Comparative negligence rules apply to bicycle accident cases in Massachusetts. If negligent behavior exhibited by both parties contributed to the accident, compensation recovery could be more difficult. You can help protect yourself from being at fault by following traffic laws, using caution when passing vehicles and remaining alert of your surroundings.

Severe accidents can occur on both city roadways and residential sidewalks where traffic laws exist for and apply to both motor vehicles and pedestrians. Oftentimes a bicycle and motor vehicle could be traveling the same direction and a motor vehicle driver could turn into or cut off a bicyclist, causing any number of injuries and damages.

Compensation That Goes Beyond Immediate Medical Bills

Depending on the circumstances surrounding your bicycle accident, the at-fault party’s automobile insurance could cover a large portion of lost wages, medical bills, ambulance fees, bicycle replacement services and wrongful death claims. Homeowners insurance could also be involved if the accident was caused by negligent behavior on another person’s property.
