What Are Your Legal Rights After a Car Accident in Norwood, MA?

Getting hurt in a car crash gives you specific legal rights under Massachusetts law to get your medical bills paid, cover lost income, and seek compensation for your injuries.

Your own car insurance pays for your early medical treatment and lost wages through initial no-fault benefits, up to $8,000, no matter who caused the crash. This coverage helps pay for your care right away while you focus on healing.

If your injuries are more severe, you can take action against the driver who caused the crash. To seek compensation for pain and suffering, your medical bills must exceed $2,000, or you must have a specific injury like a broken bone or permanent harm.

Taking immediate steps to get checked by a doctor and obtain an official police crash report strengthens your claim. Gathering physical evidence, witness details, and medical records will help prove who was responsible for the accident.

You can still collect financial damages as long as you were not more than 50 percent to blame for the crash, though your payment is reduced by your share of fault. In Massachusetts, you generally have three years from the date of the accident to take legal action.
