Deadly Motorcycle Accidents in Pennsylvania

Per the United States Department of Transportation, 8.3 million motorcycles with valid license plates will traverse our streets and roadways nationwide this year. Of course, several factors make motorcycles attractive, including their affordability and mobility and the independence and enjoyment a bike provides to a rider.

On the other hand, there are also significant risks to the riders’ or passengers’ overall safety on motorcycles. Motorcycle riders have a higher chance of being seriously injured on the road compared to other drivers, and they are especially vulnerable to critical injuries when they are involved in collisions with careless or reckless drivers on our roadways.
