Car accidents take thousands of lives throughout Massachusetts every year. In Medford alone, hundreds of serious injuries and deaths related to traffic collisions occur annually. Most car accidents are avoidable. They happen when drivers or other parties are negligent or irresponsible. At Sweeney Merrigan Law, LLP, we care about crash victims in Medford. We do our best to help clients through tailored legal strategies, aggressive insurance claim negotiations and taking cases to trial when necessary. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.
Your options for seeking financial recovery after an auto accident will depend on the fault laws in your state. Most states are fault-based in their insurance systems, meaning crash victims will seek recovery from the person that caused the wreck. In Massachusetts, however, a no-fault system presides. No-fault insurance laws mean you will file a claim with your own insurance provider regardless of fault, seeking benefits from your personal injury protection insurance coverage. Call your insurance company as soon as possible after a car accident to report the crash and seek benefits.
The only circumstances in which you will be able to pursue recovery from the at-fault driver in Massachusetts is if your injuries meet the state’s threshold. Massachusetts’ serious injury threshold states that crash victims may file third-party claims against others if their injuries cost more than $2,000 in reasonable medical expenses. You may also qualify to bring a lawsuit if the accident caused severe and permanent disfigurement or scarring, loss of vision, loss of hearing, or broken bones. In these situations, you or your lawyer could file a claim against the party that caused your car accident.
