Attorneys Helping Motorcycle Accident Victims
Across Western Pennsylvania
A motorcycle operator or passenger is particularly vulnerable to injury—a bike does not offer any protection to the rider in a crash. As a result, any accident is likely to result in a serious injury such as road rash or a broken shoulder, and there is a high potential for a catastrophic injury such as a broken back or brain damage.
Other issues, including the behavior of drivers of other motor vehicles, the instability of a bike when encountering an obstacle in the road, and defective after-market equipment, are contributing factors to the high incidence of motorcycle accidents on Pennsylvania highways.
At Woomer & Hall, our Pittsburgh law firm, our personal injury lawyers have successfully recovered compensation for victims of motorcycle accidents, relying on a network of accident reconstructionists, physicians, and medical experts to see that our clients recover maximum compensation for their losses. Do not assume that there is not auto insurance to cover your medical expenses.
The Result Matters: As personal injury lawyers, our representation is focused on results—verdicts and settlements. We have successfully recovered millions for our clients, compensation they have used to rebuild their lives.
What were the circumstances surrounding your motorcycle accident? Please feel free to contact our office and arrange a free consultation. Each injury is unique—our attorneys will evaluate all aspects of your claim and explain your legal situation.
- If the driver of the car never saw the motorcycle, the rider may have a negligence claim.
- If a biker was cut off by a car and laid the bike down on loose gravel, there may be several sources of compensation.
- An accident victim who suffered a spinal cord injury and will spend his or her life in a wheelchair as a result of tire or equipment failure can pursue a product liability lawsuit.
- An insurance settlement offer may be inadequate compensation for a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
- A violation of Pennsylvania's helmet law does not mean a rider will not get compensation for a head injury. In Pennsylvania, riders under the age of 21, riders who have had a motorcycle license for less than two years, and riders who have not completed an approved motorcycle safety course must wear helmets.
Consult with a lawyer before making any decisions about your claim: It is extremely important to seek advice from an attorney with experience in your type of case before making a statement to an insurance company representative or signing a settlement form. You may have multiple claims, or your insurance company may be undervaluing your loss.
