Reasons to File a Massachusetts Personal Injury Claim

Some personal injuries sustained in Massachusetts car accidents are so devastating and tragic that the victims will undoubtedly face a lifetime of pain and challenges. When a Massachusetts woman had her arm severed a few years ago in a drunk-driving accident caused by a negligent driver, she forever had her life shaped by the careless decisions of another person. 

The drunk driver was a man employed by the 99 Restaurants of Boston, Mass. After being served alcohol at his employer's bar following a kitchen shift, he got into his car with passenger Laurie Clifford, and subsequently collided with a bus. Because of injuries suffered during the Massachusetts drunk driving accident, doctors were forced to amputate Clifford's arm.

The accident victim sued for personal injuries and after a lengthy trial, a Massachusetts court ordered 99 Restaurants to pay Clifford $3.2 million in damages plus an additional $1.8 million in interest.

It's important to know that in Massachusetts, extreme physical injury-such as this victim's tragic loss of a limb-is not the only reason for compensating car accident victims.
