How Long Do I Have to File a Car Accident Claim in Weymouth, MA?

In Massachusetts, you generally have three years from the date of a car accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Some circumstances can affect that deadline, so the amount of time available may depend on the facts of your case.

If the injured person is a minor or cannot manage their legal affairs, different rules may affect the filing period. These situations can change how the normal deadline applies.

Claims involving a government vehicle or public employee may follow a different process. You may need to give written notice to the proper public agency before filing a lawsuit, and that notice deadline may come sooner.

As medical bills and other expenses build, compensation may include medical costs, lost income, vehicle damage, pain and suffering, and other losses connected to your injuries. What may be available depends on the losses you can prove and the insurance coverage involved.

To document those losses, keep medical records, bills, repair estimates, photographs, wage records, and insurance letters. These materials can show your expenses, missed income, treatment, and other effects of the collision.

If you share responsibility for the crash, Massachusetts’ comparative negligence rule may reduce your compensation based on your percentage of fault. You generally cannot recover if your share of fault is greater than the combined fault of the parties you are seeking compensation from.

A car accident lawyer in Brockton can help determine which filing deadline applies to your situation and whether a different rule changes the time available. An attorney can also prepare the required paperwork and make sure it is filed within the proper time.
