Frequently Asked Questions
What is the statute of limitations for a car accident lawsuit in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation. It is important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible to preserve your claim.
How does Massachusetts no-fault insurance work after a car accident?
Massachusetts is a no-fault state, meaning your own insurance company pays for your medical expenses and lost wages up to your PIP coverage limit, regardless of who caused the crash. You can only sue the at-fault driver if your injuries meet a serious threshold, such as a broken bone or permanent disfigurement.
What damages can I recover in a Stoneham car accident case?
You may recover economic damages like medical expenses, lost income, and property damage. You may also recover non-economic damages for pain and suffering, but only if your injuries are serious enough to meet the Massachusetts no-fault threshold. Punitive damages are rare and usually not available in standard car accident cases.
