The Hanover Insurance Group in Massachusetts
The Hanover Insurance Group is headquartered in Worcester, Massachusetts — one of the few major national carriers with deep roots in the Commonwealth. Founded in 1852, Hanover has a significant commercial lines presence but also writes personal auto coverage through independent agents throughout Massachusetts. Hanover personal lines policyholders are frequently involved in accidents across Worcester County and Central Massachusetts.
How Hanover Insurance Handles Injury Claims
Hanover's claims operation is thorough, particularly on commercial lines and bodily injury claims. Attorney Lavey has found that Hanover adjusters are meticulous about documentation requirements, which can work against claimants who are unaware of what they need to produce. Missing records, gaps in treatment, or inconsistent statements can all be used to diminish the value of a claim.
On personal injury claims, Hanover often requests comprehensive medical histories — extending well beyond the accident itself — looking for pre-existing conditions that can be used to limit liability. Attorney Lavey manages this process to ensure Hanover receives only what it is legally entitled to.
Massachusetts No-Fault Law and Your Hanover Insurance Claim
For Hanover policyholders, PIP coverage provides the foundation of your no-fault benefits under Massachusetts law. Hanover PIP units process claims through standard review procedures and may dispute the medical necessity of certain treatments. Attorney Lavey assists clients in navigating PIP disputes with Hanover and in understanding when PIP benefits alone are insufficient to compensate for their losses.
Why You Need an Attorney When Dealing with Hanover Insurance
Massachusetts insurance law gives accident victims important rights, but exercising those rights effectively requires experience with the claims process. Insurance adjusters, including those at The Hanover Insurance Group, are trained claims professionals whose job is to resolve claims at the lowest reasonable cost to their employer. Attorney Jeffrey C. Lavey has spent over 37 years representing accident victims against every major Massachusetts insurer, including Hanover Insurance.
When Attorney Lavey represents you, all insurer communications go through his office.

Frequently Asked Questions: Hanover Insurance Claims in Massachusetts
Be very careful about signing blanket medical authorizations. While insurers are entitled to records relevant to your claimed injuries, a broad authorization allows them to comb through your entire medical history looking for pre-existing conditions. Attorney Lavey advises clients on how to provide records appropriately without giving insurers unlimited access to unrelated medical history.
Yes. If a Hanover-insured business vehicle or commercial operation caused your accident, you have the right to pursue a claim against that commercial policy, which typically carries higher limits than personal auto coverage. Commercial claims also often involve additional theories of liability, such as negligent hiring, entrustment, or supervision. Attorney Lavey investigates all available commercial liability claims.
PIP is mandatory no-fault coverage in Massachusetts under Massachusetts law. Your own PIP pays your initial medical expenses and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault. Only after the PIP threshold is met — or if your injuries include broken bones, permanent injury, or serious disfigurement — can you pursue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering. Attorney Lavey explains this process clearly so you understand exactly what you are entitled to at each stage.
Every claim is different. Factors that affect value include the nature and severity of your injuries, the cost of medical treatment and whether future care is needed, lost income and impact on earning capacity, pain and suffering, and available insurance coverage. Attorney Lavey evaluates claims thoroughly and provides honest assessments of what you can expect based on the specific facts of your case.
