The state of Massachusetts has a three year statute of limitation on personal injury cases. This means that you have three years from the date of your injury to file a claim or you may lose your right to compensation. If your injury was caused by a government entity or worker the statute of limitations changes to two years from the date of the accident. In certain cases where an injury is not discovered at the time it occurred the statute of limitations "clock" begins at the time of discovery, or the date the injury should have reasonably been discovered.

Personal Injury Damages

There are two main types of damages that are available in a personal injury case, each seeks to compensate for a different loss associated with suffering an injury. These damages are called economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages compensate for financial losses such as the inability to work, loss of earning potential and medical expenses. Non-economic damages compensate for more abstract losses such as pain and suffering and mental anguish.

There is a third type of damages available in certain cases, called punitive damage. Punitive damages are generally only awarded when the negligent party knew their actions would cause harm but did so anyway, as such they are not often awarded.
