Pennsylvania Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Motorcycle riders are not the cause of most motorcycle crashes — drivers who fail to look are. Pennsylvania motorcycle cases require an attorney who understands both the bike and the bias.

Why these cases are different

What sets Pennsylvania motorcycle accidents cases apart

  • The most common motorcycle crash pattern is a left-turning car violating the rider's right of way. Insurance adjusters consistently try to flip the blame onto the rider — we don't let them.

  • Pennsylvania's 'limited tort' rules do NOT apply to motorcycle injuries (75 Pa. C.S. § 1705(d)(3)). Riders retain full rights to recover pain and suffering, regardless of the tort election on their auto policy.

  • Helmet use does not bar recovery — Pennsylvania law (75 Pa. C.S. § 3525) prohibits using helmet status as evidence of contributory negligence in most situations.

  • Catastrophic injuries — road rash, orthopedic trauma, traumatic brain injury, spinal injuries — are the norm rather than the exception, and the medical costs reflect that.

  • Uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage often becomes the most important asset in the case. We stack policies and pursue every available source of recovery.

Our Approach

How we build your motorcycle accident case

  1. 1

    Independent scene investigation and reconstruction — we don't let the police report be the last word.

  2. 2

    Preservation of the bike, gear, and helmet for forensic analysis.

  3. 3

    Full medical workup including orthopedic, neurological, and psychological evaluation.

  4. 4

    Insurance audit: liability, UM/UIM stacking, household coverage, and any commercial policies in play.

  5. 5

    Demand and litigation strategy built around a clear, jury-ready story of what really happened.

Recoverable Damages

What you may be entitled to recover

Pennsylvania law allows victims of motorcycle accidents to recover both economic and non-economic damages. The categories below apply to most Pennsylvania cases — the specific value of your claim depends on the facts.

  • Emergency, surgical, and rehabilitation medical costs
  • Future medical care, including revision surgeries and long-term therapy
  • Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and loss of life's pleasures (riders are NOT bound by limited tort)
  • Disfigurement and scarring from road rash and burns
  • Property damage to the motorcycle, helmet, and gear
