Among the most dangerous scenarios for Massachusetts motorcyclists is the left-turn crash: a driver turning left at an intersection or driveway fails to yield and turns directly into an oncoming rider's path.
These crashes typically place fault on the turning driver, who has a duty to yield to oncoming traffic. But insurers often argue the rider was speeding or could have avoided the collision, attempting to shift blame under comparative negligence.
Establishing the rider's lawful speed and right of way is key. Skid marks, vehicle damage, witness accounts, and sometimes intersection camera footage help reconstruct what happened and rebut unfair assumptions about riders.
Left-turn crashes frequently cause severe leg, pelvic, and head injuries. Documenting the full extent of injuries and their long-term impact is essential to recovering fair compensation.
