Motorcycle and Pedestrian Accidents in Boston

Busy city streets like Boylston St in Boston present unique risks for both motorcyclists and

pedestrians. Heavy traffic, multiple crosswalks, and frequent lane changes increase the chances of a collision. At night, reduced visibility can make it harder for drivers and riders to spot pedestrians in time to avoid a crash.

Motorcyclists face the danger of being thrown from their bikes during a collision, which can cause severe injuries such as broken bones, head trauma, and internal bleeding. Pedestrians struck by motorcycles are at an even greater disadvantage, with little to no protection from impact. Injuries in these cases can be life-threatening, often requiring emergency surgery and long-term rehabilitation.

Common causes of motorcycle–pedestrian accidents include drivers failing to yield, running red lights, and speeding. In urban areas, distractions—whether from phones, passengers, or surroundings—also play a major role. Weather conditions and poor lighting can add to the hazards.

After such a serious accident, victims may face significant medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma. A Massachusetts motorcycle accident lawyer can help investigate the crash, gather witness statements, and negotiate with insurance companies for fair compensation. Damages may cover hospital stays, physical therapy, lost income, and pain and suffering.

Having experienced legal representation is especially important when multiple parties are involved, as determining fault can be complex. An attorney’s role is to protect the victim’s rights and ensure they receive the support they need during recovery.
