Motorcycle Accident Statistics: A National and Massachusetts Perspective

Motorcycle accidents are alarmingly common, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reporting 5,932 fatalities in 2021 alone, marking the highest number since 1975. In Massachusetts, the year 2019 saw 1,731 motorcycle accidents, including 46 fatalities. These statistics highlight the critical need for effective legal representation for accident victims.

Compensation for Motorcycle Accident Victims in Massachusetts

Victims of motorcycle accidents in Massachusetts are entitled to comprehensive compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. At Peck Trial Attorneys, we fight relentlessly to secure the full spectrum of compensation you deserve. This may include:

  1. Medical expenses: Both current and future costs related to your injuries (Massachusetts Health Connector)
  2. Lost wages and earning capacity: Compensation for time off work and potential long-term impact on your career (Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards)
  3. Pain and suffering: For physical discomfort and emotional distress (Massachusetts Courts)
  4. Property damage: Costs to repair or replace your motorcycle and other damaged property
  5. Rehabilitation costs: Including physical therapy and adaptive equipment (Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission)

Our attorneys at Peck Trial Attorneys are adept at navigating the complexities of these claims, leveraging our deep understanding of Massachusetts motorcycle laws (Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles) to ensure you receive full and fair compensation for your losses. We don't just handle your case; we champion your cause with the tenacity and expertise you deserve.

Determining Fault in Motorcycle Accidents

Establishing fault is crucial for securing compensation. Our attorneys meticulously gather evidence and build a compelling case to demonstrate the negligence of the other party, addressing the unique challenges of each claim to achieve the best possible outcome for you.

Filing Deadlines and Comparative Negligence in Massachusetts

Massachusetts law imposes a three-year deadline for filing personal injury lawsuits, making it imperative to act promptly to preserve your right to compensation. The state's modified comparative negligence rules mean that sharing less than 51% of the fault still allows for recovery, albeit adjusted according to your degree of responsibility. Peck Trial Attorneys navigates these legal nuances to protect your interests and maximize your recovery.

John Peck

President and Trial Attorney

Attorney John Peck is dedicated to advocating for accident victims in the fight to compensate them for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence. John has had a drive to help people since his childhood in Connecticut, carrying it through college and law school, where he found his passion for personal injury law. His grit and perseverance are hallmarks of the strategy behind the firm that bears his name. 


John attended Hobart College in Geneva, New York, with a dream of becoming a senator. He always had strong advocacy skills and was an excellent writer in the classroom. John had always been a confident public speaker, a skill he leaned into as he acted as student body president the last two years of college. He was fiercely loyal to his teammates on the football field and honed his problem-solving skills with colleagues, friends, and family throughout his education. Law school was an evident and productive outlet for these skills and experiences. 


Suffolk Law School in Boston, Massachusetts, was the perfect landing place for John as the school focuses on real-life advocacy skills. The well-regarded school boasts a tight community of alumni who actually litigate the cases they work on. John was enamored from the start, taking every opportunity to practice in mock trials and exploring new legal topics when he was on Law Review. He sought practical education opportunities, working full time through law school at some of the best firms in Boston. 


John is a lifelong baseball fan and was thrilled to start his legal career as a clerk for a local firm whose main client was your Boston Red Sox. He then clerked for Federal Court Judge Patti Saris when she was head of the United States Sentencing Commission. There, John gained invaluable writing experience from the best legal minds in the country. During his second year of law school, Attorney Peck dove into personal injury work. He continued as a clerk for top boutique firms in Boston, eventually leading the litigation group at Nussbaum Law Group for five years. 


John’s interest in personal injury law stems from a fundamental tenet of wanting to help others. Negligence cases have a clear victim and offender – you never have to advocate for a cause in which you do not believe – and the duality makes winning the fight against the insurance company that much better. The justice personal injury attorneys serve is directly life-changing for victims of accident cases, allowing them to start fresh from a terrible circumstance with a substantial financial award. 


Many attorneys believe they can handle a personal injury case the right way without any experience or strategy. That is not possible. At Peck Trial Attorneys, John has trained up his staff to exercise a complete strategy for every case, big or small. John has over a decade of experience handling personal injury cases and his team has the results to justify their unique approach to handling negligence cases. 


Attorney Peck’s years of success as a Boston area personal injury lawyer is highlighted by cases that brought deserved justice to victims of motor vehicle accidents. One heartfelt win involved a single mother who got hit by a truck in a crosswalk. Attorney Peck’s diligence earned her a substantial award that brought financial stability, the ability to buy a new home for herself and her daughter, plus money to spare to send her daughter to college in the future. 


In another win, after three other attorneys turned her down, John won a case for a young woman who was thrown from an ATV and badly broke her wrist. She was awarded the funds required to purchase a home and pay off her student loans. 


