Common Questions about Auto Accidents

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Massachusetts?
After a car accident in Massachusetts, you should: 1) Check for injuries and call 911 if needed. 2) Move to a safe area if possible. 3) Exchange information with the other driver(s) involved. 4) Take photos of the accident scene and damage. 5) Get contact information from witnesses. 6) Report the accident to the police. 7) Notify your insurance company. 8) Seek medical attention, even if you feel fine. 9) Contact a personal injury attorney to protect your rights.

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit is generally three years from the date of the accident. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as cases involving minors or government entities. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you don’t miss any important deadlines.

Is Massachusetts a no-fault state for car accidents?
Yes, Massachusetts is a no-fault state for car accidents. This means that regardless of who caused the accident, each person’s own insurance company will cover their medical expenses and lost wages up to a certain limit. However, in cases of severe injuries or high medical costs, you may be able to step outside the no-fault system and file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver.

What types of damages can I recover in a Massachusetts car accident case?
In a Massachusetts car accident case, you may be able to recover various types of damages, including: 1) Medical expenses (past and future). 2) Lost wages and loss of earning capacity. 3) Pain and suffering. 4) Property damage. 5) Loss of consortium (for spouses). 6) Emotional distress. 7) Punitive damages (in cases of extreme negligence or misconduct). The specific damages available will depend on the circumstances of your case.

Do I need a lawyer for a minor car accident in Massachusetts?
While it’s not always necessary to hire a lawyer for a minor car accident, it’s often beneficial to at least consult with one. Even seemingly minor accidents can lead to unexpected complications, such as delayed injuries or disputes with insurance companies. A skilled attorney can help protect your rights, ensure you receive fair compensation, and handle any legal complexities that may arise.

How does Massachusetts determine fault in a car accident?
Massachusetts uses a modified comparative negligence rule to determine fault in car accidents. This means that each party involved can be assigned a percentage of fault. If you’re found to be 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover damages. If you’re 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages, but they will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Factors used to determine fault include police reports, witness statements, physical evidence, and traffic laws.

What if the other driver in my Massachusetts car accident was uninsured?
If you’re involved in an accident with an uninsured driver in Massachusetts, you can file a claim under your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. This coverage is mandatory in Massachusetts and is designed to protect you in such situations. If your damages exceed your UM coverage limits, you may need to pursue a lawsuit against the uninsured driver directly, though collecting damages can be challenging in these cases.

How long does it typically take to settle a car accident case in Massachusetts?
The time it takes to settle a car accident case in Massachusetts can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and the willingness of insurance companies to negotiate. Simple cases might settle in a few months, while more complex cases can take a year or more. If a lawsuit is filed and the case goes to trial, it could take several years to resolve. Your attorney can give you a more accurate estimate based on the specifics of your case.

What if I was partially at fault for the car accident in Massachusetts?
If you were partially at fault for a car accident in Massachusetts, you may still be able to recover damages under the state’s modified comparative negligence rule. As long as you’re found to be 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages, but your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re awarded $100,000 in damages but found to be 30% at fault, you would receive $70,000.

Should I give a statement to the other driver’s insurance company after a car accident in Massachusetts?
It’s generally not advisable to give a statement to the other driver’s insurance company without first consulting with an attorney. Insurance adjusters may use your statements against you to minimize their liability. Instead, politely decline to give a statement and inform them that you’ll have your attorney contact them. This helps protect your rights and ensures that you don’t inadvertently say something that could harm your case.

What if my car accident injuries don’t appear until days or weeks after the accident in Massachusetts?
It’s not uncommon for car accident injuries to have delayed onset. If you develop symptoms days or weeks after the accident, seek medical attention immediately. Document all your symptoms and medical treatments. Inform your insurance company and your attorney about these developments. While delayed injuries can complicate a claim, they don’t necessarily prevent you from seeking compensation. However, it’s crucial to act promptly once symptoms appear to strengthen your case.

How does Massachusetts’ no-fault insurance system affect my right to sue after a car accident?
Massachusetts’ no-fault insurance system limits your right to sue after a car accident. You can only step outside the no-fault system and file a lawsuit if your injuries meet certain thresholds. These thresholds include: 1) Medical expenses exceeding $2,000, 2) Injuries resulting in permanent and serious disfigurement, 3) Fractured bone, or 4) Substantial loss of sight or hearing. If your injuries meet one of these thresholds, you can pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for additional damages, including pain and suffering.

What should I do if the insurance company offers me a quick settlement after my Massachusetts car accident?
If an insurance company offers you a quick settlement after your Massachusetts car accident, it’s best to proceed with caution. While it may be tempting to accept a quick payout, these initial offers are often much lower than what your claim is actually worth. Before accepting any settlement offer: 1) Ensure you’ve reached maximum medical improvement. 2) Consult with an experienced personal injury attorney who can evaluate the offer. 3) Consider all current and future expenses related to your injuries. 4) Don’t sign anything without understanding its implications. Remember, once you accept a settlement, you typically can’t go back and ask for more compensation later.
