Pursuing Compensation for an Accident

Someone who is suffering from serious injuries after an accident usually has the right to hold those responsible for causing it legally liable. The damages typically available in these situations include money for hospital and other medical bills, missed wages due to time off from the job, and property damage. Victims also may be able to receive compensation for pain and suffering and emotional distress, which are more subjective types of damages.

For example, Massachusetts law generally requires drivers of cars and trucks to operate their vehicles in a reasonably safe manner. Among other things, this means maintaining appropriate speeds under the conditions, obeying traffic signs, and avoiding hazardous behavior like drinking and driving or texting behind the wheel. A driver who does not live up to this “duty of care” is likely to be found negligent and deemed liable for any accidents and injuries that result. If the driver is working at the time of the collision, his or her employer may also be on the hook for damages.

Careless property owners also may be responsible for accidents that result from the inadequate maintenance of their premises. These slip and fall cases usually require showing that there was a dangerous condition on the property of which the owner or occupier knew or should have known, and that the victim was hurt because the owner or occupier failed to repair the condition or provide sufficient warnings.

In yet another situation, doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals may be held liable for malpractice when a patient suffers injuries because of their inadequate care. A professional standard of care applies in these cases, and expert witness testimony from a medical professional in the same or a related specialty usually is required to show what the defendant did wrong and how the malpractice led to the patient’s injuries.
