Report it
Call the police. In Massachusetts, file a crash report within 5 days if anyone was hurt or damage is over $1,000.
Common questions
Does this cost anything?
No. Using Harborline is free. Injury lawyers in Massachusetts and Rhode Island usually work on contingency, which means they are paid only if you recover money. Ask the firm to explain its fees before you sign anything.
Are you a law firm?
No. Harborline is an advertising service. We connect you with independent law firms that pay us for advertising. We do not give legal advice, and only a lawyer can tell you about your case.
What happens after I fill out the form?
Someone from Harborline calls or texts you, usually within minutes during business hours, to confirm a few details. If it looks like a fit, we connect you with an injury lawyer near you.
Who pays my medical bills after a crash in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, your own policy's Personal Injury Protection (PIP) generally covers up to $8,000 in medical bills and lost wages, no matter who caused the crash. Rhode Island works differently: usually the at-fault driver's insurance pays. A lawyer can explain how this applies to you.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Most injury claims in Massachusetts and Rhode Island must be filed within 3 years, and some have shorter deadlines (for example, claims against a city or the state). A lawyer can confirm your exact deadline.
What if the other driver drove off?
Your own policy may include uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Report the crash to police right away, see a doctor, and check your policy.
