Motorcycle Accidents in Pennsylvania
According to researchers and traffic analysts at the United States Department of Transportation, estimates state that there will be well over eight million motorcycles with valid license plates on our roadways nationwide this year. Of course, several factors make riding a motorcycle attractive, including its affordability and mobility and the independence and enjoyment it provides 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 careless or reckless drivers on our roadways.
