What to Do After a Car Accident in Massachusetts
Taking action quickly after a Massachusetts car accident can put you in a better position to successfully recover compensation. Steps to take in the aftermath of a crash include:
- Get to safety: Move out of the road and away from any hazards before doing anything else.
- Seek immediate medical treatment: Head to the nearest hospital and get checked, even if you don’t have immediately apparent injuries. Your medical records will strengthen your case if they show prompt treatment.
- Call 911: Report the accident to the authorities. Your attorney can use the police report as evidence later.
- Document the scene: If you can, take photos of your injuries and any resulting damage. Get contact information from any witnesses.
- Notify your insurer: Call your insurance company and disclose the crash. Don’t say anything more than you need to before talking to a lawyer.
- Consult an attorney: Meet with a local Massachusetts car accident attorney to get started on your case.
Understanding Massachusetts Car Accident Laws
Massachusetts is a “no-fault” state for personal injury crashes, meaning a car accident victim must file a claim under their own insurance policy regardless of who was responsible. Drivers are required to maintain minimum levels of Personal Injury Protection, or PIP, coverage.
However, if your losses exceed your PIP coverage, you might be eligible to pursue a claim against the at-fault party. If your injuries are serious under the law or you have incurred at least $2,000 in medical costs, you can file a personal injury claim against the liable driver. Serious injuries include loss of a body part, permanent and serious disfigurement, loss of sight or hearing, or a fracture.
Massachusetts has a three-year statute of limitations from the accident date for car crash claims. If you miss the deadline, you’ll likely miss your opportunity to pursue a claim. At the same time, three years might seem like a long time, but don’t wait. It’s important to start building a claim as quickly as possible to give you the best shot at recovering compensation.
Common Types of Car Accidents in Massachusetts
Some of the most frequent causes of Massachusetts car accidents include:
- Rear-end collisions, particularly in city traffic in areas like Boston and Cambridge
- Highway crashes on I-95, I-93, and I-495 and other busy roads
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents in urban areas
- Hazardous weather conditions, including snowstorms and black ice
- Drunk, distracted, or otherwise reckless driving
What Compensation Can You Recover After a Car Accident in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts car accident victims can recover compensation for their economic and non-economic damages depending on how their injuries impact their lives.
Economic Damages
Economic damages compensate for the straightforward losses with specific monetary values. Examples include medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, vehicle repair or replacement costs, and the value of future treatment costs.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages cover the more subjective impacts on the victim’s quality of life, such as emotional distress, pain and suffering, permanent disability or disfigurement, loss of consortium, and loss of enjoyment of life.
How Insurance Companies Undervalue Car Accident Claims in Massachusetts.
Insurers will do anything they can to pay you as little as possible, improving their bottom lines at your expense. Common tactics insurance adjusters use to minimize payouts include:
- Pressuring claimants into quickly accepting lowball offers worth much less than the full value of their claims
- Obtaining a recorded statement from the claimant, asking misleading questions, and then using the responses to undermine their case
- Unjustifiably contesting liability for claims
- Slow-walking the process to encourage quick settlements
Experienced legal representation can help Massachusetts car accident victims avoid being taken advantage of by shady insurance companies.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Massachusetts?
Can I Still Recover if I’m Partially at Fault?
If you were no more than 50% responsible for the accident, you can still recover reduced damages for your injuries under Massachusetts’ modified comparative negligence law.
What if I Didn’t Feel Injured at the Scene?
It’s still important to get a medical examination as soon as possible. Some injuries aren’t immediately noticeable, and getting treated early can make recovery easier.
Will I Have to Go to Court?
Most car accident cases settle before trial, but if we need to file a lawsuit and take your case to court, we’ll make sure you’re fully prepared and kept in the know.
Do I Need a Lawyer for a Minor Car Accident in Massachusetts?
While you’re not required to hire a lawyer to make a no-fault claim, a knowledgeable car accident attorney can make the process easier and less stressful and give you the best chance of maximizing your compensation.
How Long Does a Car Accident Settlement Take in Massachusetts?
Depending on the insurers’ cooperation and other factors, your case can settle in a few months or more than a year.
Can I Sue for Pain and Suffering in a No-Fault State Like Massachusetts?
If you’re eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit, you can pursue recovery of your non-economic damages like pain and suffering. To be eligible, you must have incurred at least $2,000 in medical expenses or suffered a serious injury as defined by the law. Serious injuries include loss of a body part, permanent and serious disfigurement, loss of sight or hearing, or a fracture.
