How Do Massachusetts Laws Protect Motorcyclists Injured by Another Driver in Princeton, MA?

Massachusetts law generally requires drivers to watch for and yield to motorcyclists the same way they would any other vehicle, and a motorcyclist injured by a driver's failure to do so can pursue a claim in Princeton just as a car occupant would. 

Motorcyclists tend to face more severe injuries than occupants of a car involved in the same type of collision, since they have far less physical protection. Leg and lower-body injuries, in particular, are common when a motorcycle is struck or forced to lay down to avoid a worse outcome.

Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule, in which a motorcyclist can still recover damages even if partly at fault, as long as their share of responsibility stays below 51 percent. A motorcycle accident lawyer can help a motorcyclist push back against insurers' assumptions that motorcyclists are automatically more at fault simply because of the type of vehicle they were riding.
