Cape Cod Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Protecting the Rights of Injured Riders Across Cape Cod and Massachusetts
The freedom of the open road can be shattered in an instant when a negligent driver fails to see you. As a motorcyclist, you are uniquely exposed, and the consequences of a crash are often severe and life-altering. At Snow Law Firm, our motorcycle accident attorneys understand the bias riders face and the devastating impact these accidents have on individuals and families. We are dedicated to defending the rights of injured motorcyclists throughout Cape Cod, the South Shore, and South Coast MA, ensuring you get the respect and compensation you deserve.
How Our Cape Cod Motorcycle Accident Attorneys Champion Your Rights
After a crash, you may face not only a difficult physical recovery but also an unfair assumption that you were somehow at fault. Insurance companies often try to use this bias to deny claims or make lowball settlement offers. We don't let them.
The motorcycle accident lawyers at Snow Law Firm fight to tell your side of the story. We conduct detailed investigations into the accident, gathering police reports, witness statements, and expert analysis to prove the other driver’s negligence. We are committed to securing full compensation for your injuries and losses, including:
Medical bills, hospitalization, and future rehabilitation costs
Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
Repair or replacement of your motorcycle and gear
Costs for long-term care or disability
We handle aggressive negotiations with insurance companies so you can focus on your recovery.
Proven Results for Motorcycle Accident Victims
We have a track record of success for injured motorcyclists, including:
$900,000 Settlement: Motorcyclist hit by a car, unable to resume work or normal life activities.
$740,000 Verdict: Injured motorcyclist receives the largest New Bedford, MA plaintiff verdict of 2010.

Overcoming Bias in Motorcycle Accident Cases
Even when a car driver is clearly at fault, motorcyclists often face an uphill battle. There is a common and unfair stereotype that riders are reckless. Insurance companies exploit this by trying to shift blame onto the victim.
Handling a motorcycle accident claim in Cape Cod requires an experienced lawyer who knows how to counter these tactics. Our attorneys work to demonstrate the reality: most riders are safe and responsible, and many accidents are caused by inattentive drivers of cars and trucks. We build a strong, fact-based case to ensure you are treated fairly.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Cape Cod
Many motorcycle crashes are not true “accidents” but the result of a driver’s negligence. Common causes include:
Failure to Yield: Drivers turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle.
Unsafe Lane Changes: Drivers not checking their blind spots before merging.
Distracted Driving: Drivers who are texting, talking on the phone, or otherwise not paying attention.
Following Too Closely: Rear-end collisions are especially dangerous for riders.
“Dooring”: A driver or passenger opening a car door into the path of an oncoming motorcyclist.

Understanding Your Cape Cod Motorcycle Accident Injury Claim
Navigating insurance claims can be complex and intimidating. In Massachusetts, you’ll likely work with Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits, which cover initial medical bills and lost wages no matter who was at fault. However, obtaining complete compensation for your damages often means proving the other party’s negligence.
Insurance adjusters might appear friendly, but their job is to protect the company’s interests. They may ask you for a recorded statement or offer a quick, insufficient settlement. Having an experienced local attorney ensures your interests are protected and that you’re not pressured into accepting less compensation than you deserve.

-
Yes. In Massachusetts, riders over 18 are not legally required to wear a helmet. While a helmet is crucial for safety, not wearing one does not prevent you from recovering damages for your injuries, although the insurance company may argue it contributed to a head injury.
-
No. All drivers have a responsibility to be aware of their surroundings and watch for all vehicles, including motorcycles. “I didn't see you” is an admission of inattention—not an excuse.
-
Massachusetts follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can recover damages as long as you are found to be 50% or less at fault. Your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
-
Due to the severity of injuries and the inherent bias against riders, having an experienced motorcycle accident attorney is critical. Our lawyers will protect your rights, counter insurance company tactics, and fight to maximize your compensation.
