Motorcycle Accidents in Pennsylvania

Navigating the aftermath of a car accident requires specialized legal knowledge. Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, even in tragic circumstances.

Understanding the most frequent causes of motorcycle accidents can help raise awareness about preventable tragedies:

• Left-Turn Crashes: When vehicles fail to yield right-of-way to oncoming motorcycles while making left turns at intersections.
• Failure to See Motorcyclists: Drivers often claim they “didn’t see” the motorcycle due to its smaller profile and blind spot issues.
• Speeding: Excessive speed reduces a driver’s ability to respond to hazards and increases crash severity for all vehicles involved.
• Lane Splitting: Motorcycles riding between lanes of traffic can lead to serious accidents when drivers change lanes unexpectedly.
• Impaired Driving: Alcohol and drugs significantly impair judgment, reaction time, and coordination for all motorists.
• Helmet Usage: Pennsylvania’s lack of universal helmet laws contributes to more severe injuries and fatalities in motorcycle crashes.
