There is good news/bad news associated with this exhilarating experience of letting the sun warm your face while the wind blows through your hair.  The good news is that motorcycle injuries in the U.S. have been on a slight decline since 2016, according to the Motorcycle Industry Council.  The bad news is that motorcycle injury statistics still indicate an alarming number of motorcycle-related accidents every year, resulting in tragic injuries and death.  In 2019, a staggering 84,000 motorcyclists were injured and 5,014 lost their lives in the US.

A big part of the problem lies with other drivers who are not intently alert to cycles that might be sharing the road.  Perhaps this type of situation has hit home for you or a loved one who has suffered the consequences of a motorcycle collision.  As a result, medical services and financial support may be a real concern for you – this is where our motorcycle injury attorneys come in!

One of your first steps after being involved in a cycle accident should be to seek strong legal counsel.  You want to receive every penny of compensation you are entitled to.  Our motorcycle accident lawyers in Lancaster, PA will leave no legal stone unturned to help you achieve the desired outcome.

Having authoritative and aggressive lawyers on your side is absolutely critical, partly, because insurance companies will utilize powerful lawyers on their side to strip you of as much compensation as possible.

Motorcycle Accidents – What To Do and Not Do

Understandably, insurance companies desire to make a profit, and they often do whatever they can to minimize their losses by minimizing what motor cycle accident victims might qualify for.  There are a handful of things one must never do at the scene of the accident:

Do not admit fault since your perception of what occurred may not be 100%, accurate.  Do not tell the other party involved, nor a police officer, that you accept blame for the accident. Don’t even apologize, since that could be misconstrued as an admission of guilt by the insurance company and jeopardize your defense.

Do not forgo a police report even if the accident was a minor fender bender.  Not filing a police report could give your insurance company a legitimate reason to not cover your cycle’s damages or your medical bills.  Obtaining the other party’s information is not enough.

Do not assume you are OK since some injuries will surface days, weeks, or months after a collision.  A bump on the head for example, could eventually prove to be very serious. Whiplash can present symptoms that are much more severe days and weeks after the accident. It is critical to get checked out by a medical professional to be sure you don’t have any injuries that could prove to be more serious in the short-term or the long run.

Do not speak with the insurance company of other drivers involved in the motorcycle accident. These insurance companies have their insured and their own financial best interest in mind, not your best interest. Giving any kind of a statement—whether written or verbal, recorded or not, etc.—could compromise the strength and value of your claim.

Do contact our motorcycle injury attorney team at Georgelis Law! This should be among one of the first steps you take after a motorcycle collision has occurred.  This is critical since motorcycle accidents and the injuries they cause can generate intense opposition from the other side.  Our motorcycle accident lawyers in Lancaster, PA will protect your rights inside and outside of the courtroom.

Fortunately, as one of our clients, you can take a deep breath and feel peace-of-mind knowing our motorcycle injury attorneys will fight tooth-and-nail to ensure you receive comprehensive medical services and the fullest financial compensation you are entitled to.

The two biggest factors in valuing your case hinge on the liability of the at-fault driver(s) and extent of the damages—i.e., economic and non-economic losses, like out-of-pocket medical expenses, pain and suffering, present and future wage loss. Our legal team will scrutinize every meticulous detail to ensure a desired outcome is realized.

Motorcyclists must never let down their guard.  When cars and motorcycles collide, catastrophic injuries are commonplace.  According to the Insurance Information Institute, in accidents involving motorcycles, almost 80% of motorcyclists are impacted on the front end, leading to tragic results.

Bicycles, too, pose an unarguable danger for motorcyclists.  Bicyclists who ignore the rules of the road can find themselves running into a motorcycle or creating circumstances where motorcyclists run into them.  If you experienced injuries as a motorcyclist that involved a bicycle or car collision, please call our legal team, immediately.  We will advise you concerning your best move forward.

Motorcycle Injury – Pedestrian Collisions

Georgelis Law deals with motorcycle/pedestrian collisions of all types, and every type is extremely unfortunate.  As a motorcyclist, did you hit a pedestrian?  As a pedestrian, were you hit by a motorcyclist?  If you suffered injuries, call our motorcycle-injury team so we can inform you of your legal options.

Expediency is very important regarding the statute of limitations.  For personal injury cases in Pennsylvania involving vehicles, the statute of limitations is two years.  The date begins on the date the motorcycle accident occurred.  Waiting too long can jeopardize your compensation qualifications.  Don’t hesitate – give our team a call!

Motorcycle Injury – Distracted-Driving Accidents

Mobile phones, as wonderful and as convenient as they are, can contribute to distracted-driving accidents.  Drivers who should be watching the road instead of watching their phones can plow into a motorcycle in a split second.

If you, as a cyclist, feel mobile phone usage contributed to your accident and injuries, our motorcycle accident lawyers in Lancaster, PA can obtain evidence from a cell phone that could greatly help with proving your case and obtaining maximum compensation for your damages and losses!

There are other drivers who take their eyes off the road to talk with a passenger, change a radio station, put makeup on, answer a mobile phone call, or to daydream.  Any which way, motorcyclists can face the consequences of severe injuries or death.  Call our team to determine if you qualify for substantial financial compensation – the sooner the better!

Our motorcycle injury attorneys are extremely well versed in excellent settlement values.  Without legal counsel, an accident-injury victim could remain totally unaware of all the money an insurance company has set aside to potentially pay the injured party’s claim.  As a result, tens of thousands—to hundreds of thousands of dollars could be left on the table!  Don’t let that happen to you – leave it to Georgelis, Larsen & Sabatino Injury Law Firm, P.C. to know what your injuries are worth!

The seriousness of your or your loved one’s injuries will weigh heavily on the final compensation outcome.  A payout could range from thousands of dollars to a million dollars or more, depending on the severity of injuries and what level of pain and suffering one is experiencing or will continue to experience.

Our motorcycle injury attorneys have a great understanding of the values that should be placed on injuries due to decades of experience with handling these types of cases.

Bottom line:  motorcycle injury attorneys almost always win larger settlements than what insurance companies offer the victims involved going at it alone.  Insurance companies employ highly-skilled negotiators to do their bidding.  Our injury attorneys will ‘check-mate’ those opponents to ensure you and your right to compensation are protected.

Sometimes Gems are Embedded in the Details

Our motorcycle injury attorneys will look for all available insurance coverages.  For example, there may be insurance coverage you may not be aware of, such as additional bodily injury liability coverage or an umbrella policy.  A hypothetical case in point:  a client who would have initially received $100,000 in a settlement could receive double that amount if additional liability coverage is discovered by his or her injury attorney.

Our accident lawyers investigate every nook and cranny to uncover details that could greatly benefit our clients’ claims and their right to compensation.  It is vital to seek a motorcycle injury attorney as soon as possible for this reason.  Also, our attorneys uncover, preserve, and utilize valuable evidence that benefits our clients’ cases.  Evidence such as ‘event data recorders’ or black boxes in vehicles can help solidify the strength of our client’s case in terms of proving liability on the part of the other driver.

Since 2006, the U.S. has embedded event data recorders in most vehicles.  An estimated 96% of newer vehicles are equipped with an event data recorder.  The whole point of a vehicle’s black box is to record the seconds leading up to an accident to help determine what actions or inactions on the part of drivers involved contributed to causing the collision.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also uses these devices to collect vehicle accident data.

A vehicle’s black box could reveal valuable information regarding a car/truck/SUV involved with a motorcycle accident.  Details including the speed of the vehicle, brake application, steering angles and other critical data would be recorded just before the crash, during the crash, and shortly after the crash.
