Legal Question in Personal Injury in Massachusetts
I was assigned to direct traffic at an intersection
around sunset last thursday 0n 9/23/99.
at approx. 5:25pm I was struck by a car which
surved because the driver claimed that the sun
blinded her.
I have been contacted twice by her insurance co.
twice/and faxed a letter.
I was taken to the hospital by ambulance and told
to stay out for a week and a half to 2 weeks.
I have already been to see one follow up visit
to a doctor.
I am pretty sure I will have a legal rep. to make
sure that I get what I need.
I would like to know about the options and laws
pertaining to this in Massachusetts.

Re: stuck by a car
Where was this? (What city or town?) Why were you
assigned ... are you a police officer?
Have you answered questions on the phone or in person from the insurance company or an investigator that they've sent out to see you?
Be wary! You're probably safest to wait for legal advice before making ANY response.
What harm has been done to you? How long before you know the full extent of the damage?
Who owns the vehicle that she drove? Who is the insurer and what do they want to know
from you? (They may be offering to pay medical bills now, possibly without even having you
give up any legal rights. See a lawyer!)
You may contact me by e-mail or be telephone
at (617) 527-0050.
If I cannot help you myself, I may be able to refer you
to someone closer or otherwise better suited to serve your
legal needs.
