How does the process work:

In Massachusetts, in order to make a claim for personal injuries arising out of a car accident, you must show that the other party was at fault. This requires a complete understanding of the rules of the road.
In Massachusetts, in order to make a claim for personal injuries, you must have medical bills over $2,000.00, or a scar or disfigurement, or a fracture, or death.
Regardless of whose fault the accident was, the car that you were in will pay your medical bills.
If you do not have private health insurance, the insurance will pay $2,000.00, plus an additional $6,000.00, in medical bills, thus a total of $8,000.00, in medical bills.
If you have health insurance, the insurance carrier will pay the first $2,000.00, in medical bills. Your private health insurance will be responsible for the rest of your medical bills. Any outstanding balance that your private health insurance does not pay gets submitted to PIP. It is extremely important to keep a receipt of all of the co-pays you make, as those may have to be negotiated with the responsible party�s insurance carrier.
The insurance companies have a right to review your medical care as they are only required to pay your medical bills for �reasonable� care.

If you lost time from work because you have been in a car accident, you have a right to be compensated. You might be eligible for lost wages due to this injury. The insurance carrier of the car that you were in will pay 75% of your pre-tax wages. The other 25% will have to be negotiated with the responsible party�s insurance carrier.
