Comparative negligence can affect how much an injured person may recover after a multi-vehicle crash in Worcester, MA. Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 231, Section 85, a person can recover damages when their negligence is not greater than the combined negligence of the parties against whom they seek recovery. Any damages awarded are reduced according to the injured person’s percentage of fault.
In a multi-vehicle crash, fault may be divided among several drivers. For example, if an injured person is found to be 20% responsible and another driver or drivers are 80% responsible, the injured person’s damages may be reduced by 20%. Massachusetts law requires the injured person’s negligence to be compared with the total negligence of the parties from whom recovery is sought.
Evidence can be especially important when several vehicles are involved. Crash reports, photographs, vehicle damage, witness statements, traffic-camera footage, and other records may help establish how each driver contributed to the crash.
If an injured person’s negligence is greater than the combined negligence of the parties against whom recovery is sought, Section 85 can bar recovery. Understanding how fault may be allocated can therefore be important when evaluating a Worcester multi-vehicle crash claim.
