Motorcycle Accident Lawyer PhiladelphiaAs a Philadelphia Motorcycle Accident Lawyers, I often encounter unfair bias against motorcyclists in our state. Motorists and insurance companies tend to think that all bikers are reckless, irresponsible, and hot-headed individuals who casually neglect traffic laws just to get a thrill out of high speeds and risky behaviors on the road.

There may be only 10 percent of motorcyclists who fit the above description, while the remaining 90 percent of motorcycle riders are ordinary law-abiding citizens who treat their bike as a means of transportation.

It often happens that a motorcyclist takes all necessary precautions to avoid accidents, while the other party breaks the law and violates traffic rules, causing injuries to the motorcycle rider and putting his or her life at risk. Our legal experts from The Law Offices of Greg Prosmushkin, P.C., can help you make the right decisions after a motorcycle crash to battle the unfair bias and win the compensation you deserve.

Are Motorcycle Riders More Likely to Suffer Injuries or Die Than Other Motorists?

“Yes,” answers our Philadelphia Motorcycle Accident Lawyer. “And this is evident from the statistics provided by the Insurance Institute For Highway Safety and Highway Loss Data Institute.”

Approximately 15 percent of all motor vehicle-related fatalities on U.S. roads and highways are motorcyclists, not to mention that motorcyclist deaths have been on the rise in our country over the past few decades. For the sake of comparison, motorcycle rider deaths have more than doubled from about 2,000 in the late 1990s to more than 5,000 in 2018, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.

What to Do When a Motorcyclist is Involved in a Hit-and-Run Crash?

What is your course of action when you, as a motorcycle rider, are involved in a hit-and-run collision in Philadelphia or elsewhere in Pennsylvania? Our Philadelphia Motorcycle Accident Attorney from The Law Offices of Greg Prosmushkin, P.C., advises you to take photos immediately at the scene of the crash.

While the photos might not capture the vehicle that collided with your bike, you can take pictures of your injury and damage to your motorcycle as well as the skid marks indicating that there was another vehicle that speeded away to flee the scene.

It is vital to write down the contact information of any witnesses. Also, note any details about the vehicle that fled the scene, including its model, color, license plate number, and description of the driver.

Our lawyers will help you work through your own insurance to seek compensation for your injuries, damages, and losses caused by a hit-and-run car driver.

How Can a Motorcyclist Avoid a Crash When a Car Turns Left in Front of Him or Her?

Our Philadelphia Motorcycle Accident Lawyer says that a car-motorcycle accident caused by a car driver turning left in front of the motorcyclist is probably the most common motorcycle crash scenario in our city.

If a car driver fails to notice a motorcycle rider or fails to properly judge the motorcyclist’s speed and turns in front of him or her at an intersection, that driver will most likely be held at fault for the accident unless the motorcyclist did something that contributed to the crash.

The only way a motorcyclist is reasonably expected to avoid this type of collision is by relying on his or her sixth sense to recognize the signs that a car driver may turn in front of his or her bike.

Who’s Liable if Your Motorcycle Hits an Unstable Surface?

Who can be held accountable for a motorcycle accident caused by a bike hitting a pothole, cracked pavement, or any other unstable surface? More often than not, motorcycle riders who seek legal representation may pursue a personal injury claim against the city of Philadelphia or other public entities whose negligence created the unstable surface or poor road condition.
