Our Cape Cod car accident lawyers fight for maximum compensation
Medical bills, lost wages, and property damage can quickly create financial strain after an accident. While insurance companies often aim to minimize payouts, Shaheen & Gordon fights to maximize your compensation.
Under state law, two main types of damages are recoverable in personal injury cases: Economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages
These tangible losses include:
- Medical bills, hospital stays, and rehabilitation
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage (e.g., car repairs)
- Out-of-pocket expenses, such as transportation to medical appointments
Non-economic damages
These damages address intangible losses, such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of companionship or quality of life
We work diligently to calculate and pursue every type of compensation you’re entitled to receive.
Understanding Massachusetts Car Accident Laws
Massachusetts operates under a no-fault system for car accidents. This means that your own insurance typically covers medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault. However, if your injuries meet the state’s serious injury threshold, you may file a lawsuit against the at-fault party to recover additional damages.
Serious injuries under Massachusetts law include:
- Significant disfigurement or scarring
- Broken bones
- Permanent disability
- Medical expenses exceeding $2,000
Shaheen & Gordon will evaluate your case to determine whether your injuries meet this threshold and guide you through the next steps.

Frequently asked questions about Cape Cod car accidents
How much time do I have to file a car accident lawsuit?
Massachusetts law sets a three-year statute of limitations for car accident claims. However, acting quickly helps preserve evidence and strengthens your case.
What if I’m partially at fault for the accident?
Under Massachusetts’ modified comparative negligence rule, you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
How much does it cost to hire Shaheen & Gordon?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. This ensures that quality legal representation is accessible to everyone.
When are you required to report a crash in Cape Cod?
In Cape Cod, you are required to report a crash if it involves injury, death, or property damage exceeding $1,000. You must file a crash report with the local police department, the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), and your insurance company within 5 days of the accident. Failing to do so could result in penalties.
