After a car accident in Waltham, insurance claims are typically handled through the state’s “no-fault” insurance system. This means that injured parties generally first turn to their own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage for compensation, regardless of who was responsible for the accident. 

PIP coverage is designed to help cover medical expenses, a portion of lost wages if injuries prevent working, and certain replacement services needed due to the impact of the crash.

If injuries are serious enough to meet Massachusetts’ legal threshold, an injured person may pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for additional compensation. In those cases, it may be possible to recover damages for pain and suffering, which are not included under standard PIP benefits. 

Depending on the insurance policy, other forms of coverage such as Medical Payments (MedPay) or uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may also provide additional financial support, particularly if expenses exceed available limits or another driver does not have sufficient insurance.

The claims process usually begins with promptly notifying the insurance company and providing documentation such as medical records, treatment details, and proof of lost income. Insurance adjusters will review the claim, evaluate the evidence, and determine compensation based on policy terms and the specifics of the accident. 

Keeping thorough records and reporting the incident as soon as possible can help ensure the process moves forward without unnecessary delays.
