After a motor vehicle accident, the most important thing to do is seek medical help right away. Don’t delay seeking medical treatment following an accident because you fear an expensive hospital bill. It's vital to take care of your health now to ensure proper recuperation from your injuries and to make sure you aren’t experiencing any dangerous internal injuries that aren’t immediately visible. A delay in getting medical assistance may also negatively affect a potential personal injury claim you have against the at-fault driver for compensation. 

Filing a personal injury claim after getting hurt in a car accident in Swansea is a time sensitive process and is subject to deadlines put forth in the Massachusetts statute of limitations. Therefore, the sooner you seek help from an experienced attorney at Tapalian Law, the better we can assist you. Attorney David Tapalian and his team are available every day of the week, including nights and weekends, to answer your questions and concerns. David will personally take on your case and is dedicated to giving each client the individualized attention they deserve. Tapalian Law charges no money for our services unless we win your case. Our team will take charge of obtaining police reports, medical documents, and other logistical matters necessary for your car accident claim and work to recover the money you lost due to medical bills, wages lost due to missed employment following the injury, and compensation for future procedures, therapies, and/or surgeries. The insurance companies want you to settle for the least amount of money, but Tapalian Law focuses on getting you proper compensation for the pain and suffering you incurred. 

Vehicle collisions happen at any time and any place, though some sites are home to more frequent crashes than others. The Grand Army of the Republic Highway at Swansea Mall Drive was designated as one of the most common car crash locations in Massachusetts. The intersection was the location of 54 crashes from 2013-2015 with 22 accidents involving injuries. Another intersection in Swansea, between Market Street and Grand Army of the Republic Highway also made the list. This intersection resulted in 130 crashes between 2013-2015, 38 of them involving injuries. A qualified Swansea car accident lawyer can help you following an accident at one of these intersections or roadways in the town. 

In 2020, four vehicles collided on Interstate 195 in Swansea and a vehicle collided fatally with a pedestrian at this same location only months later. A 47-year-old man died when a driver hit him as he was walking across lanes after leaving his car due to an altercation with a passenger.  

City data shows one fatal collision in the town in 2019 and two in 2018. When a Swansea car accident is fatal, the last thing a grieving family wants to struggle with is the insurance companies. While we can’t ease the pain of losing a loved one, Tapalian Law wants to ensure you get the compensation you deserve to ease any financial strain related to the loss. According to Massachusetts laws, any careless party that caused the death of someone should be held liable for the subsequent damages the family faces afterward. Attorney David Tapalian is ready to take on your wrongful death claim to get you the compensation you deserve after losing a loved one to a negligent motorist.
