Massachusetts Motorcycle Accident Attorneys
A motorcycle accident is a serious incident that can result in grave consequences. Because motorcycle riders do not have the same level of protection as passengers and drivers in cars, trucks, and SUVs, they often sustain catastrophic injuries when an accident occurs. Many motorcycle accident victims suffer from:
- Brain injuries
- Head trauma
- Back and spinal cord injuries
- Crushed limbs or organs
- Serious burns
- Internal bleeding
- Broken or fractured bones
- Paralysis
- Amputations
- Disfigurement & scarring
These injuries require extensive medical treatment, as well as hospitalization, surgery, and long-term rehabilitative care. Furthermore, because the majority of these injuries are incredibly debilitating, many motorcycle accident victims must either quite their job or take a leave of absence.
Fortunately, the law awards a type of protection to victims of motorcycle accidents in Massachusetts. If you were involved in a motorcycle accident that was caused by another person or entity’s negligent actions, he/she will be held liable for damages. Damages are awarded to cover your pain and suffering, medical costs, rehabilitation expenses, lost wages, property damage, and any additional financial hardship associated with the accident.
However, in order to win a motorcycle accident case, you must prove that another person or entity acted negligently, and is therefore liable for the accident. There are many acts that could be considered “negligence” in the eyes of the law, such as drunk driving, falling asleep at the wheel, reckless driving, and failing to yield. In addition, the city or county government can also be found at fault if road conditions, road signs, and traffic signals that were not maintained or in good working condition lead to the accident. Motorcycle manufacturers can also be held responsible for the accident if a design or mechanical defect caused the accident.
