As a privately practicing attorney in Bolton, Massachusetts, Craig Korowski represents clients in a variety of civil and criminal cases. Craig Korowski draws on in-depth experience with personal injury law in Massachusetts.
If you become injured in the state of Massachusetts, you typically have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit of settle your case by obtaining and signing a release for a settlement amount. Exceptions to this rule occur when the injury itself does not become apparent until a significant amount of time has passed, in which case the plaintiff may file the lawsuit within three years from the date of discovery.
To win your case, you most often need to prove that the act was negligent. This means that one could reasonably have expected the defendant to prevent the accident and that the defendant failed to do so. Because Massachusetts is a comparative-fault state, the defendant's negligence must have contributed 50 percent or more to the accident.
