Jany was extremely helpful with getting the process started.
I went into this aimless and not really knowing where to go or who to speak to and she worked with me and my off schedule to make sure she got in contact with me and got the information needed. First impressions are everything and through her I feel stress has been lifted and I’ve chosen the right people to represent me. Thank you!

Why Are Bicycle Accidents a Serious Problem in Worcester?
When bicyclists are involved in an accident, they are more likely to suffer severe injuries or death because of the lack of protection they have compared to cars, trucks, or buses. In Worcester, inadequate infrastructure and unsafe roads are major contributors to serious bicycle accidents. The following are some key facts about bicycle accidents and infrastructure in Worcester and Massachusetts:
- According to a 2024 report by the Worcester Regional Research Bureau, there were 184 crashes involving pedestrians or cyclists yearly in the city from 2012 through 2019. These incidents accounted for more than 47% of all fatal collisions during that time period.
- As of 2024, Worcester had only 7.2 miles of bike lanes on the streets and 3.4 miles of off-street paths.
- Many bike accidents happen on arterial roadways, which are high-capacity, high-speed roads meant for long-distance travel, as opposed to local streets. According to MassDOT, 37% of non-intersection crashes in the state between 2016 and 2020 occurred on principal arterial roadways.
Common causes of bike accidents include the following:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding and reckless driving
- Failure to yield
- Driving under the influence
- Poor road conditions
- Lack of visibility
- Defective bicycles and bike parts
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Worcester Bicycle Accident?
Depending on the circumstances, various parties may be liable for a bicycle accident, including the following:
- Drivers: Motorists can be liable if their actions or inactions while driving caused or contributed to the crash. Common driver negligence that causes accidents includes driving under the influence, driving distracted, or violating traffic laws.
- Other cyclists and pedestrians: Similar to motorists, if the actions or inactions of another bicyclist or pedestrian caused an accident, they could be held responsible for the resulting damages.
- Bicycle or parts manufacturers: A manufacturer could be held responsible if a defective bicycle or vehicle part caused the accident.
- Local government: Municipalities and local government agencies are responsible for maintaining roadways, traffic signals, and signage. If the failure to properly maintain any of these elements contributed to the accident, they could be liable for a bicycle accident.
Determining responsibility in a bicycle accident case can be complicated. At Rob Levine Law, our car accident lawyers will thoroughly investigate your case to identify all parties at fault and work to hold them accountable.
How Can You Prove the Driver Was Negligent in a Worcester Bicycle Accident Case?
Each bike accident involves unique circumstances. However, one aspect remains constant: to successfully prove a bicycle accident claim, you must demonstrate that someone else’s actions or omissions caused the accident and led to your injuries. Evidence that can help strengthen your case includes the following:
- Photos and video of the accident scene
- Photos of injuries sustained
- Witness statements
- Police reports
- Video footage from traffic cameras, dash cameras, and business security cameras
- Medical records that connect your injuries to the accident
- Medical bills and other records of expenses relating to your recovery
- Documentation of lost or reduced income
An insurer may attempt to limit or reduce its liability for a bicycle accident by downplaying the claimant’s injuries or damages, or even shifting the blame onto the injured party. An experienced bike accident attorney will anticipate these tactics and counter them to negotiate for the full and fair compensation you deserve.
What Damages Can You Get Compensation for in a Worcester Bicycle Accident Case?
If you’ve been injured in a bicycle crash, you can pursue compensation for various forms of damages, including:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages and income
- Lost earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage, including repair or replacement of your bicycle
Our team is committed to helping you navigate the complexities of bicycle accident claims. We will work tirelessly to ensure you receive fair and just compensation for your injuries.
Massachusetts’ statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically three years from the date of the injury. If you miss this deadline, the court will likely dismiss your case, and you will lose your right to seek compensation.