John and his team also helped a young man who was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street. The injuries were catastrophic and the driver of the car that caused the accident fled the scene. After a long investigation, John and his team were able to secure over $1,000,000 for the young man and his family. These wins demonstrate the direct impact of winning a personal injury case and the success of the Peck Trial Attorneys approach to building a case. 


Accessibility of legal services is of supreme importance at Peck Trial Attorneys. John has seen firsthand that many people who recently immigrated to the United States – those unfamiliar with the US legal system – avoid starting personal injury cases out of fear or confusion. Out of the thousands of people that Attorney Peck and his team have helped, over half of them have been Spanish speaking immigrants who often felt powerless after they were hurt by someone else’s negligence. 


John hopes to make his services accessible and the legal process comfortable for his clients. He does this while working hard to raise the standard of excellence for personal injury attorneys in Boston. Best-in-class customer service and availability is key to achieving that goal. John leads the team at Peck Trial Attorneys that strives to improve the quality of their work every day as they deliver impressive results for clients. 


Attorney Peck lives in East Boston with his wife and their dog. John and his wife hope to start a family soon and plan to stay in the city, helping their local community. He worked as a sous chef for many years and still loves to cook. He spends his time with family and friends, regularly attending concerts and baseball games when he’s not in the courtroom. 


Peck Trial Attorneys support the Bottom Line organization, routinely hiring recent college students hoping to pursue a career in law. The firm also regularly sponsors local charity events with the hope of having a positive impact on the lives of immigrant children in the Greater Boston Area.

Stephanie Farias Perez

Manager, Client Success

Growing up, I knew I wanted to pursue a career that would provide me with a challenge while allowing me to grow and learn new skills. Working in the law field provides me with those opportunities because it allows me to learn something new and apply that knowledge in my life.

Personal injury law allows those in this field to advocate for the community. Injury law can become very complicated for someone unfamiliar with the variety of liability situations that can arise. Being able to assist a client with the expertise and knowledge on injury claims makes what can be a difficult and stressful situation into one where we guide and help clients receive fair compensation.

I chose Peck Trial Attorneys because of our close-knit work environment. With it being a smaller law firm, we can all contribute and collaborate on each case. This allows for an environment where we can all work together, positively impacting how we manage our problem-solving and management skills.

Why law?

The legal field has always interested me since I was young, because I always wanted to work in a challenging field where you are constantly learning. The legal field challenges you to think analytically and apply the skills you learned to each case. Law is interesting because each case is unique from one another and the law is constantly changing.

Why personal injury?

Personal injury has always been interesting to me and it's a field that always helps the community. Many people might get overwhelmed with their personal injury cases because it seems very complex and they might not know where to start or how to advocate for themselves. That is why I love working in this field to help relieve some of that stress and make the process a bit easier for them.

Why PTA? 

I chose Peck Trial Attorneys because it was an extremely welcoming environment from the start. We all work together and collaborate well with each case. I believe that a close-knit environment produces the best outcomes, and that is what Peck Trial Attorneys does.

Law Clerk, Case Operations

Why law?

The legal field has interested me since college. I liked the idea of taking the facts of a specific issue and then using logic and reasoning to form the best argument possible. It's interesting how each case is different, yet the formula for making a good argument is relatively the same.

Why personal injury?

Personal injury is a great way to help people when they most need it. Clients are often on the back end of a bad accident and the last thing they need is to be stressed about how they are going to be made whole again. Personal injury law can step in and help clients focus on recovery.

Why PTA?

I chose Peck Trial Attorneys because everyone is eager to learn and teach each other (and there are some great teachers here). We work closely together, which helps everyone feel more comfortable and ultimately leads to great results.

Sofia Rosa

Associate, Client Success

Why Law?
As an LSU graduate with a B.S. in Biological Sciences and a B.A. in Anthropology who intends to attend law school in 2025, the crossover of these disciplines encouraged an appreciation for the complexities of human biology, behavior, and societal systems. However, my interest of justice and advocacy eventually led me to the field of law. My scientific background, which gave me analytical skills and a thorough approach to problem resolution, together with a knowledge of the complexity of human interaction and societal systems, sparked my interest in law.

Why PI?
After witnessing the physical, emotional, and financial toll that accidents and negligence have on families firsthand, I felt drawn to pursue a position in personal injury law, where I could personally help others suffering similar issues. With a combination of scientific analysis and empathy, I am committed to supporting those in need and hope to help make a difference in their lives.

Why PTA?
I chose Peck Trial Attorneys not only because of its convenient location, but also because I felt immediately at ease during my interview. I knew I wanted to be a part of this team when I didn't feel any discomfort and realized how much I would learn working here. I know that the attorneys here are highly skilled and committed to their profession. They are truly passionate about what they do and work extremely hard to achieve the results that their clients need, and these are the people I want to be around in the workplace.
