The warm weather is (hopefully) upon us soon and that means that motorcycle riders will be breaking out their bikes for the season. Signs on highways across Massachusetts and Rhode Islands are warning us to “share the road” and “watch for motorcycles.” It is important for vehicle operators and bike riders alike to share the responsibility of safety. Drivers are not accustomed to looking for motorcycles which because of their small size can often sneak into blind spots and go unseen on the open road.
Motorcycle accidents are obviously very serious. A motorcycle rider is completely unprotected and can suffer devastating injuries when struck by a motor vehicle. Severe injuries from motorcycle accidents include head injuries, fractures, internal injuries, scarring, and even death. Similar to other personal injury claims, a motorcycle accident victim is entitled to: past and future medical expenses (including surgery if necessary); past and future lost wages or loss of earning capacity; and, pain and suffering.
My office has a great deal of experience with motorcycle accidents and understands the complexity of such claims. I understand that serious accidents and injuries require an aggressive attorney to devote time and attention to the case to ensure that you obtain every penny to which you are entitled.
If you or a friend or family member has been involved in a motorcycle accident, contact my office right away for a free consultation. There is no fee unless we obtain money for you. Home or hospital visits are always available.
