What are the common causes of motorcycle accidents?

Motorcycle accidents happen for many reasons. Some of the most common causes we deal with at O'Malley & Langan include:

  • Distracted drivers - Drivers texting while driving and engaging in other dangerous activities frequently cause serious motorcycle accidents.
  • Inattentive drivers - Many drivers claim they didn't see the motorcyclist before causing an accident. The truth is many drivers simply aren't paying attention.
  • Reckless drivers - Drivers weaving in and out of traffic, tailgating and speeding up without warning frequently cause accidents involving motorcycles.
  • Speeding drivers - When drivers drive too fast, they don't have enough time to react to the traffic around them. Highway motorcycle accidents often involve speeding drivers.
  • Defective motorcycles or parts - Whether it's bad tire or faulty design, a manufacturing defect can have devastating consequences. The manufacturer may be entitled to pay compensation for your losses.

"What should I do if I'm involved in a motorcycle accident in Pennsylvania?"

We strongly recommended motorcyclists take the following steps if they've been involved in an accident caused by another driver and they are able to do so:

  • Contact the police. Having an official police report for your accident is critical. The report may be vital evidence to support your personal injury claim.
  • Gather information at your accident. Make sure you:
    • Obtain the other driver's name, address, phone number, insurance information.
    • Write down the exact location and time of your accident.
    • Take notes about traffic signs, including posted speed limits.
  • Talk to witnesses. Get their names and phone numbers in case you need to reach them.
  • Take photographs or video of your motorcycle accident. Focus in particular on:
    • Damage to vehicles
    • Skid marks or absence of them on road
    • Light conditions at accident scene
  • Seek emergency medical treatment even if you feel fine. Let a doctor diagnose you.
  • Call your insurance company. Give them basic facts of the accident, but don't discuss fault or give them a recorded statement without consulting with an attorney first.
  • Contact a motorcycle accident lawyer

"Why should I hire a Pennsylvania motorcycle accident lawyer?"

Motorcycle accidents might seem straightforward. The other driver caused the accident. His insurance company should compensate you. Maybe so. But in many cases, many insurance companies automatically blame motorcyclists for causing accidents involving other vehicles. The reason? Many people still have an outdated image of motorcyclists as reckless drivers who ignore the rules of the road and cause auto accidents. They might argue that riding is risky and try to lowball an offer or deny the claim.

We know the truth at O'Malley & Langan. Other drivers cause the vast majority of motorcycle accidents in Pennsylvania. That's because most motorcyclists are responsible riders who obey the rules of the road.

That's why we fight so hard for the rights of motorcycle accident victims. We believe individuals and entities that cause accidents should be held accountable for their actions. You didn't do anything wrong. Why should you pay for someone else's mistakes?
