How Comparative Negligence Can Affect a Two-Vehicle Crash Claim in Eastham, MA

Comparative negligence can affect how much compensation a person may recover after a two-vehicle crash in Eastham, MA. Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 231, § 85. An injured person may recover damages when their negligence is not greater than the total negligence of the defendant or defendants. Any damages awarded are reduced in proportion to the injured person’s percentage of fault.

For example, if a driver has $100,000 in damages and is found 20% responsible for a two-vehicle crash, the recoverable damages could be reduced to $80,000. If the driver is found more than 50% responsible, recovery is generally barred because the driver’s negligence would be greater than the combined negligence of the defendant. In a two-vehicle case, the plaintiff’s negligence is compared with the defendant’s negligence.

Evidence such as crash reports, photographs, witness statements, traffic-camera footage, vehicle damage, and roadway conditions may help establish how fault should be divided. A person involved in an Eastham crash should understand how comparative negligence could affect a potential personal injury claim before accepting a settlement or pursuing legal action.
