How Comparative Negligence Can Affect a Motorcycle Accident Claim in Canton, MA

Comparative negligence can affect how much compensation a motorcyclist may recover after a motorcycle accident in Canton, MA. Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule under Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 231, § 85. An injured motorcyclist may recover damages when their negligence is not greater than the combined negligence of the parties against whom recovery is sought. However, any damages awarded are reduced in proportion to the motorcyclist’s percentage of fault.

For example, if a motorcyclist has $100,000 in damages and is found 20% responsible for a motorcycle accident, the recoverable damages could be reduced to $80,000. If the motorcyclist’s negligence is greater than the combined negligence of the defendants, recovery is barred under the statute. In a motorcycle accident involving multiple vehicles, fault may be divided among several parties.

Evidence such as crash reports, photographs, witness statements, traffic-camera footage, vehicle damage, and available motorcycle records may help establish how fault should be assigned. A motorcyclist involved in a Canton accident should understand how comparative negligence could affect a potential personal injury claim before accepting a settlement or pursuing legal action.
