Massachusetts Car Accident Lawyers

Have Decades of Experience in Your Corner

The days and weeks following a serious automobile accident are especially difficult. As you begin recovering from your injuries and taking stock of your life, you may wonder where you can turn and what you can do. Bluntly, the insurance companies will not give you the information you need. These companies are only concerned with their bottom line at your expense. It is crucial to work with a lawyer and a law firm that will work quickly and effectively to help you get the compensation you need after a motor vehicle accident.

Who Is Liable After a Car Accident?

In accidents where only one driver is completely at fault, it is their car insurance that pays out any necessary damages. In cases where more than one driver bears responsibility for an accident, Massachusetts follows a "modified comparative fault" law. This law is found at Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 231 Section 85 and it states that when more than one person is at fault for an accident the court will determine two things. The first being the amount of compensation the injury victim will be awarded the second being the percentage of responsible both parties are responsible for.

In the end, the amount of fault the plaintiff is found to be responsible for will be reduced from their total compensation amount. For example, if an injury victim is found to be 10% at fault for the accident that led to their injuries their total compensation amount awarded to them will be reduced by 10%. This rule holds true in Massachusetts as long as the claimant is 50% or less responsible for an accident. If a claimant is more than 50% responsible, they are not eligible to pursue compensation.

Can I File A Car Accident Claim After Insurance Pays?

Most insurance companies include in their settlement offers that no additional compensation will be paid out after the initial settlement amount, so once you agree to a settlement it’s usually very difficult to recover anything further. If you have been offered a settlement, or if you have already signed one, contact Percy Law Group, PC today to talk about your case with our experienced firm.
