Pennsylvania Motorcycle Accidents
Pennsylvania motorcyclists like the speed, sense of independence, and the open air while riding their motorcycles. Unfortunately, car and truck drivers often fail to notice motorcycles. As a result, motorcycle accidents often involve a combination of inattentive motorists and hard-to-see motorcycles. Pennsylvania motorcycle accidents are likely to result in serious injuries such as head injuries, neck injuries, back injuries, and even death.
Even the most careful motorcyclists who wear a helmet and obey safety laws can find themselves injured because of negligent drivers on the road, road construction, road defects, intersection collisions, and other hazards.
Pennsylvania motorcycle accident lawsuits are different from car accident cases because the serious injuries often involve permanent consequences such as loss of limbs, grafting, paraplegia, quadriplegia, and/or head injury. More than 80 percent of all reported motorcycle accidents result in serious injury or death to the motorcyclist.
Damages that a Pennsylvania motorcycle accident victim and the victim's family are entitled to recover may include:
- Medical expenses
- Physical pain and suffering
- Lost earnings
- Damage or destruction of property
- Permanent disability
- Emotional distress
- Grief and emotional suffering
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of enjoyment of life.
