Riding Rough? How a Massachusetts Motorcycle Accident Attorney Can Help

May 29, 2025

Every motorcyclist knows the thrill of cruising through the scenic roads of Massachusetts—from the Berkshires to Cape Cod. But when a motorcycle accident disrupts your life, the aftermath can feel overwhelming. Medical bills pile up, your bike may be totaled, and insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. That’s where an experienced Massachusetts motorcycle accident attorney can step in to help you reclaim control of your life and finances.

Why Motorcycle Accidents Are Different

Motorcycle accidents are inherently more dangerous than car crashes. With little physical protection, riders often suffer severe injuries, including broken bones, spinal damage, and traumatic brain injuries. According to recent MassDOT data, motorcycle accidents account for a disproportionately high number of traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries in the state.

These cases demand more than a general personal injury approach. You need a legal team that understands motorcycle culture, traffic dynamics, and the biases riders face from both insurers and juries.

How Kiley Law Group Fights for Massachusetts Riders

For over 50 years, Kiley Law Group has been a trusted ally for motorcycle accident victims across Massachusetts. Our firm has recovered over $1 billion for clients, including a $2,000,000 win in a motorcycle collision case. This isn’t just about numbers—it’s about justice, accountability, and helping victims rebuild their lives.

With hundreds of five-star testimonials from satisfied clients, we’ve built our reputation on personalized support, compassionate communication, and fierce legal representation.

Key Ways a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Can Help

1. Investigate the Crash

We dig deep into police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness statements to uncover the truth behind your accident.

2. Deal with Insurance Companies

Insurers often try to blame riders or offer lowball settlements. We push back, ensuring you’re treated fairly and compensated fully.

3. Maximize Your Compensation

Beyond medical expenses, we fight for lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical care, especially important for long-term injuries.

4. Provide Peace of Mind

While you focus on healing, our legal team handles all the paperwork, phone calls, and negotiations.

Why Timing Matters

Massachusetts has a strict statute of limitations for personal injury claims—generally three years from the date of the accident. Waiting too long can make it harder to gather evidence or even file a claim at all. The sooner you call, the stronger your case can be.

Real Results, Real Riders

One of our standout victories involved a motorcyclist struck by a negligent driver who ran a red light. The rider suffered multiple fractures and required extensive rehabilitation. Kiley Law Group fought hard and secured a $2 million settlement—money that helped cover medical costs, lost income, and more.

We’ve seen the impact these accidents have, and we’ve seen what strong legal action can achieve.

Q&A: Massachusetts Motorcycle Accidents & Legal Help

Q: What should I do immediately after a motorcycle accident?
A: First, get medical attention—even if you feel okay. Then, report the crash to police, gather evidence (photos, contact info, etc.), and avoid discussing fault with anyone. Finally, contact an attorney as soon as possible.

Q: How much does it cost to hire Kiley Law Group?
A: We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case.

Q: Can I still file a claim if I wasn’t wearing a helmet?
A: Yes. Massachusetts law requires helmets, but not wearing one does not prevent you from filing a claim. However, it may affect how damages are assessed depending on your injuries.

Q: How long will my case take?
A: Every case is different. Some settle in months, while others take longer, especially if they go to trial. We’ll give you an honest timeline based on the specifics of your case.

Q: Will I have to go to court?
A: Not always. Many motorcycle accident claims settle outside of court. But if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we’re prepared to take your case to trial.
