Unique Motorcycle Accidents and Injuries
Many serious motorcycle crashes on rural roads occur when drivers cannot see the rider approaching. This may happen if the motorcyclist is traveling in the driver’s blind spot or due to poor roadway design and lighting. Additionally, Lancaster drivers may fail to yield the right of way to riders under the mistaken belief that they don’t have the same rights as drivers. These serious merging and T-bone accidents often result in the following significant injuries commonly associated with motorcycle accidents:
- Compression (crushing) fractures
- Amputations
- Friction burns (road rash)
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Paralysis
- Disc herniations
- Broken hips
- Organ damage
In many cases, it’s not uncommon for injured cyclists to develop anxiety disorders such as PTSD, robbing them of their ability to enjoy their lifestyle. Our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers understand common rider injuries and will fight to obtain fair compensation after a crash in Lancaster.
Damages Recoverable After Lancaster Motorcycle Crashes
Injured motorcyclists may be entitled to personal injury damages under Pennsylvania law. With dedicated advocacy, the Cycle Attorney might help you and your family recover financial compensation for the following.
Medical Bills
Personal injury damages generally include compensation for all past and future anticipated medical expenses. Our legal professionals might help you recover damages for rehabilitation, medical equipment, hospitalizations, and even necessary medical transportation and home modifications.
Lost Wages
In addition to medical compensation, our lawyers will demand damages for all work-related losses. This may include direct compensation for lost income and any financial losses associated with reduced work capacity and lost benefits.
Pain and Suffering
Pennsylvania does not limit pain and suffering damages in motorcycle accident cases. Injured riders may demand the value of their physical pain, emotional suffering, and lost enjoyment of life. This includes the financial value of any inability to ride due to anxiety or physical injuries.
In some cases, our experienced motorcycle injury attorneys can demand damages for your spouse and direct compensation for motorcycle damage. Do not trust the insurance company to make you a fair offer after a Lancaster motorcycle accident. Always discuss the value of your case with dedicated legal counsel.
