\n\t\tPennsylvania Helmet Laws\n\t<\/h3>\n\t
Pennsylvania law requires anyone\u00a0that operates\u00a0or rides a motorcycle to wear a helmet unless they are over\u00a0the age of\u00a021 and have either two years of riding experience or a completed motorcycle safety course. Motorcyclists with learner’s permits must wear a helmet no matter\u00a0what age they are.\u00a0And, motorcycle passengers do not have to wear helmets if they are 21 years old or older. Moreover, motorcycle helmets must meet standards approved by the United States Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n
Wearing a helmet reduces the severity of a head injury and can save lives.\u00a0The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) says that over 1,600 bikers\u00a0are saved\u00a0every year because they\u00a0were\u00a0wearing\u00a0a proper\u00a0helmet.\u00a0Studies\u00a0have found that helmets reduce the risk of death by 37-42 percent.<\/p>\n
\n\t\tMotorcycle Accident Causes\n\t<\/h3>\n\t
It is a common misconception that motorcycle riders are aggressive and irresponsible. Often\u00a0motorcycle\u00a0wrecks are caused by drivers. Vehicle miles traveled by motorcycles reveal that bikers\u00a0are killed\u00a027 times more often than motorists.\u00a0This\u00a0is further supported\u00a0by data that shows that motorcyclists\u00a0are killed\u00a038 times more often than occupants of cars.<\/p>\n
Motorcyclists do not cause a large number of accidents. In the aftermath of motorcycle accidents, drivers admit\u00a0that they\u00a0did not see the biker. Motorcycles are often invisible to drivers. <\/p>\n\t
The frequency and severity of motorcycle accidents across Pennsylvania have prompted the government and state police to work to reduce this trend. The ad campaign “Share the Road with Motorcycles” aims to educate drivers to watch out for bikers.\u00a0Live Free Ride Alive is operated by the state and seeks to inform the public about motorcycle figures,\u00a0fact, training programs, permits\u00a0and\u00a0license tests.\u00a0Nevertheless, accidents still happen.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\tMost Common Motorcycle Injuries\n\t<\/h3>\n\t
Motorcycle accidents frequently result in severe injuries, or even death, to the biker and their passenger(s). Motorcycles lack the same protections offered by vehicles. Therefore, bikers often sustain serious injuries. The most common injuries from motorcycle wrecks include, but are not limited to:\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\n\t\tMotorcycle Accident Compensation\n\t<\/h3>\n\t
In Pennsylvania,\u00a0you are required to have motorcycle insurance. However, motorcycle insurance is\u00a0a little\u00a0different from car insurance.<\/p>\n
Generally, motorcycle insurance does not cover medical expenses suffered in an accident, regardless of who is to blame. That means your bills will go to your health insurance company, and the rest of the costs will pass to you.\u00a0This\u00a0does not limit you from seeking compensation for your injuries and damages from the at-fault person. However, if you were at fault for the accident, you\u00a0will need to\u00a0pay for your medical and damage expenses. Now, if you were partly at fault, you may still be eligible to recover\u00a0a portion\u00a0of your damages.<\/p>\n
MyPhillyLawyer aggressively pursues all negligent parties following a motorcycle accident. Did a car turn left illegally in front of the motorcycle? Did your city neglect to warn of dangers such as sharp curves? Was the motorcycle engine defective? Was your bike rear-ended? Whatever caused the accident, we will find out who was responsible and work to obtain compensation from them to help our clients cope with injury and loss.<\/p>\n

\n\t\tFrom our clients\n\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t
I have had a great experience at MyPhillyLawyer.<\/h2>
They all have shown care, respect and consideration throughout, from the front desk to the back conference room. The efforts of Dean to ensure I would get a fair settlement was second to none. I would truly recommend Dean Weitzman and staff to friends and family.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tI highly recommend Dean Weitzman.<\/h2>
He was empathetic and listened carefully to the impact the accident had upon my physical and mental health. I believe he negotiated the very best settlement he could have gotten.<\/p>\n
– Christina Robertson<\/em><\/p>\n
\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tMy experience with MyPhilly lawyer has been wonderful. <\/h2>
There is nothing better than feeling like the team is on your side. The staff has always taken my calls, no matter what time. I can honestly say I’m extremely grateful for MyPhillyLawyer.<\/p>\n
– Corynna Martin<\/em><\/p>\n
\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tExceeded my expectations! <\/h2>
Lawyers and staff members were a pleasure to interact with. My case seemed hopeless. I was injured in an accident where the other driver was underinsured. The firm went over and a above make sure I was compensated for my injuries.<\/p>\n
– Linda Elkins<\/em><\/p>\n
\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tI put my trust in this team and they have delivered.<\/h2>
My experience with this firm has been amazing. I lost my daughter in a hit-and-run on Roosevelt Blvd. We believed The city and Penndot were responsible for the disastrous design of the intersection that caused the accident. Dean and John won us a settlement, to me that settlement meant the city and Penndot are taking responsibility.<\/p>\n
