Boston personal injury settlements operate under Massachusetts' no-fault auto regime, modified-51 comparative fault, and the long-standing slip-and-fall claim base driven by New England winters.
Boston personal injury practice operates within Massachusetts's no-fault auto framework. PIP first-party benefits cover up to $8,000 in medical expenses and a portion of wage loss; tort recovery is gated by the "serious injury" threshold under M.G.L. c. 231, § 6D — either a $2,000 medical-expense threshold or specific injury categories (death, fracture, permanent disfigurement, permanent or substantial loss of body function).
Massachusetts applies modified-comparative fault with a 51% bar (M.G.L. c. 231, § 85) and a 3-year limitation on negligence (c. 260, § 2A). Suffolk and Middlesex County Superior Courts handle the bulk of metro filings; both jury pools skew moderate, with verdicts tracking northeastern norms.
The Boston metro's seasonal claim profile is distinctive: slip-and-fall on snow and ice generates a high volume of winter filings, and the duty owed by property owners under the post-2010 Papadopoulos v. Target framework (which abolished the natural-accumulation rule) materially affects expected outcomes.
