Legal Question in Personal Injury in Massachusetts

Re: Sued for negligence

there is a 3 year statute of limitation that can be offset by the discovery rule. You should meet with the insurer's attorney to raise these questions. Do not act otherwise. If your are not contact, contact an attorney experienced with personal injury litigation.

Re: Sued for negligence

I agree with both attorneys who answered your question before me.

There seems to be a statute of limitations issue.

I do not see a discovery rule issue here which would extend the statute of limitations beyond three years,

because there is no hidden or latent defect. talk to the insurance company's lawyers.

Be advised that although they are providing you with a defense

they are looking out for the insurance company's interest not yours, often these interests are the same but at times they conflict.

you may want to seek the advice of an independent attorney.

If you are in the north shore area, and would like additional information feel free to call. ( 978) 465-5158

I also agree that you should not give any statements or talk to any one but your lawyer about the case.

Re: Sued for negligence

I'd trust your lawyers.

I don't see what harm it can do for you to request another delivery person for your address.

Frankly, I'm surprised because I thought the statute of limitations would have kicked in (at 3 years) to make this case die and you say you were "recently" served. Was it before the end of October that you were served? Did you never know of this before you were served?
