Personal Injury Lawsuit in Massachusetts: What You Should Know Deadline for filing a personal injury lawsuit in Massachusetts

Massachusetts’ statute of limitation varies depending on the case and age of the person injured. Many personal injury claims have a three year window to file a personal injury lawsuit in state court. This applies to certain cases except where the injury was latent and couldn’t be discovered immediately after the accident. It is best to seek legal counsel as soon as possible to avoid being barred by time from bringing suit. You can never predict the outcome of settlement discussions and the next step – a lawsuit – can take up significant time, depending on the nature of your case.

No-fault law for auto accident cases :As a no-fault state for auto accidents, Massachusetts expects your insurance carrier to pay all medical bills, associated expenses and lost wages up to the policy limit. You cannot file a case against the offending party unless you have suffered serious and permanent disfigurement and/or your medical expenses exceed $2,000. We help you understand if you can pursue a claim or if the no-fault system applies.

Strict liability for cases involving dangerous products and dog bites : Manufacturers or suppliers of dangerous products, and dog owners are held strictly liable for any personal injury caused. If the defendant’s actions caused your injuries, the party may be found liable even if it has exercised reasonable care in conducting his activities.

• Estimating the financial burden of a long-term or permanently disabling injury is challenging. We can help you get the most out of your claim.
• The compensation awarded is dependent on the severity of injuries, which in turn, is determined from medical bills, recuperation time and other factors. We help you get compensation at the highest compensation range.
• If careless, incompetent, negligent or unprofessional treatment from a doctor, nurse or medical provider is responsible for your illness or injury, you must demonstrate evidence of medical malpractice to support your claims. Improper treatment, failure to diagnose, and failure to warn patients of known risks of a treatment/procedure are categories of malpractice claims that we can present aggressively on your behalf.
