Understanding the Rules of the Road in Massachusetts

As a bike rider, there are a number of steps you can take to keep yourself safe and keep your children safe on the road. In addition, if you are involved in an accident and you were following these steps, the chances of recovering full compensation are much higher. Some of these steps are:

• Riding with traffic, not against it
• Wearing a helmet, and making sure your children wear helmets
• Wearing bright clothing
• Having reflectors on your bike
• Using the correct hand signals
• Obeying all traffic lights and road signs

If you are a pedestrian, it is important to remember to walk or run against traffic and use crosswalks whenever available.

Why Are the Rules Important for an Injured Person?

If you suffer an injury in a pedestrian accident or bicycle accident, the insurance company will investigate thoroughly to find out if you were at fault in any way. In Massachusetts, if the negligent driver can partially blame you for the accident, your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of your fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you will not be able to recover anything.

When you come to us, you can be confident that our attorneys will work hard to protect your rights, including handling any disputes with insurance companies. We will perform our own investigation, working with experts whenever necessary, and do our best to get you the compensation you need and deserve.
