Risk of Quincy Personal Injuries

Quincy, Massachusetts is part of Norfolk County and is considered a southern suburb of Boston. As of 2010, the population of Quincy was 92,271. Quincy is the eighth largest city in Massachusetts, and it borders Boston, Milton, Weymouth, Hull and Braintree. Quincy is an urban area, but 23 percent of its land area is located within a state park called the Blue Hills Reservation.

Quincy is made up of numerous independent neighborhoods including Germantown, Montclair, Quincy Center, and South Quincy. People live and work within these neighborhoods but the proximity to Boston means many people commute using the regional subway system operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. Quincy is a relatively safe area and households have a median income of $77,514, which is well above the national average. However, there is still risk of injury within the City of Quincy.

An estimated 66 percent of injury-related deaths in the state of Massachusetts happen due to unintentional injuries caused by motor vehicle collisions, drug overdoses, falls, fires and drownings. Statewide, 2,820 people died as a result of injuries in Massachusetts in 2008. According to Mass.gov, falls are the second-leading cause of injury deaths in Massachusetts, with only poisoning resulting in more fatalities. Falls accounted for 18 percent of fatalities and motor vehicle collisions were the cause of 13 percent of injury-related deaths.

Quincy Injury Victims Have Legal Rights

When an injury occurs in Quincy, victims may be taken to the 116-bed Quincy Medical Center. Unfortunately, many injured victims may require long-term care by home health aids, in a nursing home setting or in a rehabilitation center. For example, as many as 52 percent of victims of brain injury continue to suffer from moderate or severe disabilities a year or longer after the initial injury, according to a study published by the National Institutes of Health. This helps to explain why Research America reports that the cost of treating a brain injury can exceed $3 million.

When any type of injury occurs as a result of negligence or a person or company’s failure to fulfill legal requirements for safety, the victim or his surviving family members may pursue a claim for monetary compensation. An experienced personal injury lawyer can help those who have been hurt to pursue a damage claim so they can recover the money they may be entitled to under Massachusetts law.
