Hurt in a Motorcycle Accident?

After a motorcycle accident, Jim Glaser Law is here to help bring you the compensation you deserve for your injuries. Get a free case review from a Boston motorcycle accident lawyer and take the first step towards receiving justice.

A motorcycle helmet lies behind a fallen motorcycle on the side of the road.

You may have a claim for motorcycle accident compensation when another person or business caused your injuries, whether through an unsafe left turn, a lane change, distracted driving, impaired driving, poor road conditions, a vehicle defect, or another unsafe act. Jim Glaser Law represents injured motorcyclists and families throughout Boston and Massachusetts who need clear answers after a serious collision.

Motorcycle claims aren’t the same as car accident claims. Massachusetts insurers generally don’t have to provide Personal Injury Protection, or PIP, benefits to a motorcycle operator or passenger injured while on the motorcycle. That can make your health insurance, Medical Payments coverage, the at-fault driver’s bodily injury coverage, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage especially important. A Boston motorcycle accident lawyer can review the policies that may apply and help identify available paths to compensation.

Jim Glaser Law can investigate the collision, preserve photographs and video, review police reports and vehicle damage, speak with witnesses, and document medical expenses, lost income, damage to your motorcycle and gear, and other losses. We also address unfair assumptions that a rider was speeding, passing unsafely, or riding recklessly when the evidence tells a different story. If you were hurt in a motorcycle accident, contact Jim Glaser Law for a free consultation. There are no upfront attorney’s fees, and you pay no fee unless we recover compensation for you.

It’s Easy to Get the Help You Need

2

You Have Rights

You’re entitled to compensation for the injuries caused by your accident. We work hard to protect your rights and bring you every dollar you’re due.

3

No Upfront Costs

We believe that every New England citizen deserves affordable, experienced legal representation. We work on contingency, meaning you never pay unless we win compensation for you. The initial consultation is free, so don’t wait! Contact Jimmy today to get help with your claim.

I submitted a negative review a week or so ago. The next day I received a phone call from Jimmy himself. He was very professional and very concerned with the problems I was experiencing. He asked me to give him a couple hours and he would dig into the problem and get right back to me. Jimmy is truly a man of his word,he called me back as promised explained the situation and has talked to me several times since to insure that I was being taken care of. Jimmy is a good person and definitely cares about his clients. David Cooper

I was introduced to Jim through my nephew two years ago. We met socially and I liked him immediately. Six months later, i was injured at work, tearing my rotator cuff and separating my bicep from the bone. I contacted my employers insurance company,xxxxxxxxx, and I made a claim for long term disability, a premium that I had paid for a period of 16 years. I heard nothing from xxxxxxxxxx and mentioned it go my nephew. He told me to call Atty Glazer and ask him about it. I had surgery on both injuries and Jim followed up with me on my situation. He then told me that there is a firm that he partnered with that was extremely good at this particular set of circumstances: not paying on a claim. Jim said that he would get them in contact with me and that they, having a great amount of experience, would pursue my claim with his shepherding me through the long and involved process. He followed up after every meeting and IAB hearing with them to make sure all was on track and that i was comfortable with the process. I appreciate follow up on any situation and his is excellent! The settlement that his partnership obtained was well above my expectations by a factor of four. I recommend that anyone in a legal situation first speak to Jim and get him to oversee their situation which he will do with the upmost professionalism and concern. On a scale of 1-5, he is a 6!,

What Should You Do After a Motorcycle Accident?

After a motorcycle accident, get medical help and follow the instructions from emergency dispatchers and medical professionals. If you’re able to do so safely, report the collision, exchange information with the other parties, and take photographs of the scene, vehicles, and visible injuries. Avoid guessing about what happened or making statements about fault.

Notify the appropriate insurer promptly, but be careful about giving a recorded statement or signing a broad medical authorization before you know how it may affect your claim! Photograph and document your motorcycle, helmet, and riding gear before repairs, disposal, or modifications that could destroy useful evidence.

