Compensation Available as a Victim

Under the state’s no-fault insurance laws, your first outlet for recovery will be a first-party claim with your own insurer for personal injury protection coverage. You will file this type of claim regardless of who caused your car accident. If, however, your injuries are serious (i.e. broken bones, disabilities or more than $2,000 in necessary medical expenses), you may file a claim against the at-fault party instead. A lawsuit outside of Massachusetts’ no-fault insurance system could provide better coverage for your injuries.

A successful insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit could pay you for several losses and damages related to your auto accident. State courts allow for the retrieval of compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, legal and out-of-pocket costs, property repairs, loss of consortium, lost quality of life, and punitive damages. Our attorneys can help you take the right steps to maximize the financial award retrieved for your injuries.
