What are the principles of Massachusetts personal injury law?

When you’ve been hurt and someone else is to blame, it’s important to speak with a qualified attorney who can explain the aspects of Massachusetts law that might affect your case, such as:

• Negligence — When someone is injured because a defendant violated their duty of reasonable care, the victim can collect compensation for the harm that resulted.
• Reckless and intentional misconduct — Someone whose willful or reckless conduct leads to another person’s injury might have to pay punitive damages or face criminal prosecution along with the compensatory relief owed to the plaintiff.
• Strict liability — In certain injury claims, such as cases arising out of dog bites, a defendant might be strictly liable for damages even if they were not negligent in any way.
• Comparative fault — There are instances where the victim is partly responsible for their injury. You can still collect damages in these situations as long as your share of the fault is less than 51 percent. In these matters, a plaintiff’s award is reduced by the percentage of blame assigned to them.

After meeting with one of our lawyers, you’ll have a firm understanding of the legal principles affecting your case and can make an informed decision on how to proceed.

What types of damages can I get in a Massachusetts injury case?

Compensatory damages in a Massachusetts personal injury case are divided into the following two categories:

• Special damages — Tangible costs stemming from an injury are referred to as special damages under state law. This type of compensation includes reimbursement for medical bills, lost wages, rehabilitation expenses and property damage.
• General damages — Not every type of harm has a specific price. If you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s negligence, you deserve payment for the discomfort you’ve experienced and the effect that your injury has had on your ability to enjoy life. We can explain what type of general damages are available to compensate you for your pain and suffering, disfigurement and other harm resulting from your injury.

Our firm is committed to maximizing the payment that Massachusetts victims collect from the parties liable for their injuries.

What is the statute of limitations for Massachusetts injury claim?

You must act quickly to preserve your rights, as you generally only have a limited time frame of three years after the accident to bring a lawsuit. Waiting too long could make gathering crucial evidence and finding witnesses to the incident difficult and affect how much you may collect in an award or settlement.
