What is My Massachusetts Personal Injury Case Worth? (Part A)

If you have been injured in a Massachusetts car accident and are considering filing personal injury claim, it is important to take the necessary steps to ensure that your claim will be settled fairly and you will receive the compensation that you deserve.

While the accident is fresh in your mind, immediately write down everything you can remember about how the car crash occurred. Retain evidence, such as photographs of your damaged car, images and records of any personal injuries that you suffered, as well as the accident scene, and any damaged personal items.

These vital pieces of evidence may prove useful in fighting for your rights during a Massachusetts personal injury lawsuit. It's also wise to consult a Massachusetts personal injury attorney before making any statements about the accident, or signing any settlement offer from an insurance company.

Massachusetts Personal Injury Liability

Under Massachusetts law, a person who has injured you is liable for:

• Your damaged property;
• Your estimated medical expenses;
• Lost wages;
• Your physical pain and suffering;
• Any permanent disfigurement or disability (physical or emotional), including anxiety, depression, shock, or hindrance with family relationships;
• Hindrance in earning capability;
• Any expenses that result from the injury that you suffered

Your Massachusetts personal injury attorney can help you to evaluate these factors and how they will affect the value of your personal injury claim.

Determining Fault in a Massachusetts Car Accident

In Massachusetts, the Comparative Negligence law provides for you to claim damages against another driver, but only if it is proven that the other driver is negligent. If it is found that your actions also contributed to the car accident, then the amount of your compensation will be determined by the extent of your responsibility for the accident and related injuries. In Massachusetts you must prove that the person at fault did not exercise reasonable care, and that their error caused you to have the injury.
