Kiley Law Group Adds 4 Motorcycle Accident Guides for 2026, Covering UM/UIM, Settlements and Lane-Splitting

Andover, United States – June 14, 2026 / Kiley Law Group Personal Injury Attorneys /

ANDOVER, MA – Kiley Law Group, a personal injury firm serving riders across Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, has expanded its motorcycle accident resource library at tomkileylaw.com to help injured motorcyclists better understand the legal and insurance challenges that follow a crash. The growing collection of rider-focused guides covers how motorcycle claims differ from standard car accident cases, the insurance coverage gaps that frequently catch riders off guard, and what an injured rider’s claim may realistically be worth. New resources are being added on an ongoing basis throughout 2026.

Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable people on the road. With little more than a helmet between them and the pavement, riders are nearly 30 times more likely to suffer fatal or life-altering injuries in a crash than occupants of an enclosed vehicle. Across Massachusetts and New Hampshire, riders navigate everything from congested corridors like I-93 and Route 128 to scenic routes through the Berkshires, Cape Cod, and the White Mountains – too often encountering drivers who fail to see or yield to them.

“Motorcycle cases are different from any other personal injury claim, and riders are routinely treated unfairly by insurers who assume the biker was at fault,” said Thomas M. Kiley, Sr., founding attorney of Kiley Law Group. “After more than 50 years of riding and representing injured riders, we built these resources so motorcyclists and their families have clear, accurate answers before they ever talk to an insurance adjuster.”

Resources Available Now

The motorcycle accident resource library at tomkileylaw.com currently includes the following:

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage for Motorcycle Accidents in Massachusetts. This guide explains why UM/UIM coverage is one of the most valuable protections a rider can carry, and how it fills the gap when an at-fault driver carries too little insurance or none at all.

Motorcycle Accident vs. Car Accident Claims: Key Differences in Massachusetts. This resource outlines why Massachusetts treats motorcycle claims differently from car accident claims, beginning with the fact that no-fault PIP coverage does not apply to motorcycles.

Lane Splitting and Lane Filtering in Massachusetts: What Riders Need to Know. This guide provides a clear look at what is and is not legal when riding between lanes in Massachusetts, and how lane-splitting allegations can affect a rider’s injury claim.

Motorcycle Accident Settlements in Massachusetts: What Your Claim May Be Worth. This resource breaks down the factors that influence settlement value, including injury severity, available insurance coverage, and the strength of the supporting evidence.

Additional resources covering helmet laws, common crash causes, road-condition claims, and wrongful death involving motorcycles are scheduled for publication throughout 2026.

Why Massachusetts and New Hampshire Riders Need Reliable Information

Motorcycle accident cases differ from standard car accident claims in several important ways, and the most significant involves insurance. Massachusetts operates as a no-fault state for automobiles, but Personal Injury Protection coverage does not extend to motorcycles. That means injured riders cannot simply turn to their own insurer first the way car occupants can – they typically must pursue compensation directly from the at-fault driver’s liability policy.

Several coverage issues arise consistently. Riders who carry uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can use it to close the gap when an at-fault driver is underinsured. Optional Medical Payments coverage can pay medical bills regardless of fault. Under Massachusetts comparative negligence law, insurers frequently attempt to shift blame onto the rider in order to reduce what they pay out. Injured riders also face a limited window to take action: the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

The resource library is designed to give riders and their families a clear understanding of how the law applies to their situation, which coverage is in play, what evidence matters most, and what to expect when pursuing a claim after a motorcycle crash.
