Do You Have Grounds For An Injury Claim?

Here’s what you generally need to show to prevail in different types of claims:

  • No-fault claims: In Massachusetts, the no-fault system for motor vehicle accidents means you can seek compensation from your own insurance just by showing you suffered harm, you don’t need to prove anyone was to blame.
  • Negligence claims: For these claims, you need to demonstrate that another party owed you a duty, fell short of this duty and, through this, caused you harm. Many types of personal injury claims, such as slips and falls and medical malpractice, are negligence cases.
  • Intentional tort claims: In these claims, you need to prove that the other party committed an intentional action that harmed you. Assault/battery claims fall under this category.
  • Strict liability claims: These claims do not require proving misconduct or intent on the other party’s part, you just need to show a certain thing happened. Common types of strict liability claims include those involving dangerous products and, in Massachusetts, dog bites.

Our injury attorneys can help you determine which of these standards your case would involve and guide you on whether you have strong grounds for a claim.

What Damages Could You Seek?

In personal injury claims, you may be able to pursue a range of damages, including:

  • Physical/economic damages: For medical expenses, lost wages and other injured-related  financial losses
  • Noneconomic damages: For hardships such as pain and suffering and emotional distress
  • Punitive damages: As punishment for particularly extreme misconduct (note: these damages are only available in very limited types of cases)

At every step, our team of attorneys will work tirelessly toward seeking the full financial compensation you deserve.
