Stages In A Massachusetts Personal Injury Case (Part B)

When To Call A Massachusetts Personal Injury Attorney

To ensure you prepare yourself properly prior to filing a Massachusetts personal injury lawsuit, a Massachusetts law professional can provide helpful information. Here are some tips for knowing when to call a personal injury lawyer:

  • Fault is uncertain in the accident.
  • The police report with said the accident is not clear and may wrongfully put you at fault.
  • The accident is serious and significant serious injury has occurred.
  • A death has occurred.
  • You have no motor vehicle coverage.

Filing a Massachusetts Personal Injury Lawsuit

Massachusetts personal injury lawsuits are filed at the courthouse in the county where the personal injury accident occurred. If the responsible party does not live in this county, then you will file where they reside.

If the responsible party lives in a different state and the lawsuit is for more then $75,000, a personal injury lawsuit may be filed in a U.S. District Court.
A Massachusetts personal injury attorney can provide more specific information about Massachusetts jurisdiction requirements for filing a personal injury lawsuit.

The state of Massachusetts is a compulsory insurance state
, which means that anyone registering a car must purchase minimal insurance coverage for:

  • Medical bills for themselves and anyone in the car during an accident.
  • Medical costs for those hurt as a result of an accident they are responsible for.
  • Property damage to someone else's property (this includes vehicles).
  • Damage caused by any uninsured driver of an automobile.
