What Personal Injury Compensation Can You Recover in Massachusetts?

One of the first questions our clients ask is: what am I entitled to claim? The answer depends on the specifics of your case, but personal injury compensation in Massachusetts can typically cover:

  • Medical Expenses — Past, present, and future costs of treatment, surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing care.

  • Lost Wages and Earning Capacity — Income lost during recovery, as well as any reduction in your ability to earn in the future.

  • Pain and Suffering — Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injury.

  • Loss of Enjoyment of Life — Where injuries prevent you from participating in activities and experiences that were important to you before the accident.

  • Property Damage — Repair or replacement costs for any property damaged in the incident.

It is important to note that Massachusetts follows a modified comparative fault rule (MGL c. 231, § 85). This means that as long as you are not more than 50% responsible for your accident, you may still recover compensation — though your award may be reduced in proportion to your share of fault. Our attorney will work to minimize any attribution of fault to you and pursue the maximum personal injury settlement available.

How the Personal Injury Claims Process Works in Massachusetts

Navigating a personal injury claim can feel overwhelming, especially when you are recovering from serious injuries. Our Plymouth personal injury lawyer guide you through each step:

  1. Free Initial Consultation — We review the details of your accident and injuries and will give you an honest assessment of your case and explain your options clearly.

  2. Investigation and Evidence Gathering — We collect police reports, medical records, witness statements, photographs, surveillance footage, and any other evidence needed to build a strong claim.

  3. Establishing Liability — We identify the responsible party or parties and construct a compelling legal argument demonstrating how their negligence caused your injuries.

  4. Valuing Your Claim — Working with medical professionals and financial experts where necessary, we calculate the full extent of your losses — both current and future.

  5. Negotiation — We engage with insurers and opposing parties to seek a fair personal injury settlement. If a satisfactory offer is not forthcoming, we are fully prepared to take your case to court in Plymouth County Superior Court or the appropriate Massachusetts jurisdiction.

  6. Resolution — Whether through settlement or litigation, we fight to achieve the outcome you deserve and ensure you receive every dollar of the compensation awarded to you.

How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims (M.G.L. c. 260, §2A) is three years from the date of the accident or injury. If you miss this deadline, you will generally lose your right to pursue compensation entirely, regardless of how strong your case may be.

There are exceptions, for instance, claims involving minors or cases where an injury was not immediately discovered, but you should never count on an exception applying to your situation. The sooner you contact a personal injury lawyer in Plymouth, the better positioned we will be to preserve critical evidence, identify witnesses, and protect your right to recovery.

Plymouth Personal Injury FAQ

Do I need a lawyer to make a personal injury claim in Massachusetts?
While it is not legally required, attempting to handle a claim on your own puts you at a serious disadvantage when dealing with experienced insurance adjusters and defense attorneys. A skilled Plymouth personal injury attorney knows how to properly value your claim, navigate Massachusetts law, and negotiate effectively to secure the best possible outcome.

How long will my personal injury claim take?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether liability is disputed. Some claims resolve within several months; others involving serious injuries or contested liability may take longer. We will provide you with realistic expectations from the outset and keep you informed every step of the way.

What if I was partly at fault for my accident?
Under Massachusetts' modified comparative fault law, you can still recover personal injury compensation even if you were partially at fault — as long as your share of responsibility does not exceed 50%. Do not assume you have no case. Contact us for a free evaluation.

Does Massachusetts have a no-fault auto insurance system?
Yes. Massachusetts is a no-fault state, which means that after a car accident, your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays for certain medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the crash. However, when injuries are serious, you may be entitled to step outside the no-fault system and file a claim directly against the at-fault driver. Our attorney can advise you on the best path forward for your specific situation.

Will my case go to court?
The majority of personal injury claims are resolved through negotiation without the need for a trial. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorney is an experienced  litigator who is fully prepared to advocate for you in a Massachusetts courtroom.
