No-Fault Law Regarding Auto Accidents in Massachusetts

Even in so-called "no-fault" states, the lack of blame is limited after a car accident. In Massachusetts, one of many no-fault states, you can claim compensation for most damages in an auto accident, with no assignment of fault to the other driver. However, the No-Fault law can only go so far without the blame falling on someone.

This No-Fault perspective, while good in theory, is not always practical in application. Though it ostensibly allows a Massachusetts car accident victim to handle all the disruptive-and sometimes nerve-wracking-affairs of the accident without retaining the services of a personal injury attorney, oftentimes, it does not fully cover an injured party's damages.

Once your medical bills surpass $2,000, your injuries are realized to be permanent, your car's physical damages (both internal and external) need to be paid, or your insurance company gets involved, there will most likely be a party found to be "at fault." At this point, it often may become necessary to contact a qualified Massachusetts personal injury attorney to help you recover the compensation you need.

A Massachusetts personal injury attorney can help you to determine if you are fully covered under Massachusetts No-Fault insurance, or if, in fact, you should pursue additional damages and compensation from either your insurance company, or the insurance carrier for the negligent driver involved in your crash.
