Motorcycle Accidents

The searches are about blame

People search left-turn crashes, drivers who say they did not see the bike, and whether not wearing a helmet ends the case. They also search lane splitting. The passenger’s injuries are a separate search from the rider’s. An uninsured driver pushes the search toward the rider’s own uninsured-motorist coverage.

Send who was riding, the city, and whether anyone went to a hospital. The two-year general deadline for injury lawsuits in Pennsylvania is the period people ask about. A government vehicle changes that conversation.

What the first message needs

The date, the road, and the insurer that has already called, if any. Photos of the bike and the scene can wait until a lawyer asks.

Nothing on this page is a prediction of what a case is worth, and it is not legal advice. A message asks the desk to review the facts and refer them.

What to send

Motorcycle crashes. Say who was riding, the city, and whether anyone went to a hospital.

The useful first facts are the place, the date, the court if there is one, and what happened. Records can wait until a lawyer asks for them.

How a referral works

A message asks the desk to read the facts and refer them to a lawyer who handles this work. It does not hire that lawyer, and it does not create an attorney-client relationship.

The lawyer who receives the introduction decides whether to take the matter and talks with you about deadlines and fees.
