Dedicated Motorcycle Accident Representation
Motorcycle accidents often result in catastrophic injuries due to the lack of protection motorcyclists have compared to occupants of passenger vehicles. At Georgelis, Larsen & Sabatino Injury Law Firm, P.C., our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers understand the unique challenges that motorcycle accident victims face and are committed to protecting riders' rights.
We know that motorcyclists are often unfairly blamed for accidents, even when another driver's negligence was the cause. Our legal team fights aggressively to overcome bias and ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve for your injuries.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents in Lancaster and throughout Pennsylvania are often caused by:
- Drivers failing to see motorcyclists ("looked but didn't see")
- Left-turn accidents at intersections
- Lane splitting or unsafe lane changes by other drivers
- Road hazards (potholes, gravel, debris)
- Distracted driving
- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- Speeding and reckless driving
- Failure to yield right-of-way
- Dooring accidents (car doors opening into motorcyclists)
- Tailgating and following too closely
Serious Injuries from Motorcycle Crashes
Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to severe injuries, including:
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
- Spinal cord injuries and paralysis
- Road rash and severe skin abrasions
- Multiple bone fractures
- Amputation of limbs
- Internal organ damage
- Severe burns
- Facial injuries and dental damage
- Permanent scarring and disfigurement
Fighting Motorcycle Bias
Unfortunately, motorcyclists often face unfair stereotypes and bias after an accident. Insurance companies and juries may incorrectly assume that the motorcyclist was driving recklessly or is somehow responsible for the crash. Our attorneys have extensive experience combating these prejudices and presenting the facts to show that another driver's negligence caused your accident.
Pennsylvania Motorcycle Laws
Pennsylvania has specific laws that affect motorcycle accident cases, including:
- Helmet requirements for riders and passengers
- Lane usage restrictions
- Equipment and lighting requirements
- Licensing and endorsement requirements
- Insurance coverage requirements
Our attorneys thoroughly understand Pennsylvania motorcycle laws and how they apply to your case.
