How Comparative Negligence Can Affect a Moped Crash Claim in Everett, MA

Comparative negligence can affect how much compensation a person may recover after a moped crash in Everett, MA. Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 231, § 85. An injured person may recover damages when their negligence is not greater than the combined negligence of the parties against whom recovery is sought. However, any damages awarded are reduced in proportion to the injured person’s percentage of fault.

For example, if a moped rider has $100,000 in damages and is found 20% responsible for a crash, the recoverable damages could be reduced to $80,000. If the rider is found more than 50% responsible, the rider generally cannot recover damages because their negligence would be greater than the combined negligence of the defendants. Massachusetts courts compare the plaintiff’s negligence with the total negligence of all defendants being sued.

Evidence such as crash reports, photographs, witness statements, traffic-camera footage, vehicle damage, and available moped records may help establish how fault should be divided. A person involved in an Everett moped accident should understand how comparative negligence could affect a potential personal injury claim before accepting a settlement or pursuing legal action.
