What Is Defined as a Personal Injury in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts, personal injury law covers situations where someone suffers harm due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. It encompasses both physical injuries and emotional or psychological harm. The law requires the injured party to prove that the other party owed them a duty of care, breached that duty, and directly caused the injuries or harm in question.

What To Expect in a Personal Injury Case

Here’s what to expect when pursuing compensation for a personal injury:

During your free consultation with one of Jim Glaser Law’s injury lawyers in Boston, you’ll receive a professional evaluation of your case. We will review details, ask questions, and help you understand your rights and options. We will also explain possible legal actions in straightforward terms, so you know what to expect if you decide to proceed. 

This consultation is a risk-free opportunity to gain clarity and explore your options with no pressure. Jim Glaser Law’s goal is to make you feel informed and supported, so you can make the best choice for your unique circumstances.

After your free case review, we move forward by compiling all the necessary documents, bills, witness statements, and evidence to build the strongest case possible for you. We gather medical records, accident reports, and receipts to demonstrate the financial impact of your injuries. If needed, we secure witness statements and expert testimonies to support your claims. Our team meticulously documents each detail, creating a comprehensive timeline of events that strengthens your case.

Our thorough preparation gives us a strong foundation to establish the other party’s liability and clearly outline the full extent of your damages, from medical costs to lost wages and emotional suffering. Using this comprehensive case file, we engage with the insurance companies or opposing parties, advocating fiercely for the compensation you may be entitled to.

During discovery, both sides exchange evidence, allowing us to strengthen your claim with medical records, expert opinions, and witness statements. Many cases then proceed to mediation, where a neutral mediator facilitates negotiations to reach a fair settlement. If mediation is unsuccessful, arbitration may be an option, where a third party reviews the case and issues a decision.

Our team is skilled in negotiation tactics and well-versed in the strategies insurers may use to undervalue claims. We’re prepared to counter these tactics and ensure that your injuries and losses are fully recognized. If a fair resolution cannot be reached, we are always ready to take your case to trial.

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 help you prepare and fight for your justice.

Once a fair settlement amount has been offered, we will reach out to you to discuss your options. During this conversation, we will walk you through the terms of the offer and address any questions or concerns you may have. If you choose to accept the offer, we will ensure that your check is processed and delivered to you as soon as possible.

Types of Compensation for a Massachusetts Personal Injury

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.

What To Do After a Serious Injury in Boston

If you’ve been seriously injured in Boston, taking the right steps can protect your health, legal rights, and potential for compensation. Here’s a list of what you should do immediately after an injury:

  1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately: Your health and safety come first. Call 911 if necessary and/or visit an emergency room. Even if injuries seem minor, seek a medical evaluation to document your condition and rule out internal injuries that may worsen over time.
  2. Document the Scene and Your Injuries: If possible, take photos or videos of the accident scene, any hazards that caused your injury, and visible injuries. These visuals can help establish the circumstances of the incident and support your claim. Continue to maintain a detailed record of your treatment, vehicle repairs, and anything else relevant to your claim.
  3. Collect Contact Information: Gather names, phone numbers, and addresses of anyone involved, including witnesses who can provide statements about the incident.
  4. File a Police or Incident Report: Reporting the incident to local authorities or management (if it’s a workplace or public location) creates an official record, which can be useful when filing an injury claim later. Obtain a copy of this report for your records.
  5. Avoid Speaking to Insurance Adjusters Alone: Insurance companies may contact you for a statement. Do not speak to adjusters without legal counsel as statements could inadvertently harm your case. Politely decline and inform them you are in the process of obtaining representation.
  6. Consult With a Personal Injury Lawyer: A qualified Boston personal injury lawyer can guide you through the legal process, help you understand your rights, and take the necessary steps to secure the compensation you may deserve.

Taking these steps can make a significant difference in protecting your rights and strengthening your case after a serious injury in Boston. We offer free consultations and time is limited, so get started as soon as possible.

Boston Personal Injury FAQs

The deadline to file a personal injury claim in Massachusetts, known as the statute of limitations, is generally 3 years from the date of the injury. This means you have 3 years to initiate legal action for compensation. Failing to meet this deadline to file could result in losing your right to pursue a claim.

No, it’s generally not advisable to speak with the insurance adjuster on your own. In the aftermath of an accident, one of the most challenging issues is fielding calls from the other party’s insurance company. While they may sound friendly at first, remember that insurance companies aren’t your friend. Many will try to pay as little as possible or even escape liability entirely. Their goal is often to save money by paying less than you deserve.

Dealing with insurance companies is one of the biggest reasons to have an experienced Boston accident attorney on your side after an accident that wasn’t your fault. An attorney can handle communications with the insurance company and ensure you’re treated fairly, allowing you to focus on recovering from your injuries.

In Massachusetts, the comparative fault rule allows you to recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for an accident, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible. Under this rule, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are found to be 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover any damages. Strong legal representation can help you avoid undue blame for your own injuries.

Whether your personal injury qualifies for compensation depends on several factors, including the severity of your injury, who was at fault, and the type of damages you’ve suffered. Typically, if you were injured due to someone else’s negligence—such as in a car accident, slip and fall, or medical malpractice—you may be eligible to file a claim.

The timeline for settling a personal injury claim in Boston varies based on factors such as the severity of injuries, case complexity, and the insurance company’s willingness to negotiate.

While some cases may resolve in a few months, others can take a year or longer, particularly if a lawsuit is required. Consulting our attorneys can provide clarity on the potential timeline for your unique case and help ensure the process moves forward as efficiently as possible.

If your case goes to trial, we will help you prepare by gathering evidence, presenting your case before a judge or jury, and advocating for the maximum compensation you may deserve. While litigation can extend the process, we will be by your side every step of the way to pursue the best possible outcome.

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything upfront, and we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the final settlement or court award, allowing you to pursue the compensation you may deserve without financial risk.
