What Losses Can Be Recovered in Massachusetts?

A personal injury settlement usually covers what was lost because of an injury. If you were injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to recover losses such as medical bills, lost wages, and more. Let’s look at some of the losses you may be able to recover through a personal injury lawsuit.

Medical Expenses

Medical expenses are the most common loss sought in a personal injury case and include medical procedures, medication, therapy, and ongoing treatment.

Income

If the injury affected your ability to work, whether temporarily or permanently, you may be entitled to compensation for lost income.

Pain and Suffering

Other losses that you may seek in your claim can include emotional distress as a result of the accident, loss of enjoyment of hobbies or recreational activities, loss of companionship with your spouse, and associated pain and discomfort from the injury.

Property Damage

If your personal property was damaged in the incident that caused your injury, you can also seek compensation for repairs or replacement. This is common in cases like car accidents, where vehicle damage is a significant concern. To recover these costs, you will need estimates or receipts for the repairs or the value of the damaged property.

Punitive Damages

In some cases, the court may award punitive damages. These are not meant to compensate you for a specific loss but to punish the defendant for particularly egregious or reckless behavior and to deter similar conduct in the future. Punitive damages are awarded less frequently and typically require clear evidence of the defendant’s malicious intent or gross negligence.

Your lawyer will compile all the necessary documents, bills, witness statements, and evidence to build the strongest case possible for your compensation.

Your lawyer will aggressively negotiate on your behalf for the full settlement amount to which you are entitled.

While it is rare for a personal injury case to go to court, sometimes negotiations fail to produce a fair settlement offer and a case has to be brought before a jury to seek full compensation. If your case has to go to court, your lawyer will prepare your case and fiercely represent you and your rights.

Once a fair settlement amount has been offered, we will reach out to you to discuss your options. If you accept the offer, we will get your check to you as soon as possible.

Dealing With Insurance Companies After an Accident

In the aftermath of an accident, one of the most difficult issues to deal with is fielding phone calls from the other party’s insurance company. While they may sound friendly at first, it’s important to remember that insurance companies aren’t your friend.

While insurance companies can cover your losses after an accident, many try to pay as little as they can get away with and even try to escape liability altogether. Remember, they make money by paying people less than they deserve. Dealing with insurance companies is one of the biggest reasons to put an experienced Boston personal injury lawyer on your side after an accident that wasn’t your fault.

An attorney can handle conversations with the other party’s insurance company and ensure you’re being treated fairly, all while you focus on recovering from your injuries.

The Benefits of Having an Attorney on Your Side

Navigating a personal injury claim can be complex and overwhelming, especially when you’re focused on recovering from your injuries. Having an experienced attorney by your side can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. Here are the key benefits of hiring a personal injury lawyer:

Experienced Legal Advice

An experienced personal injury lawyer provides legal advice tailored to your specific situation. They understand the intricacies of personal injury law in Massachusetts and can guide you through the legal process, helping you make informed decisions at every step. Their knowledge ensures that you understand your rights and the potential value of your claim.

Handling Insurance Companies

Dealing with insurance companies can be challenging. A personal injury attorney will handle all communications with the insurance companies, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you are not taken advantage of. They can negotiate on your behalf to secure a fair settlement, preventing the insurance company from using tactics to minimize your compensation.

Maximizing Compensation

A lawyer can help you identify and pursue all possible sources of compensation, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, and punitive damages. They have the background to build a strong case that maximizes your compensation. With their knowledge and experience, they can accurately assess the full extent of your losses and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Reducing Stress

Managing a personal injury claim while recovering from an injury can be overwhelming. An attorney can alleviate much of the stress by handling the legal aspects of your case, allowing you to focus on your recovery. They take care of the paperwork, communications, and negotiations, giving you peace of mind and the ability to heal without added pressure.

Access to Resources

Personal injury attorneys have access to a network of professionals, including medical experts, investigators, and other specialists, who can provide valuable support for your case. This can be crucial for gathering evidence and building a strong claim. Their resources ensure that every aspect of your case is thoroughly investigated and documented.

Contingency Fee Arrangement

Attorney Jim Glaser and his team work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. This arrangement provides you with access to legal representation without upfront costs, ensuring that you can pursue justice regardless of your financial situation. It also motivates your attorney to work diligently to secure the best possible outcome for your case.

Boston Personal Injury FAQs

Each state enforces a timeframe in which individuals are legally allowed to seek compensation through a lawsuit. This is called a statute of limitations. In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations is usually 3 years from the date of the accident. In some cases, such as with an injury that was determined later, the statute of limitations begins from the “discovery date,” meaning the date that the injury was found.

If the injury claim is against the city, county, or state government, you have 2 years to file a formal claim and 3 years to file a lawsuit. Jimmy and his team can help you evaluate your case and its circumstances to determine whether you are still eligible to seek compensation for your losses.

No, it’s generally not advisable to speak directly to the insurance company after an accident. Instead, consult with a personal injury attorney first. Insurance companies often aim to minimize their payouts and may use anything you say against your claim. By directing the insurance company to your lawyer, you ensure that your rights are protected and that all communications are handled professionally. This can prevent you from inadvertently harming your case and help secure a fair settlement.

You should hire a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident. Early legal representation is crucial for preserving evidence, receiving proper medical care, and protecting your rights from the outset. An experienced attorney can manage all communications with insurance companies, guide you through the legal process, and work to secure the maximum compensation you deserve. Delaying legal assistance can jeopardize your case, so it’s best to seek advice promptly.

For the most part, personal injury cases are settled through negotiation, not in court. This is because going to court isn’t usually in anyone’s best interests. It’s expensive, time-consuming, and tends to be an “all-or-nothing” type of affair. Negotiation allows us to come to an acceptable settlement for everyone involved. Sometimes, however, we come to a point where we can’t negotiate further, and then court becomes necessary. If that happens, we’ll still fight for your justice.

Comparative fault is a system Massachusetts has in place that dictates your settlement to be reduced by the percentage of fault you hold. If you’re 10% at fault, you will get 90% of the value, meaning, if your case is valued at $100,000, you’d only be able to receive a maximum compensation of $90,000. Further, if you’re found to be more than 50% at fault in Massachusetts, you can’t get anything at all. That’s why you need a personal injury lawyer in your corner. We can help you seek the maximum settlement amount by building a strong case that proves you were not at fault for the accident.
