How Michael F. Campopiano Can Help After a Pedestrian Accident in Lynn

Pedestrian accident claims in Lynn require establishing driver fault, proving the driver failed in the duty of due care every motorist owes, and countering any attempt to blame the pedestrian. Injuries in these cases are often catastrophic, so full documentation of current and future losses is critical.

A dedicated Lynn pedestrian accident attorney from the Law Offices of Michael F. Campopiano can make all the difference. Our firm has spent nearly two decades fighting for injury victims across Lynn and Massachusetts — from the first investigation through settlement or trial before the Essex County Superior Court — recovering significant results for our clients.

You can count on our Lynn attorneys to:

  • Conduct a rapid investigation of the scene along the Lynnway (Route 1A), Western Avenue, Boston Street, Union Street, and Broadway to preserve photographs, video, and physical evidence before it disappears
  • Establish the driver’s fault and their breach of the duty of due care owed to every pedestrian under Massachusetts law
  • Handle any claim involving a city or state vehicle or a government crosswalk with the required presentment letter under Massachusetts law
  • Document every injury through specialist evaluations — TBI, spinal, and orthopedic — and project future medical costs fully
  • Take your case to trial before the Essex County Superior Court if insurers refuse fair compensation

Our priority is your full recovery. Call today at (401) 288-3888 to speak with a Lynn pedestrian accident attorney. Your consultation is 100% free, and you pay nothing unless we win.

The law

Understanding Massachusetts Pedestrian Accident Law in Lynn

Massachusetts drivers must stop for pedestrians in a marked crosswalk when they are on the driver’s half of the road or within 10 feet of it. Notably, the PIP coverage of the vehicle that struck you generally pays the first $8,000 of your medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault — even if you don’t own a car. To sue the driver for pain and suffering, you must meet the serious injury threshold.

Even if you were crossing outside a crosswalk, Massachusetts’s modified comparative negligence rule (MGL c.231 § 85) lets you recover if you were 50% or less at fault. You have three years to file (MGL c.260 § 2A), with cases tried before the Essex County Superior Court.

What to Do After a Pedestrian Accident in Lynn

The steps you take in the hours and days after your injury can make or break your claim. If you have been hurt in Lynn:

  • Call 911 and make sure a police report is filed at the scene
  • Document everything — photograph the scene, your injuries, and anything that contributed to the incident before it changes
  • Get the names and contact information of any witnesses
  • Seek medical attention the same day, even if you think you can wait — delayed treatment is used against you

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Pedestrian Accident in Lynn

Straight answers, no legalese. Still have a question? A real person answers, day or night.

(401) 288-3888

In a marked crosswalk, yes — vehicles must stop for a pedestrian on their half of the road, or within 10 feet of it. Outside crosswalks, pedestrians must yield, but drivers still owe a duty of reasonable care to everyone on the road.

Surprisingly, the PIP coverage of the vehicle that hit you typically pays the first $8,000 of your medical bills and lost wages, regardless of fault. Beyond that, you may claim against the at-fault driver if you meet the tort threshold.

Yes, if you cross the serious injury threshold (over $2,000 in medical expenses, a broken bone, disfigurement, or loss of sight/hearing) and can show the driver was at fault.

Yes. Jaywalking does not bar a claim — under Massachusetts modified comparative negligence, you can recover if you were 50% or less at fault, with your award reduced by your share. At 51% or more, recovery is barred.

Three years from the date of the crash (MGL c.260 § 2A). Claims against a government entity require a presentment letter within two years. Don’t wait — evidence fades fast.

Pedestrian injuries are often catastrophic, so values can be high. Worth depends on severity and permanence, medical and future-care costs, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering.

Your own uninsured motorist coverage — or a household policy — usually becomes the recovery source in a hit-and-run. Report it to police immediately; we help locate every available policy.

Often yes. PIP from the vehicle that struck you generally covers an injured pedestrian even if you don’t own a car or have your own auto policy. We make sure that coverage is pursued.
