Common Personal Injuries in MA

In Massachusetts, personal injury cases involve situations where one party has been injured by the negligent or reckless acts of another party. While they are among the most common types of legal actions filed in the state of Massachusetts, such cases are not always easily won by the injured party.  Proving that an injury is the direct result of negligence requires the skills of an experienced MA injury attorney who understands the law of personal injury in MA.

MA personal injuries

In order to prove negligence in an injury case, the plaintiff or injured party must prove that:

  • The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care. Defendants owe such a duty to someone whose injury is a predictable consequence of their actions, and the injury could have been prevented by the defendant.
  • The defendant, by action or inaction, caused the plaintiff’s injury in Massachusetts.
