Recovery for Pain & Suffering
Arising Out Of A Motor Vehicle Accident

In Massachusetts, if you're injured in a motor vehicle accident, you may recover compensation for pain and suffering and emotional distress only if the other party was at fault for your injuries and you incurred any one of the following:

• Reasonable and necessary medical bills over $2,000
• A fracture
• Permanent disfigurement such as a scar
• Loss of sight or hearing
• Loss of a body member
• The accident resulted in death.

Note: These are general statements of the law and the law can change. There are very specific and complex rules on who is entitled to what type of insurance benefits and what is and is not recoverable in motor vehicle accidents. You should always consult with an experienced attorney about your specific case.
