Some common causes of motorcycle accidents in Massachusetts are quite frankly the biggest one is that drivers who didn’t see the motorcycle, they make left-hand turns in front of the oncoming bikes and that’s often devastating. Dooring’s a huge problem in Boston in Cambridge especially when parked drivers open a door in front of a bike lane. Road hazards that cars handle fine without a problem, such as potholes or sand, wet leaves, can be deadly for motorcycles.
Another big issue is distracted driving’s made things worse. Drivers on phones simply don’t register when motorcycles are around them. Speed differential situations where traffic suddenly slows down on a highway can often cause rear-end collisions. Each cause requires us to create different legal strategies and evidence gathering.