For a fuller checklist, read our article, What To Do After a Motorcycle Accident. Jim Glaser Law can review the facts of your collision, preserve available evidence, and explain your legal options in a free consultation.

How Is a Massachusetts Motorcycle Accident Claim Different From a Car Accident Claim?

Motorcycle accident claims often require a different insurance review than claims involving private-passenger cars. In Massachusetts, motorcycle operators and passengers generally don’t receive the Personal Injury Protection, or PIP, benefits that may be available after a car accident. Massachusetts motorcycle insurance regulations set different coverage requirements for motorcycles.

As a result, the available insurance coverage can play a larger role in paying medical bills and other accident-related losses. Depending on the policies involved and the facts of the collision, coverage may include:

  • Health insurance: This may help pay for accident-related medical care, subject to the terms of the health plan.
  • Medical Payments coverage: MedPay may provide limited coverage for medical expenses under the applicable policy.
  • The at-fault driver’s bodily injury liability coverage: This coverage may be available when another driver caused the accident.
  • Uninsured motorist coverage: This may apply when the at-fault driver has no insurance or can’t be identified after a hit-and-run.
  • Underinsured motorist coverage: This may help when the at-fault driver’s available bodily injury coverage doesn’t fully cover the losses.

Policy language, coverage limits, and the evidence of fault all affect which coverage may apply. Jim Glaser Law can review the available policies, identify potential sources of recovery, and explain the options available after a motorcycle accident in Massachusetts.

Who May Be Liable for a Motorcycle Accident?

Liability for a motorcycle accident depends on the available evidence, not assumptions about the person riding the motorcycle. Depending on how the collision happened, 1 or more people, companies, or public entities may be responsible for the injuries and losses that followed.

Many motorcycle accidents happen because another driver fails to see, yield to, or share the road safely with a rider. Potentially negligent conduct may include:

  • Making an unsafe left turn in front of a motorcycle
  • Changing lanes without checking for a rider
  • Failing to yield the right of way
  • Driving while distracted
  • Driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs
  • Speeding or violating another traffic law

A truck, delivery vehicle, rideshare vehicle, or other commercial vehicle may be involved in a motorcycle accident. Depending on the circumstances, the driver and the company connected to that vehicle may both be liable. A claim may examine company policies, driver training, vehicle maintenance, scheduling practices, supervision, and whether the driver was working at the time of the collision.

Dangerous conditions can be especially hazardous for motorcycle riders. A property owner, construction contractor, or government entity may be responsible when unsafe road conditions, debris, inadequate warnings, dangerous construction zones, or certain roadway defects contributed to an accident. Claims involving public entities can involve special notice requirements and shorter deadlines, so it’s wise to seek legal advice as soon as possible.

Some accidents involve a defective motorcycle, tire, brake, helmet, or other component. A manufacturer, distributor, repair shop, or maintenance provider may be liable if a design defect, manufacturing defect, failed inspection, or negligent repair contributed to the collision or made the rider’s injuries worse.

More than 1 party may share fault for a motorcycle accident. Jim Glaser Law can investigate what happened, review the available evidence, and identify the parties and insurance coverage that may be involved in your claim.

Motorcycle Passenger Accident Claims

A passenger injured while riding on someone else’s motorcycle may have a claim not only against another driver, but potentially against the motorcycle’s operator as well, depending on how the accident happened. Passenger claims often involve different insurance coverage than operator claims. Jim Glaser Law can review the facts and identify the coverage and parties that may apply to a passenger’s claim.

What Evidence Can Strengthen a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

Evidence in a personal injury claim can help show how a motorcycle accident occurred, respond to insurer arguments about fault, and document the full effect of the collision on the rider’s life. Some evidence may be lost or changed quickly, so preserving it early can make a meaningful difference.

