Massachusetts Statute of Limitations Massachusetts Accident Form
Massachusetts follows a “no-fault” car insurance law, no matter who’s fault it was that caused the incident it must use your personal injury protection insurance coverage if you need to be compensated for medical or any other financial losses. To get out of the no fault situation, you must exceed your personal injury protection limits to bring the other driver into at-fault. The statutes states that a person has three years to file for personal injury caused by another person from the date of the accident. The timeline is the same for someone needing compensation for vehicle damage. You can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the person who caused the accident within three years. That time starts at the time of the victim’s death, not the time of the accident. The state follows a “modified comparative fault”, which is for a situation that more than one person is partially, or completely at fault for the accident. Since you can recover against any party that was more at-fault than you for personal injury lawsuit, your damages will be reduced by a percentage that goes along with your share of liability.
