 MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS & INJURIES
 
 

Motorcycles lack the weight and safety features of an automobile. There are no air bags or seat belts to offer protection in the event of an accident.  As a result, approximately 80 percent of motorcycle accidents end in injury or death. 

In a recent study, statistics shows that about 70% of motorcycle collisions are the result of motorists being unable  to detect motorcyclists until it was too late.  There are many other factors that can also contribute to the cause of a motorcycle accident:
- Unsafe Speed
- Limited Visibility
- Drugs and Alcohol
- Road Conditions
- Riding Skill
- Weather


By working with experienced motorcycle accident lawyers, victims can have some control and participation in ensuring that their rights and interests are protected.


Under Pennsylvania's laws, if you have been injured in a motorcycle accident that was caused by another person’s carelessness or recklessness, you may be entitled to recover damages that include medical costs, property loss, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Please call Munley, Munley & Cartwright’s lawyers for a free assessment of your case. We have offices conveniently located in Stroudsburg, Carbondale, Hamlin, Hazleton, Scranton, and Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Free Case Evaluation - Car Accidents - Auto Wrecks - CollisionsYou should be thoroughly examined by a doctor, since seemingly minor injuries often develop into major health problems. Even if you do not have any broken bones, cuts, lacerations or bruises, you may have sustained a connective- tissue injury; which could lead to long term adverse effects if left untreated. The at-fault party's insurance company is responsible for paying for all of your damages that were a result of the accident.

Motorcycle accident victims and the families of those who have died in motorcycle-related accidents face a challenging situation that is further complicated by the complex Pennsylvania insurance laws and legal issues. As a business, insurance companies are primarily concerned with limiting their payout and your needs are secondary. While the insurance company may present what you think is an attractive settlement offer, it is in your best interests to contact an attorney who will put your needs before the insurance company interests. It is always best to discuss your situation with a skilled attorney before you decide to enter into discussions with an insurance representative.

The Munley, Munley & Cartwright firm has years of experience in dealing with insurance companies and handling accident claims. We are familiar with all of the techniques that the insurance companies may use to influence you to settle quickly and for less compensation. Insurance companies have a team of investigators, adjustors, agents and legal help to protect them. As the accident victim, you need your own team of legal experts to protect you.

If the person responsible for your injuries does not have insurance coverage or their coverage does not sufficiently provide for your damages, you may be entitled to collect uninsurance or underinsurance.

In motorcycle mishaps, negligence is the failure of a vehicle operator to exercise due care which resulted in an accident, injury or death. Although it is a difficult allegation to prove, our lawyers are experienced in demonstrating negligence by preparing the proper documentation, interviewing witnesses and presenting a case that meets the criteria for negligence established by Pennsylvania law. If the accident was caused by a motorcycle defect, you may also be eligible to receive punitive damages from the manufacturer and/or supplier.

Because of the complexities involved in motorcycle accident cases, it is important that you act quickly and contact an attorney with any questions or issues. Proving negligence takes an investment of time, experience, and resources – advantages that only a qualified attorney can provide. At Munley, Munley & Cartwright, our goal is to provide exceptional legal services to our clients. We strive to achieve the highest standard of excellence for the protection of individual rights through team work and the use of our considerable resources and experience. Whether we’re gathering evidence, giving advice, or talking with insurance companies, we are always your representative.
