If you have been injured in a motorcycle crash, contact a personal accident attorney at KaplunMarx to learn about your right to compensation. Let one of our motorcycle accident lawyers help you today.

How Our Motorcycle Accident Lawyers Recover Compensation

You need excellent legal representation as soon as possible following a motorcycle crash. An attorney can handle every aspect of your claim, starting with the investigation into the crash.

Unfortunately, if it’s hard to determine which party was at fault in your case, the insurance company is not going to give you the benefit of the doubt. You need to understand the unspoken rule from insurance companies: a motorcyclist starts with a presumption of fault for driving too fast, not paying attention, or engaging in other reckless behaviors.

At KaplunMarx, we know this presumption could not be further from the truth. Our motorcycle accident attorneys begin their investigation immediately, looking for any advantage we can provide for our clients. We hire investigators, accident re-constructionists, road engineers, and other experts to help get maximum value for your personal injury case.

Our lawyers will be there for you through the entire process. Our team can ensure you are seen by some of the best doctors in the area. Receiving proper medical care is critical in maximizing your recovery and in preparing your case.

Many personal injury cases are settled outside of the courtroom, but we are prepared to go to trial if necessary. In fact, every case is prepared in anticipation of trial. This approach gives us the best leverage when negotiating with insurance companies.

Our team won’t let the insurance companies push you around and force you to settle your claim for less than the full value. Don’t try to reach a motorcycle accident settlement without a lawyer– contact KaplunMarx at once.

Who Is At Fault In A Pennsylvania Motorcycle Crash?

To recover compensation, an injured motorcyclist must prove that the other party was at fault for the accident. Proving fault is not as easy as it may seem. The plaintiff–with help from a motorcycle injury lawyer–must show that the crash occurred as a result of the other party’s negligence.

Examples of negligent behavior include distracted driving, drunk driving, and reckless driving. So, if a driver was intoxicated when he collided with you, this may be enough to hold him liable for your injuries.

Sometimes, both the injured motorcyclist and the other party are partly to blame for the accident that occurred. If you are partly responsible for the accident, don’t let this discourage you from taking legal action. Pennsylvania law allows accident victims to recover compensation that is proportionate to a fault.

For example, if a driver was 90% responsible for an accident and you were ten percent at fault, you would recover 90 percent of full compensation for your injuries. However, the law does not allow motorcycle accident victims to recover compensation for their injuries if they are more than 50 percent at fault.

Remember, proving liability is the key to winning compensation. Let a lawyer for motorcycle accident victims at KaplunMarx review your case to determine who is at fault.

Common Motorcycle Accident Cases

Motorcycle accidents can happen for a number of different reasons. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Unsafe lane changes: This type of accident occurs when a motorist fails to see a motorcyclist in his blind spot before changing lanes.
  • Tailgating: A driver that is tailgating a motorcyclist may not be able to stop his vehicle in time to avoid a collision if the motorcyclist slams on his brakes.
  • Judgment errors: Many motorcycle accidents occur as a result of a judgment error. For example, a driver may make a judgment error when deciding whether or not he has time to turn left in front of a motorcycle that is approaching in the opposite direction. If he misjudges the distance, he could collide with the motorcyclist.
  • Failing to yield: Drivers must yield to motorcyclists and other traffic in certain situations, such as when they are merging onto a highway. Failing to yield can lead to a tragic collision involving the car and the motorcycle.

An experienced personal injury attorney can help you determine the cause of your accident so you can identify the liable parties and seek compensation.

What is the Helmet Law for Motorcyclists in Pennsylvania?

Each state has its own laws regarding the use of motorcycle helmets. In Pennsylvania, motorcyclists that are under the age of 18 must wear a helmet at all times when operating a bike. However, motorcyclists that are over the age of 21 are not legally required to wear a helmet as long as they have at least two years of riding experience or have completed a riding safety course.

You may not be required to wear a helmet, but it’s highly recommended that you do so anyway. Statistics show that when a motorcycle accident happens at 25+ mph, 55 percent of these accidents result in traumatic brain injury, dismemberment, and/or death. These numbers are scary.

Twenty-five miles per hour is not a high rate of speed on a motorcycle. For that reason, our attorneys strongly suggest that you always wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle.

We have seen first-hand the type of impact motorcycle accidents have on someone’s life. No one can know what injury they would have sustained if they had been wearing a helmet, but it’s simply not worth the risk.

Common Injuries Suffered by Motorcyclists

Motorcycle accidents tend to produce horrific injuries, more so than any other type of personal injury case. The reason why is simple: a motorcycle does not leave you much room for error, or more importantly the error of other drivers on the road.

Nearly every part of the body can be injured in the event of a collision, however, some injuries are more common than others. Some of the most common injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries
  • Neurological damage
  • Spine injuries
  • Broken or fractured bones
  • Dislocations
  • Crushed limbs
  • Soft tissue damage
  • Lacerations

Sadly, many of the people who are injured in motorcycle crashes have a long road to recovery ahead of them. If you have been injured in a crash, speak to KaplunMarx, a motorcycle accident law firm that is committed to helping victims obtain the compensation they deserve.
