Massachusetts Bicycle Laws and Lawsuits (Part B)

Ultimately, Massachusetts bicycle laws exist to protect you rather than constrain you. If you have been injured in an accident, you may still have a solid case in court, even if you weren't following all of the required traffic laws. This is because breaking the law may not always render you the negligent party.

Lawsuits and Bicycle Accidents in Massachusetts

Most bicycle accidents in Massachusetts (and elsewhere) occur from collisions with motor vehicles. The responsibility is nearly always placed on the driver of the motor vehicle. This gives you, as a bicyclist, some leeway when it comes to seeking compensation for your injuries.

There's no doubt that injuries incurred from accidents between bicycles and motor vehicles can be extremely damaging to bicycle riders. Depending on the nature of the accident, you may end up facing a long road to recovery. Some injuries may even be permanently disabling.

These bicycle accident injuries often require long-term medical care, especially if you suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or other condition that requires rehabilitation and physical therapy. The costs of these treatments can be astounding, and if the bicycle accident itself was not your fault, it should not be your responsibility to pay for those medical bills.

Pursuing a Massachusetts Personal Injury Lawsuit

If you were seriously injured and require extensive medical care for your injuries, and/or you've lost significant time from work as a result of your Massachusetts bicycle accident, you may be able to recover compensation from the driver who struck you by filing a Massachusetts personal injury lawsuit. Even if your actions were found to have contributed to your bicycle accident, you can still seek damages if the driver was 51% or more responsible for your crash.

The Massachusetts personal injury attorneys at Phillips & Garcia will fight for your rights in your personal injury case. We are committed to protecting your best interests and helping you collect the damages you need and deserve to move on with your life.
