Why Fault Ultimately Shapes the Outcome of Every Car Crash Claim
Massachusetts drivers enter a car crash claim under a system that can seem somewhat contradictory: no-fault insurance covers certain initial losses, while responsibility still becomes crucial when an injured person seeks compensation beyond those benefits. State law also applies modified comparative negligence, so a person's share of blame can affect what they may recover and can bar recovery when their fault exceeds the legal threshold. That makes the details surrounding a collision more than background information.
