Boston Bike Accident Attorneys

Serving Greater Boston, the North Shore and the South Shore

Boston is a city that hosts all kinds of cyclists, from recreational riders to commuters and delivery workers. With the prominence of cyclists comes the risk of collisions, many of which can leave riders seriously injured. Cyclists have little protection against cars, trucks, or other large vehicles, and even a low-speed impact can lead to long-term medical issues, financial stress, and emotional trauma.

Laws Protecting Bicyclists in Massachusetts

Massachusetts laws give bicyclists meaningful rights and recourse after an accident. Cyclists are legally entitled to use most public roads, and drivers must exercise reasonable care to avoid harming them. 

Key protections include:

• Safe passing rules requiring motorists to maintain an adequate distance from cyclists and pass only when it is safe to do so
• Right-of-way protections, particularly at intersections and crosswalks
• Dooring laws, which make it illegal for someone to open a vehicle door into a cyclist’s path 

Under Massachusetts personal injury law, bicyclists may hold negligent drivers, commercial vehicle operators, delivery companies, or other responsible parties financially accountable for their injuries.
