No-Contact Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Serving Massachusetts and Connecticut
When no one hits you, but someone’s still to blame
Not every motorcycle crash involves a collision. Some riders are forced off the road, thrown from their bike, or left injured because of another driver’s carelessness. These are called no-contact motorcycle accidents, and they can be just as devastating as any other crash. The absence of physical impact with another vehicle doesn’t mean the absence of fault. Someone is still responsible.
Too often, insurers try to pin the blame on the rider. They claim the crash was caused by overreaction, inexperience, or loss of control. But the truth is that most no-contact wrecks happen because someone else acted negligently: a driver who cut too close, drifted into the lane, slammed on the brakes, or left dangerous debris in the road. Raipher, P.C. knows how to prove what really happened and make insurance companies pay.
With more than $100 million recovered for injured victims and families across Massachusetts and Connecticut, Raipher has built a reputation for uncovering the truth, countering insurance bias, and delivering results that hold negligent drivers accountable.

How no-contact motorcycle crashes happen
Every no-contact crash tells a story about negligence that forced the rider into danger. These accidents often happen on busy Massachusetts and Connecticut roadways where traffic is dense and drivers fail to look out for motorcycles, including places like I-91, I-90 (the Mass Pike), Route 5 through Springfield, I-291 near Chicopee, or I-84 and I-95 across Connecticut. Sudden movements, poor judgment, and unsafe road conditions leave riders with no way to avoid injury.
- Unsafe Lane Changes: Drivers merge or drift into a rider’s lane on highways like I-91 or I-84, forcing evasive action that causes the bike to slide or crash.
- Abrupt Stops Or Turns: Vehicles cut off motorcycles or brake suddenly in traffic on Route 20, I-391, or downtown Springfield streets, leaving no time or space for safe avoidance.
- Failure to Yield: Drivers turning left across oncoming traffic on local roads such as Boston Road or Sumner Avenue without checking for motorcycles.
- Debris or Road Hazards: Construction companies, municipalities, or other drivers leaving debris, oil, or gravel along I-90 or Route 9, leading to loss of control.
- Hit-and-Run Behavior: A driver crowds or sideswipes a motorcycle on I-95 or I-291, then speeds away before contact or identification.
These situations are not rider error; they are the result of negligence. Raipher’s attorneys work with accident reconstruction experts, review surveillance and traffic camera footage, and subpoena phone or GPS records to prove exactly how another party’s actions caused the crash and to hold them accountable.
Why no-contact motorcycle accident cases are complex
Proving liability without visible impact requires strategy, precision, and resources. Insurance companies often deny these claims, insisting there’s no proof another driver caused the crash. But evidence tells the real story. Tire marks, debris patterns, and witness statements can reveal how a negligent driver’s actions forced a rider to react.
Raipher’s legal team moves fast to secure this evidence before it disappears. We locate and interview witnesses, obtain police and 911 reports, and work with investigators to identify responsible drivers or entities. Our preparation and persistence ensure that clients aren’t left paying for someone else’s mistake.
The power, precision, and preparation riders need
A no-contact crash can lead to catastrophic injuries, long recoveries, and financial stress. Riders may face broken bones, brain injuries, or spinal damage, all without ever touching another vehicle. Compensation should reflect the full scope of those losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and long-term care needs.
Raipher fights for maximum recovery in every case. Our no-contact motorcycle accident attorneys know the tactics insurers use to deny responsibility, and we don’t let them get away with it. When necessary, we take cases to trial to prove fault and win the compensation riders need to rebuild.
We handle motorcycle accident cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no attorney’s fee unless you win. Free consultations are available throughout Massachusetts and Connecticut.
