Spada LawGroup: They Call Us The 2-Wheel Lawyers Helping the Cycling and Motorcycling Communities Throughout Massachusetts
What You Should KnowAb AND WHAT TO D Most motorcyclists have probably experienced or at least heard of situations where they came in contact with a driver who was behaving erratically or in a way that caused a motorcyclist to crash without ever having come in contact with the other vehicle. These are called no-contact crashes, and we see them all the time at Spada Law Group. No-contact crashes can happen in a number of different scenarios. Drivers changing lanes without using their signals, running red lights, or checking their blind spots, along with several other scenarios, can all lead
At Spada Law, we’re revving (and sometimes pedaling) right into a new phase of our practice. Since 1998, we have been representing injured members of both the cycling and riding communities. These two-wheel accident cases present challenges different from your routine car accident cases, and over the last 23 years, we have become quite good at getting our cycling and riding clients the compensation they deserve. So when people jokingly refer to us as the Two-Wheel Lawyers, we take it as a compliment. We know that on roads built for and dominated by cars and trucks, dangers and accidents are waiting to happen. However, rather than simply hide in your homes or vehicles, never to feel the wind on your face again, we believe that cyclists, motorcycle riders, and drivers should all try to share the road and be mindful of one another. We want to help the cycling and motorcycling communities in Massachusetts. That’s why this year, we’re working with Riders Helping Riders to sponsor the Fifth Annual Sammy’s Ride. Riders Helping Riders is an organization that helps raise money for the Massachusetts Motorcyclists Survivor’s Fund (MMSF), which they use to help the families of riders killed or seriously injured in motorcycle accidents. Sam Morgan Storm, for whom Sammy’s Ride is named, passed away in 2008 after complications from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident. This event will honor her life and help raise money and awareness for motorcycle safety initiatives. The ride will take place on Aug. 28, and Spada Law Group is an official sponsor of the ride. We will have a tent at both the pre- and post-ride celebrations. At our tent, we will have five leather vests patched with our newly designed Spada Law logo on the back. For every person who agrees to wear the vest during the one-hour ride, we will donate $200 to MMSF. Since we have five vests, that means we will give away as much as an additional $1,000 to help families of people who were hurt or killed in motorcycle accidents. It should be a great day! We hope that as the summer continues, you’ll continue to stay safe riding on the road. If you or someone you know ever gets injured in an accident involving a motorcycle, give the Two-Wheel Lawyers a call!
