Motorcycle Accident Lawyer & Boston Motorcycle Injury Attorney

How Much Does an Experienced Boston Motorcycle Accident Injury Lawyer Cost?

As a motorcycle accident lawyer who has successfully represented injured Bostonians for over two decades, attorney Tim Lowney understands how physically and financially devastating motorcycle accidents can be.  He and our firm represent injury victims and their families on a contingency fee basis. This means we only receive a fee if compensation is secured on a client’s behalf.

Our firm also advances litigation expenses while a case is ongoing (which are typically fully covered by a settlement or jury award). Thus when you retain our firm, you will not have to worry about paying for litigation costs while your case is ongoing.

Are Motorcyclists and Bikers Required to Wear Helmets in Massachusetts?

Yes.

Massachusetts has one of the most stringent helmet laws in the country. In Massachusetts, motorcyclists and their passengers are required to wear state-approved helmets and protective headgear. Motorcyclists must also obtain appropriate training and licensing through the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. Even if a rider complies with these rules and operates the vehicle in a safe manner, however, many drivers often ignore motorcycles.

At Lowney Law, dedicated motorcycle injury lawyer Tim Lowney is committed to protecting the interests of motorcyclists, regardless of whether they were wearing a helmet at the time of an accident. If you or a loved one was injured in a motorcycle crash, we invite you to call our office to schedule a free consultation to learn more about how we can tenaciously fight for justice and maximum compensation.

Can I Sue for Damages in a Massachusetts Motorcycle Case if I Wasn’t Wearing a Helmet?

Yes.  While you may receive a ticket if you weren’t wearing a helmet, this does not affect your ability to bring a lawsuit if you were hit by a reckless driver.  The driver may argue that your injuries might not have occurred or might not have been as severe if you wore a helmet; thus it’s possible that your damages may be less if this is the case.

For example, if you weren’t wearing a helmet and you suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), the driver might argue that you were partially responsible for your injuries.  These circumstances are based on facts and what can be proven at trial.

How Can an Injured Motorcyclist Prove Fault and Secure Compensation After Suffering a Motorcycle Injury in Boston?

A negligence case based on any type of motor vehicle accident requires a showing that the defendant breached his or her duty to drive with the care that a reasonable person would use in the same circumstances. A breach can occur in many different ways, such as failing to yield at an intersection, running a red light, illegal lane changes, or texting behind the wheel. The victim must also prove that the defendant’s breach was the direct cause of his or her injuries and that he or she incurred actual damages as a result.

Proving negligence in a motorcycle accident can be challenging; however, when you seek legal guidance from an experienced motorcycle accident attorney, you do not have to worry about facing legal obstacles alone. As a motorcycle crash lawyer with over two decades of experience, Timothy Lowney can discuss the circumstances surrounding your injuries and build a compelling case designed to clearly demonstrate negligence on the part of an at-fault driver.

What Types of Damages Are Recoverable After a Boston Motorcycle Crash?

Many motorcyclists suffer serious and catastrophic injuries during collisions due to the limited protection they have against other vehicles. These accidents may require extensive medical attention and often lead to long-term physical therapy and care. Injury victims may be entitled to damages that cover expenses related to their inability to work, including lost wages and loss of future earning capacity, as well as hospital bills and the costs of future treatment. Subjective harm, such as the pain and suffering experienced in an accident, also may be compensated if a victim succeeds in a negligence claim.

As a Boston motorcycle injury lawyer, Tim can listen to the facts of your case, identify all liable parties, and meticulously account for all compensable losses and damages. Then, he can zealously advocate for the full and fair compensation to which you and your family are rightfully entitled.
