Contact us today to schedule a free legal consultation.
Many minor motorcycle accident claims are straightforward. You will file a claim with your insurance company and receive benefits. Others, however, are more complex and difficult to resolve as a client. You may need to hire a lawyer for assistance if you have serious or debilitating injuries, expensive medical bills, a liability dispute, or if an insurance company is refusing to offer fair compensation. A lawyer could help you by collecting evidence of fault, taking over conversations with insurance companies, negotiating for a fair settlement and/or taking your claim to court in Middlesex County. Your lawyer can handle all the legwork of your motorcycle accident claim while you concentrate on healing.
Many motorcyclists do not realize their actions immediately following a crash can have a major impact on the future of their injury claims. It is critical to take the correct steps if you wish to recover fair and full compensation for your damages.

Obey all state motorcycle laws. Ride on the correct side of the road and do not lane-split. Yield the right-of-way when necessary and obey traffic signs. Look out for negligent or reckless drivers.
