Accidents in Ayer: What You Need to Know

Ayer's status as a transportation hub contributes to its susceptibility to certain types of personal injury accidents. Those injured in Ayer may need legal guidance to pursue compensation for their injuries.

Common incidents include:

  • Pedestrian and car accidents: Major roadways, including Routes 2A, 110, and 111, converge with the MBTA Commuter Rail station, leading to increased vehicular and pedestrian traffic. This heightened activity elevates the risk of motor vehicle accidents, which are among the most common personal injury incidents in the area.
