Common questions about personal injury accidents in Cape Cod

How much does hiring a Cape Cod personal injury attorney cost?

At Shaheen & Gordon, there’s no upfront cost for our services. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay legal fees unless we win your case. This ensures you can access quality legal representation without worrying about financial strain. Let us handle the complexities of your case so you can focus on recovery.

What should I do immediately after an accident?

Seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.
Document the accident scene by taking photos, gathering contact information from witnesses, and obtaining the other party’s insurance and contact details.
If applicable, report the incident to local authorities. (In Massachusetts, filing an accident report with the Registry of Motor Vehicles is required for motor vehicle accidents involving injury, death, or property damage over $1,000).
Contact an experienced personal injury attorney at Shaheen & Gordon to discuss your case and protect your rights.

How much time do I have to file a personal injury claim?

In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is three years from the date of the accident. However, certain exceptions, such as claims involving minors or government entities, may alter this timeline. Consulting with an attorney as soon as possible ensures you meet all filing deadlines. Additionally, for some types of accidents, specific paperwork must be submitted promptly to preserve your rights and recover expenses.

What if I was partially at fault for my personal injury accident?

You can still recover damages! Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can recover damages as long as you are not more than 50% at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 30% at fault and the total damages are $100,000, you would receive $70,000.
