Helping Motorcycle Riders Across Lackawanna County, PA

Motorcycle accidents happen on busy city streets, rural roads, and major highways throughout Lackawanna County. Whether your crash occurred in Scranton, Dunmore, Carbondale, Archbald, Olyphant, or another local community, our attorneys are prepared to help.

Many motorcycle crashes are caused by drivers who: A damaged motorcycle lying on its side at an intersection behind a car

  • Turn left in front of an oncoming motorcycle
  • Change lanes without checking blind spots
  • Follow too closely
  • Drive distracted
  • Fail to yield the right of way
  • Drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol
  • Speed or drive aggressively

Unfortunately, insurance companies often begin with assumptions about motorcyclists rather than the facts of the crash. Our job is to uncover what really happened and present the evidence needed to support your claim.

Where Motorcycle Accidents Happen in Lackawanna County

Motorcyclists in Lackawanna County encounter everything from congested downtown traffic in Scranton to winding rural roads in the northern part of the county. Some of the area’s busiest corridors include:

  • Interstate 81
  • Interstate 84
  • Interstate 380
  • Route 6
  • Route 11
  • Route 307
  • Route 435
  • The Central Scranton Expressway

Heavy commuter traffic, construction zones, merging vehicles, and changing road conditions can all contribute to motorcycle crashes. Intersections near commercial areas and highway interchanges are especially common locations for serious collisions.

Serious Injuries Require Serious Representation

Motorcycle crashes frequently result in injuries that require extensive treatment and rehabilitation. At Munley Law, we represent clients who have suffered:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Broken bones
  • Severe road rash and burns
  • Internal injuries
  • Amputations
  • Facial injuries and scarring
  • Permanent disabilities

The consequences of these injuries often extend well beyond the initial hospitalization. Long-term medical care, lost earning capacity, and lifestyle changes can affect accident victims for years. Any settlement or verdict should account for those future costs, and not just the bills already incurred.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses
  • Future medical treatment and rehabilitation
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Property damage

Every case is different. Our attorneys work with medical professionals, economists, and other experts when necessary to understand the full extent of our clients’ losses.

Pennsylvania Motorcycle Laws and Your Injury Claim

Pennsylvania motorcycle laws can affect how an insurance company evaluates your claim. Questions often arise regarding:

  • Helmet use
  • Motorcycle licensing requirements
  • Passenger regulations
  • Lane usage
  • Comparative negligence

Even if an insurer claims you contributed to the crash, that does not automatically prevent you from recovering compensation. We examine the facts and challenge unsupported allegations of rider fault.
