Massachusetts Motorcycle Accident Victim Recovers $150,000 From Commerce Insurance

d’Oliveira & Associates attorney D. Robin Gouveia successfully secured a $150,000 settlement for a Massachusetts woman who was seriously injured as a passenger in a motorcycle accident caused by the combined negligence of two drivers.

Our client was a passenger on a motorcycle traveling along a roadway in Massachusetts when a vehicle ahead made a sudden turn directly into their path, cutting across oncoming traffic without ensuring it was clear. The motorcycle driver, traveling at the posted speed, was unable to avoid the collision. The crash caused our client to suffer extensive injuries that would require a Massachusetts motorcycle accident attorney to recover expenses related to months of medical care, physical therapy, and ongoing rehab management.

Two separate insurers, each covering one of the at-fault parties, contributed to the final settlement amount, with each paying $75,000, for a combined recovery of $150,000 for our client. Beyond the physical injuries, our client was left with significant and visible scarring, serving as a lasting reminder of the crash that also formed part of the basis for the injury demand.

Attorney D. Robin Gouveia said, “When actions of two different parties cause injuries to our client, we must build the case against each of them. We must show, with facts, what each did to contribute to the incident, proving that each were negligent. Our client suffered significant and real harm. They suffered pain and had treatment for months. We fought for our client by presenting the injuries to both insurance companies and were able to secure a fair and reasonable offer from both carriers.”
