What exactly is “No Fault” Insurance?
“No Fault” is a misnomer and one of the most commonly misunderstood rules. No, this does not mean neither party is at fault in the accident.
In Massachusetts, being a ‘no-fault’ state does not mean that nobody is at fault in an accident. Instead, it means that when it comes to auto insurance claims, each person’s insurance company pays for their own medical bills and related expenses up to the personal injury protection (PIP) coverage limit outlined in their policy, REGARDLESS of who caused the accident. However, if the damages exceed this limit or if the injuries are severe, then the injured party can pursue additional compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance.
Typically, on police accident reports, the driver at fault will be listed. If it is not determined in the report, the insurance company will make an initial determination of fault for claims.
