If you’ve been injured in a motorcycle accident in Westwood, seeking the guidance of a skilled Westwood personal injury lawyer is crucial for navigating the legal complexities and securing the compensation you deserve.
Why Hire an Experienced Westwood Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Many motorcyclists in Massachusetts wear helmets and adhere to the required safety procedures while riding. Unfortunately, motorcycle accidents are often caused by other more careless road users.
Unfortunately, the rider may be too banged up to tell his or her own side of the story, thus leaving the police to accept the other party’s version of the event. This may lead to the police officer placing the blame on the motorcycle rider, who may be fighting for his or her life.
Hiring a Westwood motorcycle accident lawyer means that you’ll get the representation that you need, instead of depending on the other party to do the right thing.
At Jason Stone Injury Lawyers, our experienced and skilled motorcycle accident lawyers will work hard to prove that the other party was negligent and careless, which caused you the injury. One of our first steps is to locate the police report on file – if there’s any – or file a new one on your behalf.
Then, we’ll proceed to gather all the necessary evidence that will help us build your case effectively. The evidence may include videos and photos from bystanders and witnesses, CCTV footage obtained from nearby buildings, a recording of the 911 call after the incident, statements given by witnesses, and many more.
We will also file compensation claims for every injury you may have sustained as a result of the accident. We don’t settle for lower sums and actively pursue the highest possible settlement amounts.
This way, you will have enough to cover your medical expenses, recover lost wages, secure your future, and pay for any rehabilitative care you need. Hiring Jason Stone Injury Lawyers also means that you don’t have to deal with any insurance company yourself.
The average insurance company is driven by profit, which is why the firms are often reluctant to pay the full amount you should get. But you don’t need to let them get away with cutting your compensation too short. Our highly knowledgeable personal injury lawyers can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.

Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents in Massachusetts
The average motorcyclist is careful and proactive about avoiding accidents. Therefore, many motorcycle accidents are caused by negligent road users who were not paying attention. A pedestrian typing on his phone and listening to music while jaywalking can be just as responsible for a motorcycle accident as a driver whose speed exceeds the recommended limit.
When you come to Jason Stone Injury Lawyers, we’ll work hard to identify the real cause of your accident as well as the various parties responsible for your personal injury.
Some common causes of motorcycle accidents include:
- Distracted driving
- Sudden and improper lane change by the driver of another vehicle
- Driver not seeing the motorcycle rider in a blindspot
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Reckless and aggressive driving
- Surpassing the speed limit
- Driver of another vehicle driving too close to the motorcycle
- Driver running a red light or stop sign at an intersection
- Road users tailgating the motorcycle rider
- Other drivers overtaking incorrectly, leading to head-on collisions
- Careless driving
To win your case, your motorcycle accident lawyer must prove liability. This is particularly important if the cost of property damage and/or treatment for your injuries exceeds $2,000. If you simply want to focus on getting well and getting back to your real life while your medical bills and other bills are taken care of, get in touch with Jason Stone Injury Lawyers right away.

Injuries Caused By Westwood Motorcycle Accidents
While many factors influence what kind of damages you can pursue, your injuries play a significant part. Devastating injuries tend to attract higher compensation amounts from insurance companies since crash victims can file for additional damages like pain and suffering.
Compared to motor vehicle accidents, motorcycle accidents are particularly brutal because there’s nothing between a rider and any external body. The injuries sustained are usually worse.
Some of the common injuries sustained include:
- Traumatic brain injury
- Concussion or brain damage
- Multiple fractures of the upper and lower extremities
- Dislocations
- Muscle and ligament tears
- Bruises or lacerations
- Neck, back, and hip injury
- Spinal cord injury
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Wrongful Death
People who are injured in motorcycle accidents may require weeks, if not months, of treatment. In fact, some victims require prolonged rehabilitative and medical care to get them back to their pre-accident state. Some people end up with permanent disabilities that prevent them from functioning 100 percent ever again.
The treatments required can be expensive, plus the loss of income can result in financial ruin. If you want to recover damages like lost income, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and property damages, you need the help of the experienced personal injury attorneys at Jason Stone Injury Lawyers.
We can help you file your compensation claim with the necessary insurance firms. We can also file a wrongful death suit on your behalf if you lost a loved one to injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident. Call 800-577-5188 to speak to an experienced lawyer today.
