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 motorcycle accident lawsuits common in Massachusetts?

In Massachusetts we are seeing a rise in not only motorcycle accidents, but motorcycle accident cases. And what motorcyclists have to understand is they have the same rights as every other driver on the road. And there is insurance, they’re entitled to recovery for their injuries. They’re entitled to have their medical expenses paid, their lost earnings. As long as they can establish fault on the other driver. 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.

How will a lawyer handle my motorcycle accident case?

Although people that are involved in minor automobile accidents can perhaps handle their claim on their own, if you are in a motorcycle accident it's recommended that you get an attorney. There's a built in bias against riders of motorcycles. Insurance companies take sometimes dim view of motorcycle operators, so it's more difficult to get an adequate a fair recovery for what has happened to you. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

What is a big mistake made with motorcycle accident claims?

The number one mistake that I see in victims of motorcycle accidents that try to handle it themselves is talking to the adjustor from the insurance company, believing the adjustor is their friend or is going to help them, giving them statements without the advice of counsel and many times making big mistakes that prevent them from getting a full recovery. The insurance adjustor is not your friend. He's trained to act like your friend. His objective is to pay you as little money as possible. I'm attorney Tom Kiley. I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.
