What Damages May Be Available After a Motorcycle Crash in Merrimac, MA?

People injured in a motorcycle crash in Merrimac, MA, may be able to seek compensation for losses caused by another party’s negligence. Depending on the circumstances, damages may include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses related to the injuries.

Medical damages may include emergency care, hospital treatment, medication, rehabilitation, follow-up appointments, and other reasonable treatment expenses. An injured motorcyclist may also seek compensation for income lost because of time away from work and, in appropriate cases, reduced future earning capacity.

Massachusetts law places a specific requirement on claims for pain and suffering arising from motor vehicle use. Under M.G.L. Chapter 231, § 6D, those damages generally require reasonable and necessary treatment expenses to exceed $2,000, unless an exception applies, such as a fracture, death, permanent and serious disfigurement, or certain serious losses of sight or hearing.

Property losses may include motorcycle repairs or the value of a motorcycle that cannot be repaired. Evidence such as medical records, photographs, repair estimates, wage documentation, and witness statements can help document the losses.

Comparative negligence can also affect recovery. Under M.G.L. Chapter 231, § 85, damages may be reduced according to the injured person’s percentage of negligence when applicable.

A motorcycle accident lawyer can help organize records and communicate with insurance companies during the claims process. An attorney may also identify additional documentation that could be useful when evaluating the injured person's potential claim.
