At The Law Offices of Jason M. Ranallo, P.C., we help injured riders throughout Massachusetts fight for maximum financial recovery. Here’s what you need to know.

Unlike standard auto policies, motorcycle insurance does not automatically include PIP benefits. This means:

• Medical bills may only be partially covered unless you’ve added optional Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage or have private health insurance.
• Lost wages often require a liability claim against the at-fault driver.
• You may need to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover your full damages.

This gap in coverage makes working with a motorcycle accident lawyer critical after a crash.

You may pursue a personal injury claim if:

• Your medical expenses exceed $2,000, or
• You’ve suffered serious injuries, including:
• Fractures
• Permanent scarring or disfigurement
• Loss of a body part, vision, or hearing

Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule: if you’re less than 51% at fault, you can recover damages, though your award is reduced by your fault percentage.

Potential Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Victims

With experienced legal representation, you may recover:

• Medical expenses not covered by insurance
• Lost wages and future earning losses
• Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life
• Rehabilitation and long-term care costs
• Motorcycle repair or replacement costs
• Punitive damages in cases of reckless or drunk driving

Jason Ranallo fights to ensure no avenue for compensation is overlooked.

You generally have three years from the date of the motorcycle accident to file a lawsuit in Massachusetts. If a government vehicle or entity is involved, strict notice requirements may apply within a few months. Missing these deadlines can cost you your right to recover damages.

• Call 911 immediately and get medical help.
• Move to safety if possible.
• Call the police to document the crash.
• Exchange information with other drivers and collect witness details.
• Take photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and injuries.
• Avoid admitting fault or making statements that could be used against you.
• Notify your insurer of the crash.
• Contact a Massachusetts motorcycle accident lawyer to protect your rights.
