As Seen On:
If you were hurt in a car accident caused by someone else, a Massachusetts car accident lawyer can help you understand your rights and go after what you are owed. Car crashes leave victims with serious injuries, missed work, and medical bills that pile up fast. At Larson Law Boston, we take a straightforward, client-first approach. We listen to what happened, review your case, and walk you through every step of the process so you never feel lost or left behind.
We take care of everything on the legal side. That means looking into the accident, collecting the right evidence, and dealing with the insurance company on your behalf. We fight for compensation that covers your medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and anything else the crash has cost you. Insurance companies in Massachusetts move fast after an accident, and they do not always play fair. Having a lawyer in your corner from the start makes a real difference in what you walk away with. There are no upfront fees, and we keep you updated the whole way through.
Car accidents happen in many different ways, and the cause can affect how a claim is handled. No matter how your crash happened, we have experience building cases for all types of car accidents across Massachusetts.
Car accidents cause a wide range of injuries, and not all of them show up right away. Some injuries feel minor at first and become serious within days. Getting medical attention immediately after a crash protects both your health and your legal claim.
Regardless of how serious your injury seems right now, it is worth getting checked out and speaking with a lawyer before making any decisions about your claim. Insurance companies move quickly after accidents. You should too.
A car accident affects more than just your vehicle. If you were hurt because of someone else’s carelessness, we handle the full claim from start to finish. That covers medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, wrongful death claims, and any other way the crash has changed your life.

You can deal with the insurance company on your own, but it puts you at a disadvantage right away. Adjusters are trained to settle claims for as little as possible. They often call quickly, before you have a clear picture of how serious your injuries are, and make an offer that sounds fine until the medical bills keep coming. When you have a lawyer involved, someone is watching out for your interests instead of theirs. That alone can change the outcome of your claim.
Massachusetts is a no-fault state. After a crash, your own insurance pays for your early medical costs and some lost wages, regardless of who was at fault. But you can go after the other driver for more if your medical bills pass $2,000 or if your injuries are serious, like a fracture, scarring, or lasting physical damage. Knowing when to step outside the no-fault system and how to do it correctly is where a lawyer earns their keep. Miss that step and you may walk away with far less than your case is worth.
Larson Law Boston works on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing upfront and owe no legal fees unless we win your case. If there is no recovery, you owe us nothing for our time. The fee comes out of your settlement as a percentage, and that is explained clearly before you sign anything. The arrangement means we only get paid when you do, so we are motivated to get you the best possible result.
First, get to safety and call 911. Get medical attention right away, even if you feel okay. Some injuries, like whiplash or soft tissue damage, take hours or days to show up. At the scene, take photos of both vehicles, the road, and any visible damage. Get the other driver’s insurance information and contact details. If there are witnesses, ask for their names and phone numbers. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with a lawyer. Write down everything you remember as soon as you can, while the details are still fresh.
No. You are not required to give a statement to the other driver’s insurance company, and doing so can hurt your claim. Insurance adjusters are skilled at asking questions in ways that can make your answers seem like an admission of fault, even when you did nothing wrong. Politely tell them you will have your attorney contact them. If you have already spoken to them, do not panic, but get legal advice before saying anything else.
You can claim medical bills, including future treatment if your injuries are ongoing. Lost wages cover income missed during recovery, and future lost earnings apply if the accident has affected your ability to work long term. Pain and suffering is part of most car accident claims, along with emotional distress, vehicle damage, and costs for physical therapy or home modifications if needed. Your attorney reviews everything the crash has cost you so nothing gets left out.
You have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Massachusetts. Miss that deadline and you lose the right to go to court for compensation. Some situations have shorter windows. Claims involving a government vehicle or a public road defect may require written notice much sooner. Starting early also helps because evidence disappears quickly. Witnesses move, memories fade, and traffic camera footage gets deleted. The sooner you get started, the stronger your case will be.
Massachusetts requires all drivers to carry uninsured motorist coverage. If the other driver has no insurance at all, that coverage through your own policy steps in. If they have insurance but not enough to cover your losses, underinsured motorist coverage can help fill the gap. Even your own insurance company may push back on these claims. A lawyer can identify all the coverage that applies to your situation and make sure you are not walking away with less than you are owed.
You can still recover compensation in Massachusetts even if you played some role in the crash. The state follows a comparative fault rule. As long as you were not more than 50% responsible, you can still make a claim. Your payout is reduced by your share of the fault. So if you were 20% at fault and your total damages come to $100,000, you would recover $80,000. Insurance companies often try to inflate your share of the blame to reduce what they pay out. A lawyer helps make sure the fault split reflects what actually happened.
It depends on the case. Minor crashes with clear fault and limited injuries can settle in a few months. More serious cases, especially those where treatment is still ongoing, often take a year or longer. Settling too quickly can leave you short if your injuries end up costing more than expected down the line. Waiting until you have a full picture of your medical situation usually leads to a better result. Your lawyer handles deadlines and keeps things moving so you are not stuck chasing the process yourself.
Once you sign a release and accept a settlement, it is very hard to reopen the claim. This is one of the main reasons it pays to get legal advice before agreeing to anything. If you have not signed yet, even if you verbally agreed to an amount, talk to a lawyer right away. There may still be time to reassess what your case is worth. If you have already signed, a lawyer can review whether anything irregular happened during the process that could affect your options.