Evidence From the Scene and Vehicles

Photographs and video from the scene can help capture details that may not appear in a police report. Useful evidence may include photos of vehicle positions, damage, skid marks, traffic signals, road conditions, debris, weather conditions, and visible injuries.

The condition of the motorcycle, helmet, and riding gear may also provide useful information about the force and direction of impact. Whenever possible, the motorcycle should be photographed and preserved before repairs, disposal, or modification. An inspection by a qualified professional may be needed in cases involving disputed fault, a suspected mechanical problem, or severe damage.

Other helpful evidence may include:

  • Traffic-camera or business-surveillance footage
  • Police reports
  • Names and statements from witnesses
  • Electronic data from vehicles, when available
  • Photos and video showing damage to the motorcycle and other vehicles

Evidence of Injuries and Financial Losses

A claim should document not only the collision itself, but also how the injuries have affected the rider. Medical records, bills, treatment recommendations, prescription costs, and therapy records can help show the care needed after the accident.

Pay records, employer documentation, and tax records may help establish missed work and reduced earning ability. Repair estimates, invoices, and receipts can also document damage to the motorcycle, helmet, protective gear, and other personal property. Evidence of ongoing pain, physical limitations, scarring, disfigurement, or permanent impairment may be relevant when evaluating the claim.

Other Records That May Matter

The facts of the accident determine which records may be useful. Phone records may be relevant when distracted driving is suspected. Repair and maintenance records may matter if a vehicle or motorcycle defect played a role. In a commercial-vehicle case, driver logs, company policies, training records, inspection reports, and employment records may provide additional evidence.

Jim Glaser Law can review the available evidence, take steps to preserve records and footage, and build a claim that reflects what happened and the losses you have experienced.

Unfair Assumptions About Motorcyclists Can Affect a Claim

Motorcyclists are sometimes blamed for an accident before the evidence has been fully reviewed. An insurer or other driver may claim that the rider was speeding, passing unsafely, lane splitting, or riding recklessly. Those allegations should be tested against the facts of the collision, not accepted simply because a motorcycle was involved.

A question about helmet use or another alleged rider error also doesn’t automatically decide who caused the accident. Photographs, surveillance footage, vehicle data, witness accounts, road evidence, and qualified inspections may show whether the other driver failed to yield, changed lanes unsafely, was distracted, or otherwise caused the collision.

Attorney Jim Glaser builds motorcycle accident claims around the available evidence. That means reviewing the scene, vehicles, records, and witness information to address unfair assumptions and present a clear account of what happened.

Can You Recover Compensation if You Were Partly at Fault?

Yes. Massachusetts uses a comparative negligence rule. You may be able to recover compensation if you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. However, the amount of compensation available is reduced by your share of responsibility. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you generally can’t recover damages from the other responsible party.

For example, if your total damages are $100,000 and you are found to be 20% at fault, the recovery would be reduced by $20,000, leaving $80,000. Under Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 231, Section 85, a rider’s alleged traffic violation is evidence that may be considered, but it doesn’t automatically prevent recovery.

Insurance companies may try to assign more blame to a motorcyclist than the evidence supports. Jim Glaser Law can examine allegations about rider conduct, identify evidence that affects fault, and explain how comparative negligence may apply to your claim.

What Factors Affect Motorcycle Accident Compensation?

There is no reliable “average” motorcycle accident settlement. The value of a claim depends on the specific facts, including the rider’s injuries, the available insurance coverage, the strength of the evidence, and the parties responsible for the accident.

The nature and long-term effects of an injury can affect the compensation that may be available. Relevant considerations often include:

  • The severity of the injuries and expected recovery
  • Past and future medical care, including surgery, rehabilitation, medication, and assistive care
  • Lost income during recovery
  • Reduced earning ability when injuries limit a person’s ability to work in the future
  • Pain and suffering
  • Permanent impairment, scarring, or disfigurement

Medical records, treatment recommendations, employment records, and other documentation can help show the full effect of the accident.

