The Massachusetts Governors’ Highway Safety Bureau reported 3,790 crashes that caused injuries or death in 2001. There were 477 fatalities which include pedestrians and cyclists. Accident victims and the families of those lost in vehicle accidents face a devastating situation that is further complicated by the complex Massachusetts insurance laws and legal issues. If you have been injured in an accident or are the survivor of someone who has died as a result of a traffic fatality, you need the help of qualified auto accident attorney. Insurance companies may be eager to resolve your claim, but it is not always in your best interests to discuss compensation until you confer with a lawyer.

Recoverable damages associated with car crashes vary from state to state. Massachusetts automobile accident victims and survivors may sue for damages from the operator(s) of the other motor vehicle(s) involved when one of the following criteria is met:

• The victim has died,

• The victim suffers a permanent and serious disfigurement,

• A bone is fractured,

• The loss of one of the “senses” such as sight, taste, hearing or smell,

• A limb has been lost,

• Medical expenses equal or exceed $2,000 (that amount is generally covered by Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policies required by law.

If the person responsible for your injuries does not have insurance coverage or their coverage does not sufficiently provide for your damages, you may be entitled to collect uninsurance or underinsurance.
