Braintree, MA personal injury attorney Michael Conley discusses how motorcycle accident cases are different from other motor vehicle accident cases. He explains that essentially, there are three key factors at play. Firstly, there exists a bias against motorcyclists that we must navigate during trial and consider during jury selection. Secondly, in the majority of motorcycle accidents not caused by careless driving, the issue often lies with visibility. Motorcycles are often not recognized by other drivers, which is why you see signs reminding drivers to watch out for motorcycles. Thirdly, when a motorcycle accident occurs, even minor ones have the potential to be catastrophic. Unlike car accidents where a significant impact may not result in severe injuries, motorcycle accidents tend to have more severe consequences.
