Boston Motorcycle Accident Attorneys

Contact FitzGerald Law Company for legal representation in Motorcycle Accident cases in Boston, Mass

Those who ride motorcycles enjoy being close to nature and the freedom of feeling the wind and sunshine as they ride. However, there are drawbacks to riding motorcycles. Motorcycles provide much less protection to the rider than a car, which has safety devices like airbags and seatbelts designed to shield the driver in the event of a collision. Motorcycles have no outer body frame to protect the rider, and in an accident, the rider is vulnerable to contact with the road or to being thrown off the bike.

Accident statistics have shown that riding a motorcycle is much more dangerous than driving a car. While there is a twenty percent chance of accident injury or death from riding in a car, the chances of injury or death from riding a motorcycle are around eighty percent. If you have been hurt in a motorcycle accident, it is important to learn about how a Boston motorcycle accident lawyer can help you. Motorcycle accident injuries are often serious, and those who are injured must focus on recovery, which can be lengthy and difficult. An experienced Boston motorcycle accident lawyer can deal with the insurance companies and can act as your legal advocate as you recover.

Causes of Massachusetts Motorcycle Accidents

There are several relatively common causes of motorcycle accidents in the state of Massachusetts, and both those who ride motorcycles and those who drive automobiles should be familiar with them all. One common cause of these accidents is speeding. Drivers who are speeding are unable to stop as quickly when they suddenly see someone in their way. Those who ride motorcycles as well as those who drive should observe all speed limits.

Driving or riding under the influence of drugs or alcohol is another common cause of motorcycle accident. Penalties for this offense are high and can cost a driver his freedom as well as steep fines.

Drivers of motorcycles who are inexperienced are also often the cause of accidents. All those who ride motorcycles should take a basic course in motorcycle safety. Bad weather conditions and dangerous road conditions are also common causes of motorcycle accidents. Potholes and cracked or damaged road pavement may cause a motorcycle to tip over or spin out of control.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries

Injuries that are sustained in motorcycle accidents are often very serious for the person on the motorcycle. With no exterior protection, the motorcyclist can be thrown off the bike and may suffer serious head or spinal cord injuries that can lead to a permanent disability.  Bone fractures are common and may take months to heal and can leave the motorcyclist in a cast or on crutches and unable to work for extended periods of time.

It is crucial that all who ride motorcycles wear a helmet. Helmets have been shown to prevent or at least reduce the severity of motorcycle head injuries. Traumatic brain syndrome from a motorcycle accident head injury can lead to a lifetime of pain and permanent alteration in cognitive ability, as well as the loss of the injured party’s ability to continue employment. Wearing a helmet also makes the motorcyclist look like a more responsible party if there is an accident, and a subsequent court dispute overcompensation.

Motorcycle Accident Frequently Asked Questions

There are a number of frequently asked questions that those who have been injured in a motorcycle accident often have. Some of these include:

  • Should I see a doctor after a motorcycle accident if I do not seem to be badly injured? – The answer to this question is yes. There are some types of injuries that can occur from a motorcycle accident that do not show symptoms right away, like concussions. The injured party may be fine for a day and then lapse into a coma. You should go to the ER or visit a doctor and keep a record of the visit.
  • What should I say to the insurance company if they call me after the accident? – While you may have an obligation to communicate with an insurance company, it is better to let your personal injury lawyer do this for you. Insurance companies can often ask questions that attempt to get you to make your injuries seem less serious than they are, so that you will take a smaller settlement.
  • What should I do after the accident? – The first thing to do is to seek medical care.  Get all the contact information from other parties involved, including witnesses. If you can, take photos of the scene or get someone to do it for you. Then, hire an experienced accident and injury lawyer.
  • How much compensation can I get after a motorcycle accident? – This will depend upon the unique circumstances of your accident.  Compensation generally depends on how responsibility for the accident is assessed and what harm has been suffered, physical injuries, medical bills, lost wages, as well as a number of other considerations. You will usually obtain the greatest possible amount of compensation by hiring an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer to handle your case.

Why Do I Need a Lawyer?

If you have  been hurt in a motorcycle accident, you will be dealing with insurance companies who have entire staffs of lawyers whose job it is to keep the insurance company from having to pay anything or to pay the least amount of money to compensate you for your injuries. You will have to fill out paperwork with complex legal language and provide evidence in support of your claim.  Most of all you will be dealing with an insurance company that is looking out for their interests and not yours.

An experienced motorcycle accident lawyer understands these insurance companies and will be your advocate, fighting for your rights instead of theirs. This lawyer can be your voice as you deal with the treatment for your injuries and try to heal. A skilled lawyer can give you the legal advice you need to get you through this challenging process.
