Injured in a Car Accident in Bristol County?
If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Bristol County—whether it’s Fall River, New Bedford, Taunton, or any of our surrounding towns—the steps you take right now can make or break your case.
I’m Attorney Tracy Paulsen, founder of Rightful Legal. For over 15 years, I’ve helped people across Massachusetts get the compensation they deserve after serious accidents. Here are some tips to protect your health, your rights, and your case.
First Step: Protect Your Health
Your first priority should be your health. Get medical attention right away, even if you think you’re okay. Some injuries—like concussions, whiplash, or internal damage—don’t show symptoms immediately. Prompt medical care not only protects your well-being but also creates essential documentation for your case.
Second Step: Protect Your Case
To protect your legal rights:
- Take photos of the accident scene
- Document visible injuries and all vehicle damage
- Get contact information from witnesses
- Avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company without talking to a lawyer first
Understanding Massachusetts Laws
Massachusetts insurance laws can be confusing—especially if your case involves:
- Multiple vehicles
- Multiple insurance companies
- A hit-and-run
- An uninsured or underinsured driver
- Serious injuries that require long-term care
If your crash happened in Attleboro, Dartmouth, Seekonk, Mansfield, North Attleborough, Raynham, Fairhaven, Somerset, or Swansea—you need someone who understands how to navigate Massachusetts’ no-fault system and fight for your full recovery.
