look it up....there's probably a merit rating appeals board

My wife contested something 30 years ago and won but that was for a claim where her car wound up underwater on storrow drive

can't win if you don't play

I've beaten parking ticket this way before.

If you are getting a surcharge for an accident, pretty sure that means you have been assigned fault. Although, this is a no fault state...who knows? I've never been in an accident where it was my fault or no fault. Its always been some dumbarse hitting me.

But I thought you never went out anywhere anymore. That must've been years ago.

Look on mass.gov

Either the police report or your insurance company indicated the at fault incident. You only have to be more than 50% at fault.

In MA you can fight surcharges, you have a right to a hearing at district court. But your chances of having the charge overturned are slim to none if you were 50% or more at fault

yeah, but my wife beat the surcharge with a simple letter of appeal.......it was a 1 car thing and of course it was her fault, but they took into consideration the circumstances on storrow drive that day (tons of water) and they removed the surcharge

the damage to the car was hydro lock to the engine........head and block were destroyed

it depends on the circumstances

It’s a comprehensive loss not collision thus no surcharge applicable.

that's not how they looked at it......but then again, maybe they made the initial mistake of looking at it that way.......the car was moving so there's that.....she drove into the puddle
