About Massachusetts Motorcycle Accident Laws

Our motorcycle accident lawyers serve clients throughout Massachusetts, providing the exceptional, committed legal counsel they need after sustaining a motorcycle accident injury. When you secure our services, you can rest assured that you will receive legal representation of the highest possible standard.

Motorcycle Accident Laws

When a motorcyclist is injured in a motorcycle collision, and the accident was caused by another party’s negligence, motorcycle accident law allows the victim to seek damages for his or her injuries by filing a motorcycle accident claim. Depending on the cause of the accident and on state law, a number of parties can be held liable for a motorcycle accident injury – for example, the designer, manufacturer, or distributor of a defective automotive or motorcycle part (per product liability law); the party responsible for maintaining safe road conditions; the motorist with whom the motorcyclist crashed; and even the injured motorcyclist himself or herself. When the victim can prove the fault of the responsible party, the victim may obtain a jury award or settlement compensating his or her medical expenses and other financial losses caused by the accident.

If you or a loved one has suffered injury in a motorcycle crash, contact Proner & Proner to schedule a free consultation with one of our motorcycle accident lawyers. We serve clients throughout Massachusetts.

State Motorcycle Accident Laws

Every state has laws that define the victim’s rights, and the particulars of those rights vary state to state. Motorcycle accident laws in Massachusetts include:

Helmet Laws

Massachusetts motorcycle accident statistics are clear: wearing a helmet is correlated with surviving a motorcycle accident and preventing wrongful death. State law includes a universal helmet law, which mandates that riders of all ages wear a helmet while riding. The universality of the law distinguishes Massachusetts from states that do not have helmet laws and from states that only require riders under a certain age to wear a helmet.

Other Pertinent Personal Injury Laws

State personal injury laws affect the filing of a motorcycle accident claim. Personal injury laws in Massachusetts include:

Statute of limitations – The time limit, or statute of limitations, for filing a motorcycle accident claim (or another type of personal injury lawsuit) is three years from the date of the accident. The time limit for filing a property damage claim (i.e. seeking compensation for damage to one’s motorcycle) is also three years, as is the limit for filing a product liability claim (i.e. seeking damages for a motorcycle accident injury caused by a product defect). After the statute of limitations passes, the victim may not seek damages or obtain a settlement.

Contributory negligence – Massachusetts motorcycle accident law does not bar a victim who is partially responsible for his or her injuries (thus having contributory negligence) from obtaining damages (as long as the victim’s liability is not greater than the other liable party or parties). The law does, however, require that the victim’s settlement be in proportion to his or her degree of fault.
