Motorcycle Accidents in Massachusetts

Motorcycle accidents in Massachusetts often result in serious or even fatal injuries due to the limited protection riders have compared to enclosed vehicles. In 2024, hundreds of riders were injured across the state, many in high-speed or highway collisions. These incidents are especially dangerous on interstates like I-95 where speeds are elevated and traffic is dense. The summer months tend to see an increase in motorcycle travel, making awareness and caution more important than ever.

Let’s take a look at some of the most common injuries associated with motorcycle crashes:

• Traumatic Brain Injuries: Even with helmets, motorcyclists can suffer concussions or more severe brain injuries. These can lead to long-term impairments affecting memory, concentration, and mobility.

• Spinal Cord Damage: A fall or hard impact can damage the spine, resulting in temporary or permanent paralysis. Such injuries often require long-term care and rehabilitation.

• Fractures: Arms, legs, ribs, and collarbones are particularly vulnerable. Surgery, casts, and extended recovery periods are common following high-impact collisions.

• Internal Bleeding: Internal injuries may not be obvious at first, making them especially dangerous. Quick medical intervention is vital to address organ damage or bleeding.

• Severe Road Rash: When riders slide across the pavement, they often suffer serious abrasions. Deep wounds can lead to infection or require skin grafts.
