· How we research

Massachusetts carries major interstate truck traffic through the I-90 Mass Pike (the longest east-west interstate segment in New England), I-93 through Boston, and I-95 around the metro. The state has one of the country's oldest legal systems and a strong plaintiff bar — but the no-fault PIP system limits some pain and suffering claims in non-commercial contexts.

Massachusetts truck accident law — key points

Three legal questions affect almost every truck accident case in Massachusetts. Each is governed by a public statute we link below — you can verify everything.

Comparative negligence rule

Modified comparative negligence (51% bar)

See statute

Massachusetts uses modified comparative fault with a 51% bar (M.G.L. c. 231 § 85). You can recover if you are 50% or less at fault. Recovery reduced by your share.

Damages caps

No cap on compensatory damages

See statute

No statutory cap on compensatory damages in ordinary cases. Massachusetts' no-fault PIP "tort threshold" requires $2,000+ in medical expenses OR specified serious injury (broken bones, permanent disfigurement, loss of body function) to sue for pain and suffering (M.G.L. c. 231 § 6D). For commercial truck cases, the threshold is almost always met.
