MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

All drivers face risks on the road, but motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable. Motorcyclists don’t have the benefit of an automobile equipped with airbags and seatbelts to protect them when another driver collides into them. After a collision, many motorcycle riders are thrown through the air, or onto a windshield or onto the ground. At Morgan & Murphy we have represented many severely injured motorcycle riders over the years and have assisted them in recovering damages for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, bodily disfigurement and the like (please see Damages section of this website).

Accidents involving motorcycles tend to cause more severe injuries than car-to-car accidents. While the use of helmets and leather clothing can help prevent serious head injuries and road rash, motorcyclists remain more vulnerable than car accident victims to scarring, disfigurement, amputations, head injuries, lacerations and even death.

If you are injured in a motorcycle accident, it is important to consult an experienced Massachusetts motorcycle accident attorney in order to learn about and protect your legal rights. In most cases, motorcyclists have fewer insurance coverage options than motorists injured in car accidents. PIP no-fault benefits typically cover medical bills and lost wages are not available under motorcycle insurance policies. Therefore the insurance coverage you have on your car provides far more benefits than the insurance you can buy for your motorcycle, and your car insurance policy will not cover you for injuries sustained as a result of a motorcycle accident. As such, it is important to purchase optional medical payments, Part 6, under your own motorcycle insurance policy. Morgan & Murphy recommends that you speak with your agent today about purchasing medical payments for your motorcycle.

Since your no-fault insurance options are few if you are injured in a motorcycle accident, it is important that you seek a legal opinion from an experienced Massachusetts motorcycle accident attorney. We can assist you in getting your medical bills paid, obtaining money for your pain and suffering and getting you back on the road. Call today for a free consultation. It is important to know your rights before dealing with an insurance company.
