How Do Car Accident Claims Work in Braintree, MA?

Car accident claims in Braintree generally begin by requesting benefits from the insurance policies that apply after a collision in Massachusetts. You may receive no-fault benefits through your own insurer and seek additional compensation from a driver who caused the crash.

Early in the process, you should notify your insurance company and meet its filing requirements. Massachusetts personal injury protection coverage may pay certain medical expenses and lost income without an initial determination of who caused the collision.

To evaluate fault, insurers may examine driver statements, crash reports, photographs, video, vehicle damage, and accounts from people who observed the collision. This information can clarify each vehicle’s movements and reveal whether a driver violated a traffic law.

As the claim progresses, compensation may cover medical expenses, lost earnings, vehicle repairs, and other qualifying losses. Payments you receive through PIP or health insurance can affect the amount that remains available from the responsible driver’s liability coverage.

For pain-and-suffering compensation, Massachusetts generally requires more than $2,000 in reasonable medical expenses or a qualifying injury. Qualifying injuries include fractures, serious disfigurement, substantial vision or hearing loss, and death. Your medical circumstances determine whether this requirement is met.

Under Massachusetts’ comparative-negligence rule, you may recover compensation when your share of fault is not greater than the combined share assigned to the parties you pursue. However, your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

If a dispute arises, a Massachusetts car accident lawyer can review the available insurance coverage and calculate your unpaid losses. An attorney can also negotiate with insurers, challenge an unfair settlement offer, and explain whether filing a lawsuit may be appropriate.
