Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury In Lowell
After an injury, the questions come fast and the answers are not always clear. Here are honest answers to some of the things we hear most often from people in the Lowell community.
Do most personal injury cases settle, or do they go to trial?
Most personal injury cases reach a settlement before going to trial. We treat every case as if it will go to trial, because we follow the facts wherever they lead.
Insurance companies push for quick settlements because they want to close your claim before you discover the full extent of your injuries and financial losses. When an offer does not reflect the full harm you suffered, we stand ready to take your case before a judge or jury to pursue the accountability you deserve.
Will my prior injuries or preexisting conditions hurt my case?
Not necessarily. A preexisting condition does not prevent you from pursuing a personal injury claim. Massachusetts law holds that a negligent party cannot escape responsibility simply because a prior condition made your injuries worse.
Massachusetts follows the ‘eggshell plaintiff’ rule, which means the at-fault party must take you as they find you. If your preexisting condition made you more vulnerable to injury, they remain fully responsible for all resulting harm. We work to document exactly how your health changed and connect those changes to what happened.
What if the insurance company makes a quick settlement offer, should I accept?
No. You should not accept any offer before you fully understand what your injuries mean for your health, your work and your daily life.
Insurance adjusters move fast after a collision. A quick offer may seem reasonable, but it often does not account for long-term effects. Once you accept a settlement and sign a release, you cannot reopen your claim or seek additional compensation, even if your injuries worsen later.
You should wait until you reach maximum medical improvement, the point where your doctors say your condition has stabilized, before you evaluate any settlement offer, so you know the true cost of your injuries. Taking time to understand the full picture before signing anything protects your right to a fair outcome.