The facts of the collision and the insurance coverage available can also affect a claim. Important factors may include:

  • Damage to the motorcycle, helmet, and riding equipment
  • Available bodily injury liability, uninsured motorist, underinsured motorist, Medical Payments, and other coverage
  • The strength of the evidence showing fault
  • Whether the rider is found partly at fault
  • Whether more than 1 person or company may be liable

Jim Glaser Law can review the evidence, available insurance policies, and documented losses to provide a case-specific assessment.

How Long Do You Have To File a Motorcycle Accident Claim in Massachusetts?

Many Massachusetts personal injury lawsuits must be filed within 3 years of the date the accident took place. Missing the applicable deadline can prevent you from filing a lawsuit, so it’s wise to have the case reviewed as soon as possible.

The right deadline depends on the facts of the accident and the parties involved. Special rules may apply in several situations:

  • Government claims: If a city, town, state agency, or other public employer may be responsible for a dangerous roadway or other condition, a written claim generally must be presented to the appropriate public employer within 2 years. A lawsuit is generally subject to a 3-year deadline (M.G.L., Chapter 258, Section 4).
  • Wrongful death claims: When a motorcycle accident results in a fatality, the deceased person’s family may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim through the estate’s executor or administrator. These claims involve their own procedures, damages, and deadlines. Jim Glaser Law represents families pursuing wrongful death claims after fatal motorcycle accidents and can explain the process during a free consultation (M.G.L., Chapter 229, Section 2).
  • Claims involving minors: The filing period may be affected when the injured person was a minor at the time the right to bring a claim arose (M.G,L., Chapter 260, Section 7).
  • Other exceptions: The applicable deadline can also change based on the type of claim, the parties involved, and other facts.

Evidence can disappear well before a filing deadline. Traffic-camera footage may be overwritten, witnesses may become harder to locate, and the motorcycle may be repaired or disposed of. Jim Glaser Law can review the facts, identify time-sensitive steps, and explain the deadlines that may apply to your case.

How Long Can a Motorcycle Accident Claim Take?

No responsible lawyer can promise exactly how long a motorcycle accident claim will take. Every case moves at a different pace, and rushing a claim before it’s ready can mean settling for less than it’s worth.

Several factors tend to affect the timeline:

  • Medical treatment and prognosis. A claim is generally easier to value once a rider has reached maximum medical improvement or has a clear picture of future care needs. Settling too early, before the full extent of an injury is known, can leave money on the table.
  • The number of liable parties. A claim involving a single driver may resolve differently than one involving a commercial vehicle, a government entity, or a product defect, where multiple insurers or legal theories are involved.
  • Insurance coverage disputes. Disagreements over which policies apply, available limits, or whether uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage is triggered can add time to a claim.
  • The availability of records and evidence. Obtaining police reports, medical records, employment documentation, and any available video or vehicle data takes time, particularly when multiple sources are involved.
  • Disagreement about fault or damages. When an insurer disputes how the accident happened or challenges the value of the losses claimed, resolving a case can take longer than a claim where liability is clear.
  • Whether a lawsuit becomes necessary. Some claims resolve through negotiation. Others require filing suit and proceeding through litigation, which generally extends the timeline but may be necessary to secure fair compensation.

Jim Glaser Law keeps clients informed at each stage of their case and works toward a resolution supported by the evidence, rather than accepting a quick settlement that doesn’t reflect the full value of the claim.

Massachusetts Motorcycle Laws That May Affect an Injury Claim

Massachusetts has specific rules for motorcycle operators and passengers. A violation of one of these laws doesn’t automatically decide who caused an accident, but it can become part of the insurance company’s argument about fault. The sections below summarize the main categories, with links to official state resources for the full requirements:

Rider and Passenger Safety Rules

Massachusetts requires all motorcycle operators and passengers to wear an approved helmet, regardless of age or riding experience. Riders must also wear eye protection unless the motorcycle has a windshield, and any passenger must have a proper seat and footrests.

