the doors and side panels of the vehicle, which can lead to fractures, head injuries, or spinal trauma even at relatively low speeds. Symptoms like nerve pain or internal bruising don't always surface right away, which is why prompt medical evaluation matters for anyone involved. A Massachusetts car accident lawyer can later help connect these injuries to medical records and damage reports gathered afterward.
