If you've been injured in Massachusetts, it's helpful to know something about the state laws that apply to accidents and personal injury claims. These laws may apply whether you decide to file a lawsuit in court or just pursue a settlement with an insurance company.
Filing Deadlines for Massachusetts Injury Lawsuits Massachusetts has its own deadline, or "statute of limitations," for filing a personal injury lawsuit in the state's civil court system after an accident. This law gives you three years to file a personal injury lawsuit in a Massachusetts court. For most cases, this three-year time limit starts to run on the date of the accident.
