What Is the Deadline to File a Road Injury Claim in Andover, MA?

In Massachusetts, a person generally has three years to file a personal injury lawsuit after being injured in a road crash. Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 260, Section 2A requires most tort actions involving personal injuries to be commenced within three years after the cause of action accrues.

For someone injured on a road in Andover, this deadline can apply to claims involving medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses connected to the injuries. Evidence such as medical records, photographs, witness statements, vehicle damage, and available video may help establish what happened and document the resulting losses.

Massachusetts also applies comparative negligence rules in personal injury cases. If an injured person's own negligence contributed to the harm, the amount recoverable can be affected by that person's share of negligence under Massachusetts law.

The three-year period is a general rule, and exceptions or different deadlines may apply to certain claims. Claims involving government entities, wrongful death, or other circumstances can be subject to separate requirements. Reviewing the applicable deadline early can help preserve a potential claim.

Objective proof, such as vehicle damage, recorded data, and independent witness accounts, can answer those questions with facts instead of memory. A car accident lawyer can also help victims identify what is worth gathering and what an insurer may later ask for.
