Motorcycle Accidents in Pennsylvania

The United States Department of Transportation estimates that there will be 8.3 million motorcycles with valid license plates nationwide this year. Of course, several factors make riding a motorcycle attractive, including its affordability and mobility and the independence and enjoyment one provides to a rider.

On the other hand, there are also major risks to the overall safety of the rider or passenger 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 drivers who are careless or reckless on our roadways.
