Motorcycle Accident Lawyer
Pennsylvania Personal Injury Lawyers
Motorcycle accident victims are 35 times more likely to die in an accident than those in passenger vehicles, and nine times more likely to get hurt, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA). Motorcycle drivers are incredibly exposed on their bikes with only leather jackets, jeans, and a protective helmet standing between them and the pavement.
This exposure contributes to very serious motorcycle accident injuries, including spinal cord injuries, fractures, lacerations, road rash, severe bruising, and traumatic brain injuries. These injuries can involve long hospital stays, invasive surgeries, lengthy rehabilitation stints, and very high costs. Pennsylvania motorcycle accident victims may no longer be able to work and earn the money needed to cover the costs of recovery.
Why You Need a Motorcycle Accident Attorney
The rights of Pennsylvania motorcycle accident victims can be difficult to defend. Although motorcyclists have a bad reputation for speeding and reckless driving, it is often other drivers on the road whose negligence causes serious accidents.
Drivers of passenger vehicles sometimes fail to look properly before changing lanes on the highway, don't allow enough space for motorcycle drivers to maneuver, or fail to fully stop at intersections. With more than 90 percent of all motorcycle accidents happening on non-interstate roads, according to the NHTSA, these seemingly small mistakes can be fatal.
An experienced and aggressive Pennsylvania motorcycle accident lawyer has what it takes to fight this reputation and ensure victims get the money they need to cover the costs of medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Ostroff Injury Law is staffed with these injury attorneys, and we will fight for you when you've been hurt in an accident.
