At Earley Law Group Injury Lawyers, we have 25 years of combined experience helping injured people pursue compensation after accidents in Massachusetts.
If another driver caused your injuries, our Revere car accident lawyers can take over the legal side of your claim and deal with the insurer on your behalf. We build the case around what the crash has actually cost you, including how your injuries have affected your health, work, and daily life.
When you need a Revere personal injury lawyer, contact us for a free consultation to discuss your accident and your options.
What Should You Do After a Car Accident?
Get to a safe location when possible, call 911, and seek medical attention if you are injured. If your condition allows, photograph the vehicles, roadway, traffic signals, visible injuries, and other details that may help establish how the crash occurred.
Report the collision to your auto insurer as required, but use care when discussing your injuries with an insurance adjuster. You may not yet know the full extent of your condition, particularly if symptoms develop or worsen in the days following the crash.
Keep copies of medical records, bills, wage information, repair documents, and correspondence related to the collision. If you need help finding appropriate medical resources, Earley Law Group can help connect you with providers.
How Can a Revere Car Accident Lawyer Help With Your Claim?
Insurance companies investigate claims with their own financial interests in mind. As your Revere car accident attorneys, we conduct our own review and build the evidence needed to support your position.
We may examine police reports, photographs, witness accounts, medical records, available video footage, vehicle damage, and other evidence. We also document your lost income, treatment, physical limitations, and the ways your injuries have affected your daily life.
We Handle Insurance Communications
Adjusters may question who caused the collision, dispute whether treatment was necessary, point to gaps in medical care, or offer a settlement before your prognosis is clear. We deal directly with insurers and evaluate settlement offers based on the evidence and losses involved.
We Keep You Informed
You should not have to wonder what is happening with your claim. We place a strong emphasis on communication, explain what comes next, and give you direct answers about the strengths and challenges of your case.
What Compensation Can You Seek After a Revere Car Accident?
The value of an injury claim depends on the severity of your injuries, your financial losses, how the accident has affected your life, available insurance coverage, and other facts specific to your case.
Depending on the circumstances, compensation may include:
- Medical expenses and rehabilitation costs.
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering, when allowed under Massachusetts law.
- Future medical care related to your injuries.
- Property damage and accident-related expenses.
- Compensation for long-term physical limitations.
We work to understand the full impact of the collision rather than focusing only on your initial medical bills. Your lawyer should be able to show the insurer how an injury has affected your work, health, independence, and daily activities.
How Does Massachusetts No-Fault Car Insurance Work?
Massachusetts uses a no-fault insurance system for Personal Injury Protection, commonly called PIP. PIP generally provides up to $8,000 per person for covered losses, including qualifying medical expenses and a portion of lost earnings, regardless of who caused the accident. Coordination with health insurance can affect how medical bills are paid.
PIP does not prevent every injured person from pursuing the at-fault driver. Massachusetts law allows recovery for pain and suffering when reasonable and necessary medical expenses exceed $2,000 or when an injury falls within certain statutory categories, including fractures, death, or permanent and serious disfigurement.
These insurance rules can affect how bills are processed and how a bodily injury claim is presented. We review the available policies and explain which sources of coverage may apply to you.
What If You Were Partly at Fault for the Crash?
Being accused of contributing to an accident does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation.
Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You may recover damages if your share of negligence is not greater than the combined negligence of the parties you are seeking recovery from. Any award is reduced according to your percentage of fault.
For example, an insurer may argue that you were speeding even though another driver caused the collision by turning directly into your path. We examine the evidence rather than accepting the insurer’s version of events.
What Injuries Can Lead to a Car Accident Claim?
We represent people suffering from injuries ranging from painful strains to conditions that require surgery or extended rehabilitation.
Head, Neck, and Back Injuries
Whiplash, concussions, herniated discs, and other neck or back injuries may interfere with work, sleep, driving, and ordinary activities. Some symptoms may not become fully apparent immediately after a collision.
Broken Bones and Joint Injuries
Fractures and injuries involving the shoulders, knees, hips, or other joints can require immobilization, surgery, physical therapy, or time away from work.
Aggravation of a Prior Condition
A pre-existing condition does not automatically defeat an injury claim. If a collision worsened an existing injury or condition, you may be able to seek compensation for the additional harm caused by the crash.
How Long Do You Have to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts generally gives you three years from the date a personal injury claim accrues to file a lawsuit, although exceptions can change the applicable deadline.
Waiting can create other problems long before the filing period expires. Surveillance video may be erased, vehicles may be repaired, and witnesses may become harder to locate.
Contacting our car accident lawyers in Revere early can give our legal team more opportunity to preserve useful evidence.
