How Much Can I Receive in Compensation if My Accident Was Caused by Someone Else?
A Boston car accident lawyer will help you thoroughly review and understand that there are many aspects of an accident that are taken into consideration when you are seeking to find compensation for property damage, lost wages or hospital and medical expenses.
This covers car damage, valuables inside your vehicle, immediate medical bills for your injuries, future medical costs, future physical therapy sessions, a substitute for income you missed when you were injured, and a sum for your pain and trauma.
Not all of these will apply to all cases, but it's a great foundation to consider how much you'll be looking for with the support of a car accident attorney. Don't let your car accident claim fall by the wayside!
Massachusetts has Comparative Negligence Jurisdiction
Massachusetts is a comparative negligence jurisdiction, which means that the negligence of the parties to an accident is compared when determining liability. A client that is partially at fault can still recover damage (but not more than 50 percent at fault), but the percentage of fault would reduce their damage.
Accident victims can recover varying amount of compensation, depending on their case and the specifics of their accident scene. Contact an auto accident attorney about your auto accident injury case at 617-225-2100.
How Long Does It Take to Settle My Case or Will I File a Lawsuit?
As a general rule, you have three years from the date of your car crash to either settle your case or file a claim in court to begin the legal process (because every rule has exceptions). You lose the legal right, in most cases, to pursue the person who was at fault for the accident that caused the injury and damages if you neglect to do so before this three-year deadline (which is called the Statute of Limitations).
Three-years can seem like a very long time, but in reality it is not, and before you know it, the statute of limitations can prevent you from obtaining the proper justice and compensation that you deserve.
Although some injuries aren’t always recognized or as bothersome immediately following the accident, time is of the essence, which is why having an experienced, skilled Boston car accident attorney on your side is extremely important.
