Motorcycle Helmet Laws in Massachusetts

A Half Century of Experience in Motorcycle Accident Cases

According to Massachusetts law: "Every person operating a motorcycle or riding as a passenger on a motorcycle or in a sidecar attached to a motorcycle shall wear protective head gear." The police can fine motorcycle riders and passengers for failing to wear a helmet.

At The Law Offices of Joseph J. Cariglia, P.C., we encourage all motorcyclists to wear helmets. Our lawyers have seen firsthand the damage that can be done when a motorcycle is hit by a car or truck. Catastrophic injuries often result. Of course, helmets are no guarantee that a person will walk away from a motorcycle accident unscathed. If you have been hit by a negligent driver, we will help you get compensation, whether or not you wore a helmet.

What if the Victim Did Not Have a Motorcycle Helmet On?

Insurance companies look for every possible excuse to avoid paying compensation. If you were not wearing a helmet at the time of the motorcycle accident, they will use that detail against you. They will say that you are obviously a negligent rider. They may say that you are to blame for your injuries. We will not listen to what they say. We will build a strong case based on actual facts, designed to get you the compensation you deserve.
