Are motorcycle accidents common in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts we see more and more motorcycle accidents every year. Motorcycles have become much more popular, there are hundreds of thousands of them on the road. Unfortunately when you're on a motorcycle the biggest cause of accidents and injuries is the operator of the car not seeing the motorcyclist. Especially with elderly people, they do not know you're there, and that's the cause of many of the accidents. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Are accidents from auto defects common?

Many times in auto accidents either the cause of the accident or the enhanced injury occurs as the result of the defective or faulty design of the vehicle itself. Unfortunately, most of the time that people are involved in single car accidents they have no idea the vehicle cause contributed to it. Many of these cases are never pursued. They never end up in the hands of lawyers. The thing to look for is, in SUVs, high center of gravity , the ability of the vehicle to roll over easily, such as the 15 passenger vans, failure of seatbelts, roof fall in event the vehicle rolls over, defective air bag - the air bag deploys but doesn't deploy at the appropriate time, protecting their occupant.

Are car accident lawsuits common in Massachusetts?

"Many people who haven't been in car accidents think that if that happened to them, they're just going to call their insurance agent and that their car is going to be fixed, their medical bills are going to be paid, they're going to be paid for their time out of work, and they're going to be paid for the pain and suffering of this horrible experience that they've had. That's not the case. Insurance companies, they're in business to make a profit. They make a profit by paying as little as possible on your claim. The adjusters are trained to do this. Even with an experienced attorney involved, they still resist paying full value on claims. That's why many times these cases require being taken to court to hold the insurance company accountable to ensure that they pay full value for what happened to you. I'm attorney Tom Kiley, I've been representing the seriously injured, and their families, in Massachusetts for over three decades."

Are accidents from tire defects still common?

Tire defects are still a problem on roads in the United States today. They're hard to prevent against because tread separation just happens sometimes spontaneously. And no inspection of the tire by a lay person would really reveal that there's a risk of something happening. Once the tire fails, the vehicle is susceptible to going off the road, rolling over and causing serious, catastrophic injury to occupants or bystanders. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Why are large passenger vans prone to accidents?

The most dangerous vehicle in my experience on the road today is surprising to most people. It's a fifteen passenger van. It has a high center of gravity and once it's loaded up with people and equipment, its handling characteristics change and in bad weather or emergency maneuvers, it can fishtail and roll over. When it rolls over, because its structure is very weak, the roof collapses. When this happens, the injuries can be devastating especially with fifteen people. You have brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, paralysis and death. Most people don't realize it - these vans are out they're. They're used by schools, sports teams, hotels, livery services. People ride in them every day and they're completely unaware of the magnitude of the injuries that can occur in one of these vans. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

How much money can I recover in a motorcycle accident?

The potential recovery for victims of motorcycle accidents is pretty much the same as victims of automobile accidents. You can recover your medical expenses, your loss/earning capacity, uh, any disfigurement, loss of enjoyment of life, payment for any permanency that your injuries may have. But again, it may be limited, by the insurance policy that’s held by the car that hit you. I’m attorney Tom Kiley. I’ve been representing the seriously injured, and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.
