Which of the following injuries qualifies under M.G.L. c. 231 §6D as an enumerated injury that satisfies the Massachusetts Tort Threshold regardless of medical-expense dollars?
AA soft-tissue sprain that fully resolves in six weeks
BA minor concussion with no objective findings
CReimbursable lost wages exceeding $2,000
A fractured bone confirmed by radiograph
Why this is the answer
M.G.L. c. 231 §6D allows a Massachusetts auto-accident plaintiff to sue for pain and suffering when medical expenses exceed $2,000 OR when the injury falls within an enumerated category: death, loss of a body member (dismemberment), permanent and serious disfigurement, loss of sight or hearing, or fracture of a bone. A radiologically confirmed fracture qualifies regardless of total medical billings.