Full requirements are available through the Massachusetts RMV Motorcycle Manual.

Road-Use and Licensing Rules

Motorcyclists are subject to the same lane-use and passing laws as other drivers, along with rules specific to motorcycles, and must hold a valid motorcycle license or endorsement to operate legally.

Massachusetts doesn’t permit “lane splitting”, or operating a motorcycle between lanes of traffic or between adjacent rows of vehicles. Insurers sometimes raise the issue of lane splitting to argue a rider was at fault, even when it didn’t contribute to the collision. Whether an alleged violation actually affected how an accident happened is a question of evidence, not assumption.

Insurance and Inspection Requirements

Massachusetts law requires motorcycle owners to carry insurance and have their motorcycle pass an annual safety inspection.

A cited violation of a safety, licensing, or equipment law, such as riding without a helmet or a lapsed inspection, doesn’t automatically resolve fault or bar an injury claim. Jim Glaser Law can review how any alleged violation may affect a specific case.

How Jim Glaser Law Handles Motorcycle Accident Claims

Jim Glaser Law approaches every motorcycle accident case the same way: by building a claim around the evidence, not assumptions about who was at fault.

We begin by reviewing the details of the collision and identifying the insurance coverage that may apply, including health insurance, Medical Payments coverage, and any bodily injury, uninsured motorist, or underinsured motorist coverage that could come into play. From there, we work to preserve evidence and obtain records before they are lost (e.g., photographs, surveillance or traffic-camera footage, police reports, witness statements, and, when relevant, vehicle data or maintenance records).

At the same time, we identify every party who may share responsibility for the accident, whether that’s another driver, a commercial vehicle’s employer, a property owner, or a manufacturer. We document the full scope of the losses involved, including medical treatment, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and damage to the motorcycle and riding gear.

Once the claim is built, we communicate directly with the insurance companies involved and negotiate a settlement demand supported by the evidence we’ve gathered. If an insurer won’t offer a fair resolution, Jim Glaser Law is prepared to file suit and pursue the case in court.

Throughout the process, there is no upfront cost to work with our firm. The consultation is free, and you pay no fee unless we recover compensation for you.

Motorcycle Accident FAQs

You may have a case if another person or business’s negligence contributed to your accident, for example, a driver who turned in front of you, changed lanes without checking, or was distracted or impaired. The only way to know for certain is to have the facts of your collision reviewed. Jim Glaser Law offers a free consultation to evaluate what happened and explain your options.

Yes. A driver saying they didn’t see a motorcycle isn’t a defense. It may actually support your claim, since drivers have a duty to look carefully for motorcyclists before turning, changing lanes, or pulling into traffic. Evidence such as the driver’s line of sight, road conditions, and traffic patterns can help show whether the motorcycle was there to be seen.

If the at-fault driver has no insurance, or can’t be identified after a hit-and-run, your own uninsured motorist coverage may apply. Jim Glaser Law can review your policy and any other available coverage to identify potential sources of compensation.

Not wearing a helmet doesn’t automatically prevent you from recovering compensation. Massachusetts follows a comparative negligence rule, and an insurer may try to use a helmet issue to argue you share some fault, but that argument must still be weighed against the evidence of how the accident happened and what caused your injuries.

Generally, no, not without having the offer reviewed first. Insurance companies often make an initial offer before the full extent of your injuries and losses is known, and accepting it can prevent you from seeking more later, even if your damages turn out to be greater. Jim Glaser Law can help ensure an offer reflects the value of your claim.

It may still help to speak with a lawyer. Some injuries, such as soft-tissue damage or a concussion, aren’t obvious right away, and property damage claims can also involve disputes over fault or valuation. A free consultation can help you understand whether you have a claim beyond the repair costs.
