What Is the Deadline to File a Crash Claim in Newton, MA?

In Massachusetts, the general deadline for filing a personal injury claim after a crash is three years from when the cause of action accrues. Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 260, Section 2A establishes this three-year limitations period for most personal injury tort actions.

For someone injured in Newton, this deadline can apply to claims involving medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses connected to the crash. When multiple vehicles are involved, determining how the crash occurred and which parties may be responsible can require evidence from several drivers and witnesses.

Massachusetts also uses comparative negligence when determining damages. Under Chapter 231, Section 85, a person's damages may be reduced based on their share of negligence. The statute compares the injured person's negligence with the combined negligence of the parties against whom recovery is sought.

Evidence such as photographs, medical records, witness statements, vehicle damage, and available video can help establish what happened. Because exceptions or different deadlines may apply to certain claims, including claims involving government entities or wrongful death, the specific circumstances should be reviewed before assuming the standard three-year period applies.

When questions arise about those losses or a potential claim, a car accident lawyer can review medical records, expenses, employment documentation, insurance information, and other evidence to explain what legal options may apply.
