If you or a loved one has been hurt in Fall River, Massachusetts, you don’t have to face the insurance companies alone. Fall River is a historic Spindle City mill community on the Taunton River, where I-195, Route 24, and the Braga Bridge funnel heavy regional traffic, and preventable accidents happen here every day. When someone else’s negligence turns your life upside down, personal injury law gives you the right to full compensation — and the Law Offices of Michael F. Campopiano is here to fight for it.
For nearly two decades, our Fall River personal injury lawyers have recovered significant compensation for injured Massachusetts families — tens of millions of dollars across car crashes, slip and falls, dog attacks, and other serious injury claims. We manage every step — investigation, medical documentation, negotiation, and, when needed, trial — so you can focus on healing while we handle the fight.
Your consultation is always free, and you pay nothing unless we win. Call (401) 288-3888 or contact us today.

Massachusetts Personal Injury Law: What Fall River Residents Should Know
Massachusetts is a no-fault state. Your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) pays the first $8,000 of medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. To sue the at-fault party for pain and suffering, you must meet the serious injury threshold — generally more than $2,000 in medical expenses or a broken bone. Two rules matter most for Fall River injury victims:
- Modified comparative negligence (MGL c.231 § 85): you recover only if you were 50% or less at fault — at 51% you recover nothing.
- A three-year deadline (MGL c.260 § 2A) to file most claims; claims against a government entity require a presentment letter within two years.
Cases are tried before the Bristol County Superior Court. Because evidence disappears fast, the sooner you call, the stronger your case.

Fall River Personal Injury Law: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do I have a personal injury case in Fall River?
You likely have a claim if someone else’s negligence caused your injury and you suffered real damages. The surest way to know is a free consultation. Call (401) 288-3888 and we’ll evaluate your Fall River case honestly.
2. How much does it cost to hire a Fall River personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee — you pay no attorney fee unless we win, and your consultation is always free.
3. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Massachusetts?
Generally three years from the date of injury under MGL c.260 § 2A. Claims against a government entity require a presentment letter within two years, so it’s important to act quickly.
4. Is Massachusetts a no-fault state?
Yes. Your own PIP coverage pays the first $8,000 of medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. To sue for pain and suffering you must meet the serious injury threshold (MGL c.231 § 6D).
5. What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Massachusetts uses modified comparative negligence (MGL c.231 § 85): you can recover only if you were 50% or less at fault, with your award reduced by your share. At 51% or more, recovery is barred.
6. What types of personal injury cases does MFC Law handle in Fall River?
Car, motorcycle, pedestrian, and rideshare accidents; slip and fall and premises liability; dog bites; and product liability — the full range of personal injury claims across Fall River and Massachusetts.
7. Should I talk to the insurance company after my Fall River accident?
Report the crash to your own insurer to activate PIP, but give no recorded statement to the other side’s insurer before speaking with us — anything you say can be used to reduce your claim.
8. What is my Fall River personal injury case worth?
There is no fixed number. Value depends on the severity and permanence of your injuries, your medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. We document every loss to maximize your recovery.
