Motorcycle Accidents in Pennsylvania 

Motorcycle accidents are not as common as many other accidents on our roads. However, when they do occur, they tend to lead to some of the most extensive harm to those involved. This is due to the fact that motorcyclists have no protection from harm in the event of an accident. In 2020 alone, it was reported that approximately 3,398 motorcycle accidents took place in the state of Pennsylvania. Approximately 215 people lost their lives in these horrific accidents. Drivers are expected to watch out for motorcyclists at all times so that these accidents can be prevented.
