How Are E-Bike Injury Claims Handled in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts law gives people riding qualifying electric bicycles many of the same rights and responsibilities that apply to people riding regular bicycles. Drivers also have a duty to operate their vehicles safely around people using bicycles and other vulnerable road users.

If an injured person is partly responsible for an accident, their compensation can be reduced based on their percentage of fault because of Massachusetts’ comparative negligence rule. 

However, a person generally cannot recover damages if their own fault is greater than the combined fault of the other parties. 

When an e-bike rider is hit by a vehicle, the key issue is whether the driver's actions caused the crash. Evidence such as photographs, witness statements, traffic-camera footage, vehicle damage, and the police report may help show what happened. 

When the facts are disputed, a personal injury lawyer can review the crash evidence, medical records, and insurance information to determine how Massachusetts law may apply to each case.
