Two Critically Injured in Multi-Car Crash on I-95 North in Canton, MA

Canton, MA (August 16, 2026) – Two people were hospitalized with severe injuries on Sunday morning, August 16, following a major multi-vehicle collision on Interstate 95 in Canton. The Massachusetts State Police troopers were dispatched to the northbound lanes near exit 25 shortly after 8:00 a.m.

Upon arrival, state troopers and emergency medical personnel found multiple damaged vehicles occupying the highway. First responders evaluated the occupants at the scene and immediately transported two individuals to a nearby trauma center with serious, life-threatening injuries.

The Norfolk County State Police Detective Unit, along with the Massachusetts State Police Crash Reconstruction and Crime Scene Services units, conducted an extensive investigation on the roadway.

State police are still investigating the crash dynamics to determine the cause.

Our thoughts are with the injured victims as they receive emergency medical treatment.

What Rights Do Victims Have After a Multi-Vehicle Highway Crash in Canton, MA?

Victims of a multi-vehicle crash in Canton, MA, have the right to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering from any negligent driver, provided the victim is not more than 50 percent at fault under state law.

Chain-reaction crashes on high-speed corridors like I-95 or Route 128 often involve multiple negligent parties, from distracted drivers to those following too closely. Under Massachusetts' modified comparative negligence system, injured victims can recover financial damages as long as their share of fault does not exceed 50 percent.

However, insurance carriers in multi-car pileups routinely attempt to minimize payouts by deflecting blame onto other drivers. Securing prompt evidence, such as Massachusetts State Police crash reports, traffic camera footage, and witness testimony, is critical to establishing liability.

Pursuing a personal injury claim after a severe highway accident opens the door to financial recovery for immediate emergency room care, ongoing rehabilitation, lost earning potential, and non-economic losses like pain and suffering. Handling a multi-vehicle claim requires auditing multiple auto policies and managing conflicting insurer demands simultaneously to ensure every available layer of coverage is accessed.
