With
a bustling economy, Boston has its share of heavy-traffic areas at
rush hour as people drive to and from work. Even when they are
running late though, responsible drivers make sure they follow every
traffic rule to avoid causing or getting involved in an accident.
Sometimes, however, car accidents are not caused by irresponsible
driving but by poorly maintained roads or insufficient road signs.
Victims
of accidents caused by road defects and other related reasons can
file a claim with the City of Boston. Their claim must provide a
detailed explanation of the property damage or injuries incurred. and
specify the location and date where the accident occurred. They also
have to pay a filing fee of $15.
Accident
victims who file a claim with the City of Boston, however, will have
to wait for the city’s Law Department to complete an investigation
into the accident to find out whether the claimants are eligible to
receive compensation or not. Enlisting the services of an experienced
Boston accident lawyer can help accident victims build a strong case
and increase their chances of being awarded a fair and just
compensation. A lawyer will help gather the necessary evidence to
support their client’s case, such as police reports and testimonies
from people who may have witnessed the accident.
