In Massachusetts, you may be able to recover various types of damages in a personal injury case, including:
1. Medical expenses (past and future)
2. Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
3. Pain and suffering
4. Emotional distress
5. Property damage
6. Loss of consortium (for spouses)
7. Punitive damages (in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct)
The specific damages available depend on the circumstances of your case.
After an injury in Massachusetts, take these important steps:
1. Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor.
2. Report the incident (to police for car accidents, to property owners for slip and falls, etc.).
3. Gather evidence if possible (photos, witness contact information).
4. Do not admit fault or give recorded statements to insurance companies.
5. Keep all medical records and receipts.
6. Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and discuss your options.
Medical malpractice cases in Massachusetts are subject to specific rules:
1. There’s a 3-year statute of limitations, starting from when you knew or should have known about the malpractice.
2. Before filing a lawsuit, you must give the healthcare provider 182 days’ notice of your intent to sue.
3. You must file an “offer of proof” with a tribunal of experts who determine if there’s enough evidence to proceed.
4. There’s no cap on compensatory damages, but non-economic damages (pain and suffering) in medical malpractice cases against non-profit organizations are capped at $20,000.
Due to their complexity, it’s crucial to work with an experienced medical malpractice attorney.
Insurance companies play a significant role in personal injury cases in Massachusetts:
1. They often represent the defendant and handle claim negotiations.
2. They investigate the incident and assess damages.
3. They may offer settlements to resolve the case without going to court.
4. If a lawsuit is filed, they typically provide legal representation for the defendant.
It’s important to remember that insurance companies aim to minimize payouts. This is why having your own attorney is crucial – they can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf and ensure you receive fair compensation.
