Moped and Motorcycle Crashes in Massachusetts

Collisions involving mopeds and motorcycles often result in serious or fatal injuries due to the lack of physical protection for riders. Even at moderate speeds, a crash with a larger

vehicle, like a pickup truck, can lead to life-threatening trauma.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, two-wheeled vehicle crashes account for a disproportionate number of roadway fatalities each year. Many of these accidents occur at intersections, where visibility issues, failure to yield, or driver inattention are common factors.

For families grieving the loss of a loved one, the emotional pain is often compounded by financial strain. Funeral expenses, medical bills, and the loss of income or household support can create overwhelming burdens. In these circumstances, filing a wrongful death claim can be an important step toward seeking accountability and financial relief. By holding the responsible party accountable, families not only gain financial support but also help promote safer driving practices and prevent future tragedies.

An experienced Massachusetts personal injury attorney can help by conducting a thorough investigation, preserving critical evidence, and working with experts to determine liability. Available compensation may include coverage for medical costs, burial expenses, lost wages, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
