What Types of Notices Am I Required to Give in Connection with My Involvement in a Motor Vehicle Accident?

Under Massachusetts Law, if you are involved in a motor vehicle accident which results in personal injury or damage to property of over $1,000.00 you must notify the police department. In addition, to preserve your rights, you must notify your own insurance company about your involvement in an accident within one (1) business day. Indeed, if you are involved in an accident in someone else’s car, you should make sure that the motor vehicle insurance company for that car as well as your own insurance company is notified of the details of the incident.
