Like other motorcycle crash lawyers in Boston, we collect 1/3 of the total settlement as our legal fee. If the case does not settle, you owe us nothing. That is called a contingency fee. We also provide guaranteed FREE, no-obligation case evaluations.
We help you pursue all damages caused by the crash. We pursue for you payment for medical bills, lost wages, damages to your motorcycle, pain and suffering, as well as other damages.
We are Massachusetts motorcycle accident lawyers that pursue for you all possible sources of compensation available to you.
We handle everything so all you need to focus on is recovering from your injuries.
We work tirelessly to ensure your case is ultimately positioned for the best possible settlement for your motorcycle accident case.
If the other vehicle(s) involved in the crash were negligent, then you have a case to pursue for money damages. You can only benefit by having a Boston motorcycle accident lawyer on your side.
Most cases settle without the need for a lawsuit to be filed. However, sometimes lawsuits need to be filed. But even if your case is filed in court, most cases settle during litigation without the need for an actual trial. The chances of your case actually going to trial are very slim.
No, neither under Massachusetts or federal law are motorcycle accident settlements taxable.
That answer depends on many different factors. Were you responsible for the motorcycle accident? What type of injuries did you sustain? Are any of the injuries permanent? How much are your medical bills? Amount of lost wages?
These are some of the questions that need answering in order to give you an accurate settlement estimate for you motorcycle crash case.
A Motorcycle crash lawyer begins by investigating the accident. Video and photos of the accident scene are secured. Photos of your injuries are also obtained.
Witnesses (assuming there are any) are contacted, and the police report is obtained. The lawyer then looks into all available insurance money available to compensate you. Proof of lost wages (if applicable), and copies of your medical records and medical bills are obtained.
Eventually, a settlement demand package will be sent to the insurance company in hopes of settling your accident case. Shortly thereafter settlement negotiations will take place with the goal of resolving the case. A settlement will be reached, and if it is not, a lawsuit will be filed.
It is important to have a qualified and experienced Boston motorcycle accident lawyer for your motorcycle accident case. The insurance company for the driver that caused the accident is solely focused on limiting your rights.
Most notably, the insurance adjuster wants to pay you as little as possible. Don’t let that happen to you.
Fight back and hire us as your Boston motorcycle accident law firm. Let us handle the claim so you don’t have to worry about the insurance company trying to limit what you are entitled to.
We have handled many different types of motorcycle crash cases in Massachusetts. We know how to achieve a fair settlement for your case.
Given how common these accidents are, and how vulnerable they are, it is important for motorcyclists to carry enough motorcycle accident insurance. Carrying quality health insurance is also critical for motorcyclists.
Unlike with cars and bicycles, PIP coverage is not available on Massachusetts motorcycle insurance policies. However, if you strike a pedestrian with your motorcycle, PIP coverage is available to that person.
I encourage you to buy for as much motorcycle insurance as you can afford. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for. That is glaringly obvious once there is an accident and the insurance needs to be utilized.
You should purchase plenty of Medical Payments insurance coverage. Medical Payments will provide additional medical coverage that will pay for the reasonable and necessary medical bills caused by the crash.
It is quite inexpensive to purchase high Medical Payments limits, as well as high underinsured motorist limits.
You may also make a claim for pain and suffering with the insurance company for the driver that caused the accident. Many car owners have only limited liability policies.
The required minimum bodily injury liability insurance in Massachusetts is only $20,000. That is generally woefully insufficient to adequately compensate an injured motorcyclist.
It therefore makes sense to make sure you purchase plenty of underinsured motorist coverage. This insurance is quite cheap and provides financial protection to you.
This is insurance you can turn to if the driver who caused the crash has insufficient bodily injury liability insurance to cover your injuries.
