What Constitutes a PI Case in Gloucester, MA?

Personal Injuries appear in many cases, but some things that remain constant in all injury claims in Massachusetts

Whether you have been in a car accident, bitten by a dog, or the victim of medical malpractice in Gloucester, it is essential for you to understand your rights and how personal injury claims work.

Common Elements of a Personal Injury Claim in Massachusetts

In almost every Personal Injury claim, the injured individual must be able to establish four elements to win their case in Gloucester. The 4 elements that the party bringing the suit (the plaintiff) must establish to succeed are: (1) the party that caused the accident (the defendant) behaved negligently, (2) that negligence caused the accident, (3) that the defendant's conduct caused the injury, and (4) that your lawsuit has been brought before the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

It is necessary that you do not sit on your rights, and delay the filing of your case. In Massachusetts, you must file your case within a specific amount of time, before the statute of limitations runs out. If you fail to do this, you could lose any chance at recovery that you may once have had.

Life in Gloucester

Gloucester, Massachusetts is a city located on Cape Ann, in Essex County. According to a 2007 Census estimate, its population is approximately 30,000 people. The area now known as Gloucester was first reached by British settlers in the 1620s. The town of Gloucester was so named in the 1640s (or that's when the first known written reference to the name exists) from a town of the same name en England. The town, thanks to its once-abundant supply of lumber, and its proximity to the ocean, used to be an important shipbuilding center. Though this industry has largely moved elsewhere, it is still an important part of the town's history and culture. It was also once a very important center for commercial fishing, and fishing is still an important component of the local economy. The architecture of Gloucester is quite beautiful, with many sections of the town comprised almost entirely of 100+ year old buildings, giving it the idyllic look distinctive to New England.
