As a motorcycle rider, you know there’s something uniquely liberating about taking to the road on two wheels. The wind cutting through your helmet, the curves of the Mohawk Trail beneath your tires, or the serenity of a ride through Cape Cod on a late summer evening. For many, motorcycling is more than just a way to get around—it’s a passion, a community, and a lifestyle.
But even the most experienced riders know how quickly a ride can turn tragic. In cities like Boston and Springfield or on high-traffic roads like I-93 and Route 2, motorcyclists face hazards most drivers rarely think about. Distracted motorists, poor road conditions, and aggressive drivers create constant risks. And too often, riders are blamed for accidents they didn’t cause.
If you’ve been hurt in a crash due to someone else’s negligence, a Massachusetts motorcycle accident lawyer from our network may help protect your rights and pursue the compensation you’re entitled to.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
Recovering from a motorcycle crash is never just physical. It’s emotional, financial, and sometimes even legal. If you’re already receiving medical care, now is the time to think about your next steps.
Hiring a local motorcycle accident attorney is the best way to protect your rights and the value of your damages claim after a crash. Insurance companies often exploit outdated stereotypes about riders to shift blame and minimize payouts. An attorney in TopDog Law’s legal network can help you navigate these tactics and advocate on your behalf.
Here’s what else you can do to protect your rights and strengthen your claim:
Massachusetts has seen a troubling increase in motorcycle-related injuries and fatalities in recent years. According to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation:
These numbers underscore a harsh truth: riders are disproportionately affected in accidents, often through no fault of their own.
Most motorcycle accident cases hinge on negligence. Under Massachusetts law, a person or entity may be held liable if they failed to exercise reasonable care, leading to your injuries.
To build a strong claim, your lawyer must establish the following elements in your case:
Motorcycle crashes often result in more severe injuries than other types of vehicle accidents due to the lack of external protection.
Common injuries include:
Some of these injuries may require lifelong care and can dramatically alter a rider’s quality of life.
While crashes can happen anywhere, certain Massachusetts roads pose higher risks:
Aggressive drivers, poor lighting, and complex intersections are all characteristics of these areas, making them particularly dangerous for motorcyclists.
Motorcycle accident victims in Massachusetts may be eligible to pursue:
In fatal crashes, surviving family members may pursue wrongful death damages, including loss of financial support, emotional pain and suffering, loss of companionship, funeral expenses, and more.
No, motorcycle accidents are not covered by Massachusetts’ no-fault insurance laws. Injured motorcycle riders cannot rely on personal injury protection (PIP) to cover medical expenses or lost wages. Instead, they must pursue compensation directly from the party at fault.Â
The path to compensation is more complex and potentially adversarial compared to that of other car accident victims, making it especially important to work with a qualified personal injury lawyer after a crash.
Insurance companies rarely offer fair settlements upfront, especially to motorcyclists. Claims adjusters often rely on public bias against riders to shift blame or lowball payouts.
Call TopDog Law to connect with an experienced local motorcycle accident lawyer who understands these tactics and how to counter them. They may:
Determining liability is complex and often involves more than one party:
A thorough investigation helps identify all liable parties and builds a strong, comprehensive claim.
Massachusetts has a three-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including motorcycle accidents. This means you have up to three years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit.
Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to recover compensation. It’s essential to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible to preserve evidence and begin the legal process.
Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule. This means that if you’re found to be less than 51% at fault, you may still recover damages, though your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your fault.
Navigating the aftermath of a motorcycle accident is overwhelming. A lawyer from TopDog Law’s network can assist with:
Legal support gives you the best chances of obtaining maximum compensation for all of your injuries and other damages.
If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle crash, don’t take on the legal process alone. Without a lawyer, insurance companies and their lawyers know how to take advantage of you. A local motorcycle accident lawyer gives you the leverage you need to obtain the compensation you deserve.
