How Is Fault Determined After a Car Accident in Lynn, MA?

Fault after a multi-vehicle crash in Lynn is determined by looking at what each driver did before the collisions. More than one driver may share responsibility when several vehicles are involved, depending on how each person contributed to the sequence.

When the sequence is disputed, police reports, photographs, witness accounts, available video, vehicle damage, and timing can help show where each vehicle was and how the separate collisions happened. These details may clarify which drivers contributed to the crash.

While fault is still being determined, Massachusetts Personal Injury Protection can pay certain medical expenses and part of lost wages regardless of who caused the crash. PIP generally provides up to $8,000 in covered benefits after a collision.

After PIP applies, an injured person may seek compensation from a driver who was legally responsible. Depending on the circumstances, this may include uncovered medical costs, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and future treatment costs.

Because Massachusetts uses comparative negligence, your compensation can be reduced if you share responsibility. Being found 20% at fault reduces an award by 20%. You cannot recover if your share of fault is greater than 50%.

If an insurer makes an early settlement offer, accepting it usually ends your claim against that insurer. A signed release can prevent you from seeking additional payment later, even if more treatment or expenses arise after the settlement.

When several drivers or insurers are involved, a car accident lawyer in Massachusetts can review the evidence and help determine how fault should be divided. An attorney can also determine which policies may apply, handle insurer communications, and review a settlement offer before you accept it.
