A crash creates questions. Start with a clear plan.
Medical appointments, missed work, and calls from insurance adjusters can quickly become overwhelming. A Beverly car accident lawyer can help you understand the available coverage, preserve evidence, and evaluate a claim for your injuries.
Attorney Matthew A. Rubner represents people injured in Massachusetts collisions. Our Beverly office is at 100 Cummings Center, Suite 207-P. Whether your crash happened nearby or elsewhere in the state, start with a free consultation about the accident and the treatment you have received.
You do not need to know the value of your case or have every record before calling. Share what you have, and we can discuss what else is needed.
What we review first
- How the collision happened and whether fault is disputed.
- Your injuries, treatment, and time missed from work.
- The vehicles, drivers, and insurance policies involved.
- Photos, witness information, reports, and available video.

Car accident injury claims we handle
The point of impact is only part of the story. Driver conduct, road conditions, and the available evidence help explain why a crash happened.
Rear-end & intersection crashes
Following distance, braking, traffic signals, turning movements, and witness accounts can matter. We review the evidence rather than assuming one driver is automatically responsible.
Highway & multi-vehicle collisions
Lane changes and chain-reaction crashes can involve competing accounts and several insurance carriers. Photographs, vehicle damage, and available recordings can help clarify the sequence.
Rideshare & uninsured drivers
Uber or Lyft activity may affect the coverage available. A hit-and-run or uninsured driver can also raise questions about coverage under your own policy.
What to do after a Beverly car accident
Your safety and medical needs come first. Once you are safe, preserve the information that may be needed to evaluate your injury claim.
01 Get care and document symptoms
Seek appropriate medical attention. Describe your symptoms accurately, follow treatment instructions, and keep appointment records, bills, and information about missed work.
02 Save the crash evidence
Keep scene and vehicle photos, driver and witness contact details, the crash report, and insurance messages. Preserve dashcam footage and identify nearby cameras before recordings are lost.
03 Review offers before signing
A settlement release can end your ability to seek additional compensation. Get advice about unresolved injuries and treatment needs before accepting an offer.
Insurance coverage deserves a careful review
A Massachusetts crash can involve more than one claim or policy. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) may help with qualifying medical expenses and lost wages, subject to eligibility, policy terms, and coordination with health insurance. A separate bodily injury claim may address losses caused by another driver.
Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may also matter. Commercial vehicles, rideshare activity, and multiple injured people can make the coverage analysis more complicated.
We review the accident and available policies instead of treating an insurer’s first explanation as the final answer. The state’s auto insurance guide explains the different types of coverage.
What an injury claim may include
- Medical expenses and supported future treatment needs.
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity.
- Pain, suffering, and disruption to daily life, where recoverable.
- Scarring, permanent impairment, and other lasting effects.
Recovery depends on fault, the evidence, applicable Massachusetts rules, and available insurance or other sources of payment. There is no reliable settlement estimate based only on the type of collision.
Was anyone injured? Our focus is personal injury representation. When you contact us, describe the injuries and treatment along with any vehicle damage.
A Beverly office serving injured people statewide
Crashes on Route 128, Cabot Street, Rantoul Street, or another Beverly road each require a review of the specific facts. A familiar street name does not establish fault, and a crash report may not resolve every disputed detail.
Our office at the Cummings Center serves Beverly and the surrounding North Shore. If your injuries make an office visit difficult, ask about a phone or video consultation. The collision does not have to have happened in Beverly for us to discuss a Massachusetts injury claim.

Beverly car accident questions
Can I bring a claim if I was partly at fault?
Partial fault does not automatically bar a Massachusetts negligence claim. Under G.L. c. 231, § 85, damages are reduced by your share of negligence. Recovery is barred if your negligence exceeds the combined negligence of the people against whom recovery is sought. We can review the insurer’s position and supporting evidence.
How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit?
Many Massachusetts personal injury lawsuits have a three-year limitation period from accrual under G.L. c. 260, § 2A. Exceptions and other notice or claim deadlines may apply. Contact an attorney promptly rather than relying on a general deadline.
What if the other driver has no insurance?
Uninsured motorist coverage may be relevant, including in some hit-and-run situations. Eligibility depends on the facts and policy provisions. Preserve the crash information and report the incident promptly so available coverage can be reviewed.
Should I accept the insurance company’s first offer?
An early offer may arrive before the extent of your injuries or future treatment is clear. A release can end the claim. We can discuss the proposed settlement, the evidence, and the losses it is intended to cover.
How much does it cost to discuss my accident?
The initial consultation is free. Before representation begins, we explain the proposed fee arrangement and responsibility for case expenses in a written agreement.
Can you help if the crash happened outside Beverly?
Yes, the firm handles Massachusetts injury matters beyond Beverly. Tell us where the crash happened, where you live, and what injuries and treatment are involved so we can discuss whether the firm can help.
What should I bring to a consultation?
Bring the crash report if you have it, photographs, insurance details, medical information, and any messages or settlement offers. Do not delay calling just because some documents are missing.
