Motorcycles offer an unmatched sense of freedom, but they also come with unique risks. Riding can quickly turn dangerous when negligent drivers fail to share the road responsibly. Too often, safe motorcyclists sustain life-changing injuries due to unsafe drivers, and these drivers should be accountable for all resulting losses.
If you or someone you love has been injured in a motorcycle accident, you deserve a legal advocate who understands the challenges motorcyclists face — both on the road and in the courtroom.
The Cycle Attorney legal team understands Pennsylvania motorcycle culture and respects your right to ride safely and obtain compensation when drivers cause you harm. We are dedicated to standing up for injured riders, ensuring they receive the full and fair compensation they are entitled to under Pennsylvania law.

Motorcycle Accident Injuries and Damages
Motorcycle accidents often result in catastrophic injuries because riders lack the same protections afforded to drivers in enclosed vehicles. In Pennsylvania, even though helmet laws exist, a helmet alone cannot prevent all injuries. From broken bones and road rash to traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and spinal cord damage, the consequences of a motorcycle crash can be devastating and life-altering.
Medical bills quickly pile up, missed workdays turn into substantial lost wages, and emotional trauma can weigh heavily on victims and their families. That’s why having the right Pennsylvania motorcycle accident attorney by your side is critical.
Motorcycle accident claims often involve damages beyond just medical bills and property damage. You may also be entitled to compensation for lost earning potential, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and even punitive damages in cases involving egregious negligence.
Calculating the full value of your case requires a skilled legal team that understands the long-term impacts of motorcycle crash injuries, not just the immediate costs. Start by calling The Cycle Attorney law firm today.
Liability for Motorcycle Crashes
Our attorneys understand how to identify liable parties in motorcycle claims and pursue compensation through the proper channels for each client. Drivers are often to blame for motorcyclist injuries due to negligence, which can include:
- Distracted driving
- Impaired driving
- Aggressive driving
- Improper lane changes
- Failure to yield to motorcycles
- Running motorcycles off the road
- Speeding
- Running stoplights and signs
In addition to drivers, we might identify other liable parties, including employers of negligent drivers who were on the job when they caused the accident, or even government agencies if a preventable road hazard caused the crash.
You should stay focused on your medical treatment and allow The Cycle Attorney team to focus on proving liability.
Dealing with Insurance Companies After a Motorcycle Accident
Dealing with insurance companies after a motorcycle crash can be difficult. Many insurance adjusters are quick to downplay motorcyclists’ injuries or wrongfully shift blame onto the rider. Unfortunately, there is still a widespread bias that paints motorcyclists as reckless, even when they are the victims of someone else’s negligence.
Our Pennsylvania motorcycle accident lawyers know how to counter these tactics. We thoroughly investigate each case, gathering police reports, medical records, witness statements, and accident reconstruction evidence to build a compelling claim that tells your full story.
Our firm also understands Pennsylvania’s insurance laws as they apply to motorcycles. Unlike car insurance policies, motorcycle policies typically do not provide personal injury protection (PIP). This makes it even more important to pursue claims against negligent drivers and their insurance companies to cover medical expenses and other losses.
We are well-versed in dealing with these issues and are prepared to fight for every dollar you deserve from the at-fault driver’s insurer.
