Why Should I Hire a Worcester Personal Injury Lawyer?
After an injury in Worcester, insurance companies are rarely on your side. They will dispute fault, downplay your injuries, and attempt to settle for far less than your claim is worth — often before you have any idea what your full recovery will cost.
An attorney from the Law Offices of Michael F. Campopiano steps in immediately to gather critical evidence, handle all insurer communications, and protect your legal rights under Massachusetts law. This is especially important in Massachusetts because the 51% modified comparative negligence bar makes fault assignment binary at the threshold — one percentage point above 50% eliminates your recovery entirely. Controlling how fault is characterized from the start is the difference between full compensation and nothing.
Most importantly, you can concentrate on healing while knowing we are pursuing the maximum compensation available for your injuries, lost wages, and long-term needs.
Massachusetts Law: What Worcester Injury Victims Need to Know
Massachusetts no-fault PIP applies to rideshare accidents — your PIP pays first $8,000 in medical bills regardless of fault. Modified comparative negligence (MGL c.231 §85) applies to the underlying liability claim. Statute of limitations: 3 years (MGL c.260 §2A).
What Types of Damages Are Available After an Uber or Lyft accident in Worcester?
A serious injury can upend every aspect of your life. Under Massachusetts personal injury law, you have the right to pursue full compensation from those responsible.
Damages may include:
Medical Expenses
Lost Wages and Reduced Earning Capacity
Pain and Suffering
Future Medical Expenses
Additional Related Expenses
Our goal is to make sure every loss — financial and personal — is fully accounted for when we fight for your compensation in Worcester.
Understanding Rideshare Insurance in Worcester
Understanding which insurance policy applies after a rideshare accident in Worcester is essential to recovering full compensation. Rhode Island and Massachusetts require Uber and Lyft drivers to carry specific coverage, and both companies provide additional insurance depending on the status of the trip when the crash occurred.
Phase 1: App Off
If the Uber or Lyft driver’s app was completely off at the time of the crash, only the driver’s personal auto insurance applies. Our attorneys investigate whether that policy provides adequate coverage and pursue all available sources.
Phase 2: App On, No Passenger Matched
When the driver was logged into the app and waiting for a ride request, Uber and Lyft provide limited contingent liability coverage — up to $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident for bodily injury. The driver’s personal policy may also apply.
Phase 3: En Route to Pickup or Transporting a Passenger
Once the driver has accepted a trip and is on the way to pick up a passenger, or has a passenger in the vehicle, Uber and Lyft provide up to $1 million in liability coverage. This is the strongest phase of coverage for injured victims in Worcester.
Our Worcester rideshare accident attorneys immediately obtain app records to determine exactly which phase applies, then pursue the maximum compensation from every available source.

Frequently Asked Questions About Uber & Lyft Accident in Worcester
Straight answers, no legalese. Still have a question? A real person answers, day or night.
Phase 3 applies once a trip is accepted — providing $1 million in liability coverage. If another driver caused the crash, their liability policy applies first. The rideshare commercial policy is the backstop if the at-fault driver’s coverage is insufficient.
Phase 2 applies: $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident. If your damages exceed these limits, we investigate additional coverage sources including the driver’s personal policy and your own UM/UIM coverage.
Your PIP coverage pays your first $8,000 in medical bills and 75% of lost wages regardless of fault — even in a rideshare accident. After PIP is exhausted, the liability claim against the applicable rideshare coverage phase proceeds.
Screenshot the app immediately to preserve the trip status. Call 911. Document the scene. Seek medical attention the same day. Do not give a recorded statement to the rideshare insurer before consulting an attorney.
Direct corporate lawsuits face the independent contractor defense. However, the $1 million Phase 3 commercial coverage is accessible directly without a corporate lawsuit. We access the commercial coverage on your behalf and investigate negligent hiring arguments where applicable.
Three years from the date of the accident under MGL c.260 §2A. Trip records and app data disappear quickly. Act immediately.
