After a Bicycle Accident in Massachusetts, Contact an Attorney at Dane Shulman Associates, LLC
Especially in warm months, the Boston area has plenty of bicyclists out and about: bicycle messengers (couriers), college students, recreational bicyclists, workers who don't have driver's licenses, and active children all use bicycles as a means of transportation. As a result, there are unfortunately many opportunities for bicyclists to be injured while traveling on trails, on streets, on sidewalks and elsewhere.
When a bicycle uses a street, the bicycle must follow the same rules of the road that cars must follow. It is understood that bicycles are smaller and slower than cars, but the same rules apply when it comes to signaling turns, yielding at intersections and obeying traffic signals and signs. In many cases, even though a bicycle has the same right of way that a car or motorcycle has on a street, the bicyclist is often assessed to be at fault in an accident.
At Dane Shulman Associates, LLC, our personal injury lawyers know that nothing should ever be taken for granted at first glance — including police reports. When we represent injured bicycle riders, we undertake a detailed investigation in the same way we do for people injured in motor vehicle accidents. We examine the wrecked bicycle, take pictures at the accident scene, identify and interview eyewitnesses, analyze medical reports and develop informed theories of liability using this data.
We have a track record of achieving results on behalf of victims of car, truck, motorcycle and bicycle accidents. We welcome your inquiry. Our attorneys will meet you at the hospital, at your home or anywhere to explain how we can help, with no obligation. If you have been injured in a bike crash, contact the law offices of Dane Shulman Associates, LLC. We offer free consultations.
Remember our advice to all accidental injury victims: do not make statements to anyone about the bicycle accident itself until you talk to an attorney.
"We'll get you what's rightfully yours, and that's that!"
