  • Speeding

Understanding Your Options

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, you have the option to seek compensation through a third-party liability claim or lawsuit against the at-fault driver and vehicle owner. This can help cover expenses like medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other damages incurred as a result of the accident.

Even if you think you might be considered the at-fault driver, you could still be eligible for reimbursement of specific accident-related costs. Massachusetts is a “no-fault” state for car accidents. This means that if you have personal injury protection (PIP) included in your insurance policy, it can cover a portion of your medical bills and lost wages, regardless of who is at fault for the accident.

In some instances, determining fault in a car accident is unclear, or both parties may have contributed to the incident. In these cases, Silva Santos PC is still a smart decision. We thoroughly investigate accidents and pursue compensation under Massachusetts’s “modified comparative negligence” system. This means that you can seek compensation if you are found to be up to 50% at fault, although your compensation will be proportionally reduced by your degree of fault. For instance, if your damages are valued at $100,000 and you are deemed 40% at fault, your recovery would be $60,000. However, if your percentage of fault is 51% or more, you will not be entitled to recover any compensation.
