So, you’ve been involved in a motorcycle accident case in Springfield, Massachusetts, and you’re wondering what your rights are. That’s a really good question. So, I wish that other drivers really were paying attention and watching out for the rider. The reality is they don’t. And so, your rights obviously are the same as if you’re in a vehicle, right? We prove that the other driver is at fault, proving negligence.
Negligence really means duty, breach, causation, and damages. Duty is obvious. The other driver owes a duty of reasonable care to follow the rules of the road. Breach means that they’ve breached that standard. Damages means that you’re injured as a result of the accident. And causation means that we connect their breach of the duty of standard of care to connect your damages.
What is it you need to do? First thing, dial 911. Second thing, make sure that you get in the rescue and go to the hospital to treat for your injuries. Third, call my law firm. Why? Number one, I’m a rider, so I understand your rights and I understand your perspective. My last motorcycle was a 2018 Harley Fat Boy, and I’ve been riding since I was riding dirt bikes as a kid. So, we understand how you feel and we understand your perspective.
So, give us a call and we’re going to fight and do everything we can to make sure we help you win your case.
