Generally, you have three years from the date of the accident to bring a lawsuit in Massachusetts for injuries sustained in a Massachusetts dog bite accident or attack. Also, if you live in Massachusetts and your slip and fall accident was in a different state, then that state’s laws apply. Not all states have a three year statute of limitations like Massachusetts does.

There are exceptions however to this rule, and if you think that you have a dog bite case, I encourage you to call me now at 617-397-4242 or email me at cearley@earleylawgroup.com for a completely free consultation. My office does not collect a legal fee unless we win your case for you.
