Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a motorcycle accident?

First, ensure safety and call 911 immediately. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine, as adrenaline can mask serious injuries. Document the scene extensively with photos of your bike, the other vehicle, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Gather contact information from all parties and witnesses. Never admit fault or apologize at the scene. Contact our motorcycle accident lawyers as soon as possible to protect your rights.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania's statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, certain circumstances can shorten this timeline, so it's critical to contact our motorcycle accident attorneys immediately to preserve evidence and protect your rights.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Pennsylvania follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover compensation as long as you were less than 51% at fault, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys will fight to minimize any fault attributed to you.

How much is my motorcycle accident case worth?

The value of your case depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term impacts. Motorcycle accidents often result in more severe injuries, which can increase case value. Our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers will thoroughly evaluate your case and fight for maximum compensation.

What if the insurance company blames me for the motorcycle accident?

Insurance companies often try to blame motorcyclists, citing stereotypes or claiming the rider was reckless. Our motorcycle accident attorneys know these tactics and aggressively fight back with evidence, expert testimony, and accident reconstruction to prove the other driver's fault and secure the compensation you deserve.
