Altman & Altman, LLP, has a team of dedicated and experienced attorneys that will fight for the highest possible compensation for you. If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident in Massachusetts, it is often in your best interest to contact a Boston motorcycle accident lawyer.

Because motorcyclists have minimal protection against cars, trucks, cement barriers, and other hazards, motorcycle accidents can result in catastrophic injuries requiring extensive medical treatment and significant time away from work. Injuries from motorcycle accidents can include brain injuries, broken bones, concussions, internal bleeding, paralysis, and other injuries. Some motorcycle accidents can be fatal, especially if the accident victim is not wearing a helmet.

According to 2008-2009 statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, motorcyclist fatalities and injuries are on the rise. In 2008, 5,290 bikers were killed and 96,000 bikers were injured - a 2% increase from 2007. Motorcyclist fatalities account for 14% of total crash fatalities, and per vehicle mile traveled, bikers are about 37 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a crash and 9 times more likely to be injured. These statistics underscore the seriousness of motorcycle accidents.
