Massachusetts Senate Attempts to Increase Accident Surcharge Threshold Limits
/0 Comments/in Personal Insurance/by Murphy InsuranceThe Massachusetts Senate has successfully incorporated an amendment into the 2016 State Budget, aiming to raise the Property Damage Threshold for both Minor and Major accidents. The proposed thresholds would increase to $1,001 for Minor Accidents and $5,001 for Major Accidents, potentially benefiting Massachusetts drivers by impacting surcharge points added to driving records, which can influence insurance premiums following at-fault accidents.
