Filing a Massachusetts personal injury lawsuit involves far more than simply showing up to court on your appointed day. The party that you believe to have caused your injury will almost certainly have professional legal defense. This is why it is vital to hire a qualified Massachusetts personal injury lawyer to fight on your side.
The Government and the Massachusetts Statute of Limitations
Massachusetts personal injury lawsuits filed against the government are a particularly complex field. The Massachusetts statute of limitations states that most claims must be filed within 60 days of the injury's occurrence. If you were injured by a government worker who was on the job or your accident was caused by road damage that should have been corrected by a government entity, it's important to act quickly.
In rare cases, the government may concede it was at fault, and negotiate some form of compensation. For the most part, the issue will be decided in court. In this situation, you will need a skilled Massachusetts personal injury lawyer to ensure you follow all of the required procedures in the required timeframe, as these types of lawsuits are for more complicated than filing against an individual.
