After an Accident in New Bedford

If you were injured in a car accident in New Bedford, call 911 and seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor.

Document the scene with photographs, exchange information with the other driver, and gather contact information from any witnesses. Then call Attorney Jeffrey C. Lavey before speaking with any insurance company.

Massachusetts follows a no-fault insurance system, which means your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays initial medical bills regardless of fault, but serious injuries allow you to step outside that system and pursue the at-fault driver directly. Massachusetts also applies comparative negligence rules, so insurance companies often try to shift blame onto victims to reduce what they owe. Attorney Lavey knows these tactics and builds cases that protect your full recovery.
