Lawsuits to recover compensation for injuries sustained in motorcycle accidents tend to differ from those involving traditional motor vehicle accidents because of the severity of the injuries that typically result from motorcycle accidents. In many cases, drivers of motor vehicles, large trucks and even commercial vehicles may fail to responsibly check for motorcycles before changing lanes or turning, creating a situation where a relatively small and unprotected motorcycle is overwhelmed by the larger vehicle. Because of this, motorcycle accident victims commonly sustain permanent injuries, or injuries that require extended treatment and recovery time.

Many of the injuries sustained by motorcycle accident victims can be severe and difficult to recover from, if not permanent. Common injuries we have fought to obtain compensation for include:
Recovering from these injuries can be time consuming and expensive, and, unfortunately, motorcycle accident victims are often unable to return to work for a period of time following the accident—which magnifies the importance of recovering full and fair compensation from the insurance companies and, in some cases, the negligent or reckless driver who may have caused your accident.
Although motorcycles have the same right to share the Pennsylvania roadways as any other motor vehicle, victims of motorcycle accidents often find it difficult to obtain the compensation that they deserve to recover from their injuries. Unfortunately, insurance companies often try to shift the blame for severe injuries onto the accident victim by claiming that the victim knew it was dangerous to operate the motorcycle in the first place. This line of reasoning is unacceptable, and, at the Marrone Law Firm, our experienced motorcycle accident lawyers can take on the burden of refuting the insurance company’s claims and fighting to obtain full compensation for:

Under Pennsylvania law, motorcyclists who are 21 years of age or older are not required to wear a helmet to operate a motorcycle, as long as the individual has either (1) been licensed to operate the motorcycle in Pennsylvania for at least two years or (2) completed a motorcycle safety course that has been approved by the state. Even if you were found to be partially at fault for the accident, Pennsylvania law allows you to recover compensation so long as you were not more negligent than the other party.
First and foremost, our lawyers evaluate your injuries, gather evidence and consult with experts to get a realistic sense of the possible future expenses that the accident could cause. We will negotiate with the insurance companies in order to obtain a settlement that fully reflects the value of your case so that you are protected in the future. If we are unable to reach a fair agreement with the insurance companies and opposing attorneys, we will file a lawsuit and enter into a phase known as “discovery”, during which we will exchange evidence with the opposing attorneys. In many cases, once the opposing side has viewed the extensive evidence and strong case that we will build, they will be motivated to agree to a settlement award. In other cases, we will proceed to trial and fight on your behalf every step of the way.
