Everett, MA (July 16, 2026) – A vehicle struck and injured a pedestrian on Route 16 at Santilli Circle in Everett on Wednesday, July 15.

Emergency units arrived around 9:00 p.m. and assisted the injured person. The extent of the pedestrian’s injuries has not been confirmed publicly.

The Everett Police Department⁠ continues to investigate what caused the accident.

Our thoughts are with the injured pedestrian as they recover.

Who Pays My Medical Bills After a Pedestrian Accident in Everett, MA?

The striking vehicle’s Personal Injury Protection coverage⁠ may pay up to $8,000 toward a pedestrian’s medical expenses and other covered losses after a pedestrian accident in Everett, MA. PIP generally applies regardless of fault. Health insurance may cover additional treatment, depending on the policy.

As medical costs rise, PIP may not cover every expense tied to the injuries. Hospital care, follow-up appointments, rehabilitation, and missed work can quickly create financial strain. Other insurance coverage may then become essential during recovery.

Around Everett, pedestrians regularly travel along Broadway, Ferry Street, and Revere Beach Parkway. Santilli Circle also draws vehicles from several directions. Heavy traffic and busy crossings can increase the danger for people traveling on foot.

After PIP runs out, an injured pedestrian may pursue the at-fault driver’s bodily injury coverage. Uninsured or underinsured motorist protection may provide another source of compensation. The available benefits depend on the policies and circumstances.

Under Massachusetts law⁠, compensation decreases according to the injured person’s share of fault. Recovery remains possible when that share does not exceed the combined fault of those responsible. Insurers may still dispute how blame should be divided.

Beyond the immediate insurance questions, careful records can help show which expenses remain unpaid. Medical bills, receipts, wage statements, and treatment notes can document the claim. Photographs and witness details may also help explain how the crash happened.

Once medical bills begin mounting, sorting through several insurance policies while recovering can feel overwhelming. A Massachusetts personal injury lawyer can gather records, interview witnesses, and identify every available source of coverage. An attorney can also challenge unfair attempts to blame the pedestrian.
