Under Massachusetts common law, if you are attacked or reasonably believe you are going to be attacked, placing you in immediate danger of physical harm, you have a right to take the steps necessary to defend yourself. You are required to take reasonable steps, if you can, to avoid physical combat before resorting to force. You are not allowed to use more force than is reasonably necessary to defend yourself from your attacker. You may use deadly force only if you have reason to believe your attacker poses a genuine threat to cause you severe bodily harm or death.
