Under Massachusetts Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Laws, everyone is entitled to some compensation for medical bills after an
accident. Beyond that, or for cases involving damages, determining fault is an
important issue.
Even after many years of experience, our attorneys understand that every auto
accident case has a unique set of facts. We approach every case differently and
follow the evidence where it leads us. A thorough investigation can yield
information about the accident that you'd miss with a quick settlement.
Sometimes it's clear and simple to determine the fault of an auto accident.
If you were stopped at a stop sign, and another car rear-ended you, it's pretty
clear that you have no liability for the accident.
However, it can also be a
matter of degree, or requires some proof or interpretation of the events.
The
corporate lawyers for the insurance company expect your lawyer to use a cookie
cutter approach to the case. Among the many pieces of evidence we start with
are:
-
police reports
-
witness interviews
-
photographs at the scene,
-
photographs of the approaching streets,
-
photographs of the damaged vehicles
-
accident reconstruction
-
hiring a private investigator
-
medical records
In addition to getting the basic records and x-rays from your doctor, it is
sometimes helpful to get examined by a specialist to determine if you may
have suffered any long term injuries as a result of your accident.
