Motorcycle Accidents in Pennsylvania

Motorcycle riders, unfortunately, are at a disadvantage on our roads when it comes to accidents. Because motorcyclists have no protection from harm, they are likely to become seriously injured or killed when involved in an accident with another vehicle. In 2020, it was reported that approximately 3,398 motorcycle accidents took place in Pennsylvania, with approximately 215 of these accidents leading to fatalities. Losing a loved one in one of these accidents can be incredibly life-altering in nature. If you have lost someone close to you in a motorcycle accident, you should speak with an attorney that you can trust.
