Biking can be a fresh, healthy and fun alternative to driving a motor vehicle through the crowded, commuter-packed streets; especially in Boston. However riding a bike comes with certain risks not faced by people driving around in cars, trucks and SUV’s.
Being injured while on a bike can result in far more serious injuries than driving in a car, as you have no protections against impact and can be much less visible to motorists. A total of 720 cyclists were killed in 2014 in the United States, equating to about two per day. Many more are injured each day. If you have been injured cycling in Massachusetts, having access to qualified, experience attorneys will pay off when dealing with insurance companies for medical bill payment, lost wages, bike repair and payment for pain and suffering.

The joy of welcoming a new life into the world is an unparalleled happiness.
