The Berkshires draw visitors to their scenic beauty, cultural attractions, and mountain roads. But the same rural, winding two-lane routes that make the region beautiful also create distinct accident risks.
Higher speeds on rural roads, limited sightlines around curves and hills, wildlife crossings, and severe winter weather all contribute to serious crashes in Berkshire County. Longer emergency response times can worsen outcomes.
Tourist traffic to destinations across the county adds unfamiliar drivers to local roads, particularly during peak seasons. Crashes on routes through the hill towns can be especially severe.
Civil injury cases in the area are generally handled through the Berkshire County courts in Pittsfield. The same Massachusetts injury rules apply, and an attorney familiar with the region can help injured people navigate their claims.
