What Is Your Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth?

If another driver was fully or partially at fault, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Property damage and motorcycle repairs

• Emergency and ongoing medical expenses

• Lost wages and loss of future income

• Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma

• Scarring or permanent disability

• Wrongful death damages for surviving family members

The severity and duration of your injuries play a key role in calculating your case value. Broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, or spinal damage can lead to substantially higher settlements.

Our Connecticut and Massachusetts motorcycle accident lawyers know how to prove pain and suffering, negotiate with insurance adjusters, and secure full compensation for your losses.

Connecticut & Massachusetts Motorcycle Insurance Requirements

In both CT and MA, motorcycle riders must carry a minimum of $25,000/$50,000 in liability coverage.
However, because many crashes involve underinsured or uninsured drivers, we strongly recommend additional underinsurance coverage.

Our team helps you identify:

• Which insurance policies apply

• How to file claims for maximum recovery

• What benefits you may qualify for under state laws

We’ll walk you through your policy and make sure you understand your legal rights to compensation.

Is It Hard to Prove a Motorcycle Accident Case?

Motorcycle accident cases in Connecticut and Massachusetts can be challenging. Insurance companies often argue that the rider was at fault because they were “hard to see.”

Our firm pushes back against these biases using:

• Police reports and eyewitness statements

• Accident reconstruction specialists

• Medical and economic experts

We’ve successfully handled hundreds of New Haven and Springfield motorcycle crash claims, recovering full compensation for our clients.

Fatal Motorcycle Accidents & Wrongful Death Claims

If your loved one was tragically killed in a motorcycle crash, surviving family members may file a wrongful death lawsuit.
You may be entitled to compensation for:

• Funeral and burial expenses

• Medical costs before death

• Lost future income

• Pain and suffering of the deceased

• Loss of companionship and support

Our compassionate legal team will guide your family through this difficult process and fight to hold negligent drivers accountable.

Defective Motorcycle & Parts Claims

Sometimes, a crash is caused not by another driver — but by a defective motorcycle or part.
We investigate cases involving:

• Faulty brakes, tires, or electrical systems

• Handlebar and fuel line defects

• Faulty headlights or turn signals

• Mechanic or garage negligence

Our firm works with mechanical experts to identify manufacturing defects and pursue claims against manufacturers, distributors, or service providers.

FAQ – Motorcycle Accident Claims in CT & MA

Q1: How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim?

• Connecticut: 2 years from the date of the accident (per CGS § 52-584).

• Massachusetts: 3 years (per MGL c.260 § 2A).
  Filing quickly preserves vital evidence and strengthens your case.

Q2: What if I was partly at fault?

Both CT and MA follow modified comparative negligence laws. You can still recover compensation as long as you’re less than 50% (CT) or 51% (MA) at fault.

Q3: What if the other driver has no insurance?

Your underinsured/uninsured motorist coverage may cover medical bills and lost wages. Our attorneys can help file these claims correctly.

Q4: Should I talk to the insurance company?

No — not before consulting a lawyer. Insurers aim to minimize payouts. Let our attorneys handle all communication to protect your rights.

Q5: How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case.
