Officials with the Agawam Police Department reported that a motorcyclist was seriously injured on Nov. 10 when a motor vehicle hit him. According to reports, the accident occurred around 5:30 p.m. at an intersection. When police arrived, they found the motorcyclist lying in the road with serious injuries. According to witnesses, a woman driving a car west had attempted to turn left before allegedly striking the motorcyclist with her car. The man was transported by emergency personnel to Baystate Medical Center for treatment of his injuries. The woman was apparently not injured in the collision. There was no word on the motorcyclist’s condition on the day of the incident. Law enforcement authorities continued to investigate at the time of the report. No charges had yet been filed. Many people are injured in motorcycle accidents as a result of inattentive drivers. It is vitally important that all drivers keep aware of the traffic around them to reduce the incidence of injury. When a person has been seriously injured in an accident due to the negligence of another driver, the at-fault driver may be held civilly liable in court through a personal injury action. Those who are injured may be able to recover damages for medical expenses, ongoing treatment needs, lost wages from work, pain and suffering they experienced, property damage and more. Victims may wish to consult with a personal injury attorney regarding the facts of their individual case. An attorney may be able to evaluate the case for potential claims.
