How we help
- Crosswalk and intersection collisions
- Hit-and-run (including your own UM coverage)
- Parking-lot and backing accidents
- Claims involving MBTA and city vehicles
What Massachusetts law says
If you were hit by a car, your own auto policy's PIP — or a household member's — usually pays first, even though you were on foot. Claims involving a city or the MBTA have special notice rules (M.G.L. c. 258), with a written presentment required within two years.
What to do now
- Get medical care, and follow your treatment plan.
- Keep photos, records, receipts and the names of witnesses.
- Don't give a recorded statement to the other side's insurer.
- Talk to a lawyer before signing anything — the consultation is free.
Frequently asked questions
I don't own a car — who pays my PIP?
Often the policy on the vehicle that hit you, or a household member's policy. We sort it out.
The driver drove off. Can I still recover?
Often yes, through uninsured-motorist coverage.
What if I wasn't in a crosswalk?
You may still recover under comparative negligence. Every case is different.
