Our Somerville Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Handle the Legal Work While You Focus on Recovery
Motorcyclists don’t have the same safety features as drivers in cars (like seatbelts or airbags), so when a crash happens, the rider is often badly hurt. Without that protection, even a single impact is likely to cause serious injuries, including traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), especially if the rider is thrown from the bike.
Our Somerville motorcycle accident attorneys understand how devastating these injuries often are. We’ll take care of building your case, showing how the accident and your condition have affected your everyday life.
While you focus on healing, we’ll handle the legal process, medical paperwork, and insurance issues. You won’t have to face it all alone; we’re here to make sure you get the care and support you need.
Compensation Available After a Motorcycle Accident
Motorcycle crashes often lead to serious injuries and unexpected costs. From medical bills to missed paychecks, the financial pressure adds up fast. Our Somerville motorcycle accident lawyers are here to help you recover what you’ve lost, both financially and emotionally.
If someone else’s carelessness caused the crash, you have the right to seek compensation. We’ll carefully review your case and figure out what compensation you’re eligible to claim.
You may be able to recover money for:
- Medical bills
- Ongoing or future treatment
- Lost income
- Reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Damage to your motorcycle and gear
We know it’s easy to show the cost of medical care, but it’s harder to explain how your life has changed, like struggling to sleep, giving up favorite activities, or no longer riding because of fear or pain. Our team will talk with your family and friends and gather evidence to show the full impact of the crash.
Be Careful With Insurance Companies
Insurance adjusters often unfairly assume motorcyclists are careless, even when they obey all traffic rules. Because of this bias, they frequently offer low settlements or refuse to pay at all, even when another driver is clearly at fault.
Insurance adjusters use a wide range of tactics to devalue or dismiss your motorcycle accident claim:
- Offering quick, low settlements: Adjusters often push a fast settlement that is much less than what you deserve, hoping you’ll accept it before you understand the full value of your claim.
- Questioning your injuries: They might downplay the seriousness of your injuries or suggest they weren’t caused by the accident to avoid paying more.
- Delaying the process: By slowing down their response or delaying payments, they hope you’ll give up or settle for less.
- Requesting unnecessary medical exams: They will likely send you for multiple medical exams to find reasons to dispute your injuries or claim.
- Misrepresenting policy coverage: Insurance companies sometimes wrongly claim your policy doesn’t cover certain damages or injuries.
- Using your words against you: Adjusters will likely record your conversations and use anything you say to weaken your case.
Our skilled motorcycle accident lawyers in Somerville know how to challenge these unfair assumptions. We’re strong negotiators, but if the insurance company doesn’t agree to a fair deal, we’re ready to take your case to court and fight for your financial recovery.
Helping Families After a Deadly Motorcycle Accident
If you’ve lost a loved one in a fatal motorcycle crash, we’re truly sorry for your loss. Our Somerville wrongful death lawyers understand how painful and overwhelming this time is. We’re here to support you with care and respect as you take legal steps forward.
In Massachusetts, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the executor of your loved one’s estate. Any compensation won through the case will be shared among eligible family members. We’ll handle the legal process, freeing you up to focus on grieving and healing while we work to hold the responsible party accountable.
Don’t Wait Too Long to Take Legal Action in Massachusetts
Massachusetts law sets a deadline for filing personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. In most cases, you have just three years from the date of the accident to start your claim, based on Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 260, section 2A. Speak with a knowledgeable Somerville motorcycle accident lawyer as soon as possible to find out your exact deadline.
The earlier you contact us, the better chance we have to build a strong case. We’ll visit the scene, speak with witnesses, collect video footage, and gather all available evidence. Over time, memories fade, and key details get lost. Acting quickly will likely make a big difference in the outcome of your case. Better Phone Stone®.
