Local context

Legal landscape in Massachusetts

Massachusetts is a no-fault auto state. PIP benefits are usually the first source of compensation, and a threshold may limit your ability to sue another driver. Comparative fault still matters once a lawsuit is allowed.

Many injury claims fall under a three-year statute of limitations. Medical malpractice and claims against government entities may follow different rules. Verify the applicable deadline with a Massachusetts lawyer.
