How Does Massachusetts Handle Claims When Several People Are Injured in One Crash?

A crash that involves several vehicles can make it harder to determine who is responsible for each person's injuries. Massachusetts law allows an injured person to recover damages when their own fault is not greater than the combined fault of the other parties. If the injured person is partly responsible, their compensation can be reduced based on their share of the fault. 

This can become important when several drivers may have contributed to the same collision. For example, one driver may have caused the first impact while another driver's actions contributed to a later collision. Each person's actions may need to be examined separately. Evidence such as the police report, photographs, vehicle damage, witness statements, and available traffic or security footage can help show how the crashes happened.

When multiple people are injured, their claims are also based on their own injuries and losses. One person may have hospital bills and time away from work, while another may have different medical needs. The fact that several people were hurt does not mean every claim will have the same value. 

The number of people involved can also create questions about which insurance policies may apply. Reviewing the vehicles involved, their drivers, and the available insurance information can help identify the parties that may be responsible for an injury claim. 

A car accident lawyer can sort through these cases and explain how Massachusetts' fault rules may affect each individual claim. Massachusetts generally gives three years to bring a personal injury lawsuit. While three years may look like a lot of time, some evidence, like surveillance footage, needs to be gathered early before it disappears, and a lawyer can help make sure it is preserved.
