I was hit by a hit and run vehicle as pedestrian. I went through the motions as instructed by the proper people. Hiring an attorney was not something I had realized I needed to do. After being in the Dr's office overwhelmed by the paperwork and pain someone said, your Attorney will do that for you. So I went on a hunt. If you are looking for an Attorney who you can actually talk to on the phone, Attorney Shute is your guy. He was always very professional and he explained everything in a way I always understood. He is patient, a good listener and aware of my injuries making me comfortable. I don't hesitate to tell people he's a great choice. And oh yes, we won my case.

“The Three Second Rule” is recommended by Road Safety experts for avoiding rear-end crashes and multi-car pileups. Stay at least 3 seconds behind the vehicle in front of you; 6 or more seconds in inclement weather.
Texting- Sending or Reading a text distracts a driver from other vehicles, obstacles and lane lines for about 4-5 seconds. At 55 mph the vehicle travels more than the length of a football field in that time.
MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISIONS
IN AND NEAR CHICOPEE
There are many causes of motor vehicle collisions including distracted driving, tailgating, driving while over-tired, and mistakes in judging the speed and distance of other cars. These accidents can happen anywhere at any time of day but Chicopee drivers know that there are some especially dangerous intersections and traffic patterns that are a challenge to drivers and pedestrians alike.
THE INFAMOUS “CHICOPEE CURVE”
Chicopee’s most notorious and deadly roadway is well-known locally as “The Chicopee Curve.” This is the stretch of Interstate 91 in Chicopee near where I-91 intersects with I-391. I-91 is constructed much like most Interstate highways so car and truck drivers generally are traveling at “highway speed” where the speed limit is 65 MPH. The danger, especially for drivers unfamiliar with the area, is that with little warning, the speed limit drops and drivers on I-91 find themselves going into a curve that is almost 90 degrees. For any driver who does not slow down, staying in his or her lane and on the roadway becomes an extreme challenge. The risk is even greater for truck drivers who easily flip into a rollover crash, injuring themselves and possibly crushing smaller vehicles near them. The challenge increases in the I-91 Northbound lane where drivers coming from the I-391 on-ramp are merging onto I-91 at the same spot where the I-91 drivers are trying to maintain control on the Chicopee Curve.

MEMORIAL DRIVE CHICOPEE
Memorial Drive has numerous intersections with and without traffic lights. The road has curb cuts for numerous businesses, and two large rotaries that are combined with traffic signals and merging lanes. The entrance into the Chicopee Marketplace near the Home Depot has side-by- side turning lanes into the parking lot. Side-by-side turning lanes require precision driving by both drivers so that they do not drift or cut into each other’s lane and cause side-swipe or T-bone crashes. The intersection of Memorial Drive and Chicopee Marketplace comes in at #110 on the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s most dangerous intersections in the state. Atty. Shute knows Chicopee and he knows how to navigate complex situations and analyze them for you so that you receive the money you need for medical bills and compensation for the pain and injuries you have endured.
PEDESTRIAN/VEHICLE COLLISIONS IN CHICOPEE
COLLISIONS IN CHICOPEE
As with all vehicle collisions, pedestrian/vehicle collisions usually are the result of negligence and violations of the rules-of-the-road, Drivers may ignore crosswalks because they are in a hurry or because they do not remember when the traffic laws require them to yield the right of way to pedestrians.
DOWNTOWN CHICOPEE
Pedestrians and drivers who are familiar with Chicopee know that they need to be particularly wary of crossings in Downtown Chicopee. The intersection of Cabot Street and Exchange Street and the intersection of Exchange Street and Center Street both create the same hazards. Both intersections have side-by-side turning lanes for vehicles turning left. The drivers of side-by-side turning vehicles may be focused on not side-swiping each other and may be distracted from checking for pedestrians. Equally dangerous at both intersections is that vehicles turning left are turning onto one way streets. Drivers and pedestrians alike are used to vehicles turning “Right- on-Red” but both can be surprised where “Left-on Red” is allowed onto one-way streets. These conditions can create complicated issues of driver and pedestrian responsibilities.
Chicopee Falls
Chicopee drivers and pedestrians will not be surprised to learn that the intersection of Broadway and East Main Street at the end of the Deady Memorial Bridge in the Falls comes in at #82 on the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s list of most dangerous intersections in the Commonwealth. The Deady Memorial Bridge (known to long-time Chicopee drivers as “The Singing Bridge” because of the sound of humming tires on its original metal grid surface) has two traffic lanes in each direction. As drivers coming from Memorial Drive reach the intersection at the end of the bridge, the two lanes split into five: left turning lane, two straight ahead lanes, one bear-right lane and one right turn lane. Drivers have to choose quickly and this often results in last-second lane changes and the side-swipe crashes that result. For pedestrians, the intersection is equally chaotic: traffic coming from multiple directions and a 130’ crosswalk that crosses seven lanes of traffic.
