Do I Need Insurance To Ride My Bike?

This is a great question. Automobile drivers need insurance; do bikers? The answer is no, cyclists are not required to have insurance to ride on the streets in Massachusetts. However, if you are a frequent cycler who commutes on their bike or rides often for pleasure, then you may want to consider getting insurance through your auto insurance. This would help cover your injuries and damages if the driver who hit you didn’t have enough insurance to pay.

How Long Do Personal Injury Cases Take?

There’s no one answer to this question. It can vary greatly by each individual case. If you are suing an insurance company and they choose to settle, it can be a short time–a matter of weeks. But if the company or individual does not want to settle, then a case can take a lot longer. We strive to settle cases quickly and with the best outcome for our clients!

What Do I Do If I Am Injured In A Bicycle Accident?

The first thing you should do is get medical help if you have been injured. Then, you should call Eden Rafferty for legal advice. When you are injured or if substantial property damage occurred, you need to file a crash report with the police. Then, report the accident to insurance companies. Insurance companies are very skilled at shifting blame off of their clients, so it is important that you speak to a lawyer before you speak to another company or sign any documents.
