Motorcyclists face unique dangers on the road — and unique bias from insurance companies. If you've been hurt in a motorcycle accident in the Philadelphia metro area, you deserve an attorney who understands rider cases and won't let adjusters blame you unfairly. We'll match you with one — free.
Takes less than 2 minutes. No cost, no obligation.
If you were hurt riding, you may have a case — regardless of what the insurance company tells you.
The most common motorcycle accident scenario: a car turns left in front of an oncoming motorcycle. Drivers often claim they “didn't see” the rider, but that doesn't absolve them of liability.
Even at moderate speeds, road rash can cause severe skin damage, nerve injury, and permanent scarring that requires skin grafts and long-term treatment.
Even with a helmet, motorcycle crashes can cause concussions, skull fractures, and traumatic brain injuries with lasting cognitive and emotional effects.
Motorcycles are easily hidden in blind spots. When a car changes lanes without checking for riders, the results can be devastating — especially at highway speeds.
In urban Philadelphia, motorcyclists face the danger of parked car doors opening into traffic lanes. These sudden collisions cause serious injuries and are almost always the car occupant's fault.
Potholes, gravel, oil slicks, and uneven surfaces are far more dangerous for motorcycles than cars. If poor road maintenance caused your crash, the responsible government entity may be liable.
Three simple steps. No cost, no confusion, no commitment.

Pennsylvania requires helmets for riders under 21 and those with less than 2 years of riding experience. New Jersey requires helmets for all riders. Delaware requires helmets for riders under 19. Whether or not you were wearing a helmet, you still have the right to pursue compensation — but insurance companies may try to use the lack of a helmet against you. An attorney can counter this tactic.
There is a well-documented bias in the insurance industry against motorcyclists. Adjusters often assume the rider was speeding, weaving, or being reckless — even without evidence. They may offer lowball settlements hoping injured riders will accept out of desperation. An experienced motorcycle accident attorney knows how to counter this bias with accident reconstruction, witness testimony, and police reports.
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in road rash, broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), internal organ damage, and soft-tissue injuries. Because riders lack the protection of an enclosed vehicle, even low-speed crashes can cause serious harm that requires extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.
Don't let the insurance company undervalue your motorcycle accident claim.

Get My Free Case ReviewUnlike California, lane splitting (riding between lanes of traffic) is not legal in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Delaware. If you were involved in a lane-splitting accident, it could impact your claim — but it does not automatically disqualify you from compensation. Pennsylvania's comparative negligence rules allow recovery as long as you were less than 51% at fault.
Pennsylvania uses a modified comparative negligence system with a 51% bar. Even if the other party claims you share some fault, you can still recover damages as long as your fault is under 51%. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. This rule is critical in motorcycle cases where rider bias is common.
