What Causes Brain Injuries in Massachusetts

Traumatic brain injuries result from a blow, jolt, or penetrating impact that disrupts normal brain function. In Massachusetts, common causes include car accidents, bicycle and pedestrian collisions, falls, and workplace incidents. Winter conditions add another layer of risk: falls on ice- and snow-covered surfaces are a recognized source of serious head injury in this state. Even a lower-speed crash can cause a TBI when the head strikes a surface or the brain moves sharply inside the skull.

We represent clients across all of these accident types, holding drivers, property owners, and employers accountable depending on how the injury occurred. Our attorneys stay current on evolving rideshare liability law and pursue claims against rideshare companies and their drivers when negligence is involved.

Massachusetts Law & Brain Injury Claims

Two legal rules shape most brain injury cases in Massachusetts. Understanding both early helps preserve your options and sets realistic expectations for the claim.

Statute of Limitations

Under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 260, Section 2A, personal injury lawsuits generally must be filed within three years of the injury date. Missing that window can foreclose the claim. Exceptions exist, but they’re narrow and fact-specific, which is why acting early matters.

No-Fault Auto Insurance Threshold

Massachusetts operates under a no-fault auto insurance system. Under Chapter 231, Section 6D, an injured person generally must show medical expenses exceeding $2,000 or a qualifying serious injury before pursuing a pain-and-suffering claim against an at-fault driver. Because traumatic brain injuries often involve permanent or significant impairment, they may qualify under the serious-injury exception regardless of the expense threshold. Whether a specific injury meets that standard depends on the medical facts and how the injury is documented.

Comparative Negligence

If you share some responsibility for the accident, your recovery may be reduced proportionally under Massachusetts’ comparative negligence rules. We evaluate these factors early so clients understand what the claim realistically looks like before committing to litigation.

Start Your Brain Injury Case with a Free Consultation

We handle brain injury claims on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless there is a recovery on your case. That structure removes the financial barrier to getting qualified legal help during what is often the most disruptive period of a family’s life. Our team can review your situation, explain your options under Massachusetts law, and move forward if we believe there’s a viable path to recovery.
