What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Two-Vehicle Crash in Norwood, MA?

People injured in a two-vehicle crash in Norwood, MA, generally have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 260, § 2A. The Massachusetts statute of limitations applies to tort and personal injury actions and generally requires a lawsuit to be commenced within three years after the cause of action accrues.

This deadline can apply to claims involving medical expenses, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses connected to a motor vehicle crash. Waiting too long to take legal action can result in a claim being barred, although certain circumstances may affect when the deadline applies or whether an exception is available. Massachusetts courts recognize that factors such as tolling and the specific nature of a claim can affect limitation periods.

After a Norwood car accident, injured people should preserve crash reports, medical records, photographs, insurance information, witness statements, repair records, and other evidence related to the collision. Understanding the Massachusetts personal injury statute of limitations early can help ensure that a potential claim is evaluated before the applicable deadline expires.

A car accident lawyer can help review the available materials and explain potential legal and insurance options. An attorney may also identify additional documentation that could be relevant to a potential claim and explain how the claims process may work.
