Motorcycle Accidents
Pittsburgh Motorcycle Accident Lawyers
Since the repeal of Pennsylvania's helmet law, motorcycle drivers have become even more susceptible to severe crash injuries. Accident victims typically suffer head and brain injuries, serious skin damage, and spinal cord injuries. Many of these injuries are life-altering and career ending. Some victims will require life-long care. Riders and their families frequently wonder how they will cope with the expense of such care. Even if recovery is ultimately possible, the healing period is lengthy. In short, motorcycle accident victims also have important financial concerns.
Motorcycle riders can obtain payment for their injuries
If you or a loved one is involved in a motorcycle crash, contact a knowledgeable lawyer immediately to learn about your legal rights and options. At the Pittsburgh injury law firm of Ronald J. Bua & Associates, our attorneys help motorcycle riders recover payment for their injuries, lost wages, and medical expenses caused by an accident. We also help survivors of riders who suffered a wrongful death in a motorcycle crash obtain compensation for their loss.
Drivers of other vehicles are required to look for motorcycles
Drivers of other vehicles are required to watch out for motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Motorcycles are particularly hard to see, requiring extra vigilance on the part of car and truck drivers. Because they are part of the traffic flow, motorcycles are most vulnerable when riding in a car's "blind spot". Cars can suddenly turn into the path of an unseen motorcycle, requiring the rider to lay the bike down to avoid a crash. Even evasive action such as this results in severe injuries to the rider, including head and brain injuries, and significant skin abrasions.
Know your rights after a motorcycle accident
Motorcycle riders have the same rights as other drivers. If you have been injured because another driver failed to keep a proper lookout for motorcycles, contact a lawyer for advice on how to file a claim for compensation for your injuries.
