How Massachusetts Law Applies to Tewksbury Personal Injury Cases
Filing Deadlines
Massachusetts has a three-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. That typically means you have three years from the date of your injury to pursue compensation.
Certain circumstances can shorten or extend this filing window. For example:
- Delayed discovery: If you didn’t reasonably discover your injury or its cause until a later time, the three-year clock may start running on the date of discovery.
- Injured minor: If you were injured when you were under 18, you have the right to file a lawsuit until your 21st birthday.
- Out-of-state defendant: If the at-fault party left Massachusetts after causing your injury, the clock stops running until they return to the commonwealth.
Negligence Laws
Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence system when the injured party’s own negligence contributed to their injury. Under this law, you can seek compensation as long as you were less than 51% at fault for the incident.
Your final recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages equal $100,000, you may recover $80,000.

Understanding the Personal Injury Claims Process in Tewksbury
While each personal injury claim unfolds differently, they typically involve these general steps:
- Initial consultation: We’ll begin by listening to your story, explaining your options, and answering your questions.
- Investigation: Our team will launch a thorough investigation to uncover what happened and who’s at fault. We’ll gather medical records, photographs, video footage, witness statements, expert testimony, and other evidence to support your claim. We’ll also assess the full extent of your damages and help determine the level of compensation you’re entitled to. This step may take several weeks or months, depending on the complexity of your case.
- Filing the claim: Once we have the information we need, we’ll file a formal claim against the at-fault party.
- Negotiation: Our personal injury lawyers will communicate with the insurer on your behalf and work toward a fair settlement that accounts for all of your damages. Negotiations can take time, and we will consult with you before agreeing to any offer.
- Settlement or trial: If the insurer makes a favorable offer, we’ll finalize the settlement. If it refuses to pay what you deserve, we may take your case to trial. Going to trial adds significant time to the process, but we’ll handle the details and involve you only in critical decisions or testifying in court.
Types of Compensation Available in Tewksbury Personal Injury Cases
You can seek compensation for the full extent of how your injury has impacted you, which may include various types of economic and non-economic damages:
- Economic damages: These cover the financial impact of your injuries. Common examples include medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and disability-related home or vehicle modifications.
- Non-economic damages: These address the ways your injury has affected your well-being. Depending on your case, your non-economic damages may include physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, and the loss of activities that once brought fulfillment.
We understand you’re likely facing many challenges after a serious injury. We don’t want cost to be a barrier to quality representation, which is why our firm works on a contingency fee basis. Our fee is a percentage of the total compensation we recover for you—you keep the majority of your damages, and we only get paid when you do.
