Our Massachusetts motorcycle accident lawyers fight for seriously injured riders

Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users. When a car or truck driver fails to see a motorcycle, changes lanes without checking, or runs a red light, the results can be catastrophic. Larson Law investigates the crash, documents your injuries, and fights the insurance company to maximize your recovery.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Massachusetts

Most motorcycle accidents in Massachusetts are caused by other drivers failing to see or yield to motorcyclists. Common causes we see include:

  • Left-turn accidents — The most common cause of motorcycle crashes; a vehicle turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle at an intersection
  • Lane changes without checking — Drivers who fail to check blind spots before merging into a lane occupied by a motorcyclist
  • Distracted driving — Texting, phone use, and inattentive driving make it even less likely a driver will notice a motorcycle
  • Speeding and aggressive driving — Excessive speed reduces a driver’s reaction time and dramatically increases crash severity
  • Drunk or impaired driving — Impaired drivers have reduced reaction times and judgment, making them especially dangerous to motorcyclists
  • Road hazards — Potholes, uneven pavement, gravel, and debris are significantly more dangerous on a motorcycle than in a car
  • Rear-end collisions — Being struck from behind at any speed can throw a rider from their motorcycle
  • Dooring accidents — A car door opening suddenly into a motorcyclist’s path, particularly in urban Massachusetts environments

Regardless of how the crash happened, if another driver’s negligence was a cause of your accident, you have the right to seek compensation. Our attorneys investigate every aspect of the crash to build the strongest possible case.

Serious Injuries in Massachusetts Motorcycle Accidents

Because motorcycles offer no structural protection to riders, crashes frequently result in severe injuries. Common injuries in Massachusetts motorcycle accident cases include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) — Even with a helmet, riders can suffer concussions, skull fractures, and life-altering brain damage
  • Spinal cord injuries — Damage to the spine can cause partial or complete paralysis requiring lifelong care
  • Road rash — Severe abrasions from sliding on pavement can cause deep tissue damage, scarring, and infection
  • Broken bones and fractures — Arms, legs, wrists, ankles, hips, and ribs are all commonly fractured in motorcycle crashes
  • Internal organ injuries — Blunt trauma from impact can damage the liver, spleen, kidneys, and lungs
  • Amputations — Severe crush injuries sometimes require amputation of a limb
  • Soft tissue injuries — Muscle tears, ligament damage, and joint injuries that can cause long-term chronic pain

The severity of these injuries means motorcycle accident cases often involve high damages — which also means insurance companies fight harder to minimize what they pay. Larson Law fights back with experienced legal representation.

What Compensation Can You Recover After a Massachusetts Motorcycle Accident?

If you were injured in a motorcycle accident caused by another driver, you may be entitled to recover:

  • Medical expenses: Emergency treatment, surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, ongoing physical therapy, and future medical care
  • Lost wages: Income you were unable to earn during your recovery
  • Loss of earning capacity: If your injuries affect your ability to work long-term or in the same capacity as before
  • Pain and suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injuries
  • Permanent disability or disfigurement: Additional compensation for long-term or permanent consequences of your injuries
  • Motorcycle damage: Repair or replacement costs for your motorcycle and riding gear

Massachusetts is a no-fault state for car insurance, but motorcycles are generally excluded from the personal injury protection (PIP) benefit system. This means you have a stronger ability to pursue the at-fault driver’s insurance directly. Our attorneys know these rules inside and out and will protect the full value of your claim.

Questions people often ask when searching for a Massachusetts personal injury lawyer

What should I do after a motorcycle accident in Massachusetts?

Seek medical attention immediately, even if you feel okay. Call police and get a crash report. Document the scene with photos if you can. Get contact and insurance information from all involved drivers. Avoid speaking with the other driver’s insurance company before consulting an attorney. Call Larson Law for a free consultation.

Motorcycles are excluded from Massachusetts’s mandatory personal injury protection (PIP) no-fault system. This means you are not required to first seek benefits from your own insurer before pursuing a claim against the at-fault driver. You can pursue the at-fault driver’s liability insurance directly, which is often favorable for motorcyclists.

Massachusetts requires motorcycle operators to wear helmets. Not wearing a helmet may be raised by the defense as evidence of comparative negligence, potentially reducing your recovery. However, it does not automatically bar your claim. Under Massachusetts comparative negligence rules, you can still recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault. Our attorneys know how to address this argument effectively.

The value of your case depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses and lost wages, how permanently your injuries affect your life, and how clearly the other driver was at fault. Motorcycle accidents frequently result in serious injuries and significant damages. After a free consultation, we can provide a more informed estimate.

In most cases, you have three years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Massachusetts. Missing this deadline typically forfeits your right to recover. Do not wait — contact us as soon as possible to protect your claim and preserve evidence.

Massachusetts uses modified comparative negligence. Even if the other driver disputes fault, you can still recover as long as you were not more than 50% responsible. We investigate the crash thoroughly, gather police reports, witness statements, crash reconstruction evidence, and other documentation to establish the other driver’s fault.

Yes. If the at-fault driver had no insurance or insufficient coverage, you may be able to make a claim under your own uninsured or underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage if you have it. Massachusetts law allows motorcyclists to purchase UM/UIM coverage. Our attorneys evaluate all available insurance coverage to maximize your recovery.

Having an attorney significantly improves your outcome in motorcycle accident cases. Insurance companies know that motorcycle injury claims tend to be high-value and fight hard to minimize payouts. We handle all communication with insurers, gather evidence, and negotiate aggressively on your behalf — at no upfront cost.
