The road should have represented freedom for you. Instead, it is now the source of pain and frustration. If you were hurt while riding your motorcycle in Pennsylvania, our Beaver motorcycle accident lawyers can work to get you freedom again.

We will pursue compensatory damages to free you from a motorbike crash’s financial burdens and psychological stress. Call Berger and Green, and our Beaver personal injury lawyers can provide a free consultation where you can learn more about legal options for recovery.

How Our Lawyers Work to Make a Difference in Your Beaver, PA, Bike Crash Case

The Insurance Information Institute (III) lays it out: motorcyclists are more likely to get hurt or lose their lives on the road than passenger vehicle occupants. Getting hurt means having medical bills and missing work. Bills and missed work mean more money going out than is coming in. That means financial stress, which can affect your health and make it hard to recover.

It’s a vicious cycle, but our attorneys can help break it. We work to remove several variables from the equation, such as the following:

• We will fight for damages to pay for your bills, cover your lost income, and compensate you for other losses.
• Our attorneys don’t charge you anything while we work on your case, so you don’t have to worry about another economic stressor.
• We do the work—calls, emails, filings, paperwork, negotiations—to lower your stress and help you heal.

In fact, we can take over as much of the process as possible. You don’t have to speak to an insurance adjuster. You don’t have to keep track of deadlines. You don’t even have to keep track of us, as we’ll do regular check-ins.

When Can You Seek Damages for a Beaver, PA, Bike Crash, and What Can You Get?

For accidents in Beaver, our motorcycle collision lawyers help you navigate Pennsylvania’s sometimes-complicated fault laws. Normally, your ability to recover damages can depend on what type of insurance coverage you opt for—full tort or limited tort.

However, motorcycles are an exception. You typically can pursue damages from the other party if you got hurt in a motorcycle crash and the other party was at fault. We must prove they were at fault, but we are prepared for that.

We can gather evidence to demonstrate that the other party:

1. Owed you a duty of care, meaning they should have paid attention to and obeyed traffic laws.
2. Violated it by acting recklessly, such as by driving drunk, texting and driving, or exceeding the speed limit.
3. Injured you through their reckless actions.
4. Owes you damages for your accident-related expenses.

If you aren’t sure if you have grounds to sue after getting hurt while riding your motorcycle, contact Berger and Green today. We can review your case’s details and determine your eligibility during a free, no-obligation consultation.

Recoverable Compensation for Motorcycle Cases

By demonstrating that the other party was negligent, we will prove you deserve compensation for all your losses, including:

• Medical bills from the accident, past and future
• Lost income and reduced income-earning ability
• Pain and suffering and emotional distress
• Reduced enjoyment of life
• Disfigurement or scarring

Our Beaver motorcycle accident attorneys use evidence like hospital bills, doctor’s notes and prescriptions, employment records, psychological diagnoses, and testimony from friends and family to prove you deserve these damages.

Wrongful Death Motorcycle Accident Cases

If your family member suffered injuries in a fatal crash, our Beaver wrongful death lawyers can work to recover damages on their and your behalf.

Wrongful death cases can involve more than one type of legal action, which can get confusing for families who are already overwhelmed with grief. Let us determine how to file. We will explain how these lawsuits work in Pennsylvania.

Who Is Liable for Your Beaver, PA, Motorbike Accident? We Will Investigate

What caused a crash is not always apparent, so our Beaver motorcycle accident lawyers can do some detective work. We don’t take an insurance investigator’s word for it, nor do we settle for easy answers. We follow every piece of evidence to identify every possible liable party.

When Drivers Are Responsible

Our Beaver car accident lawyers will consider if a passenger vehicle driver caused your collision. If so, we can either go through their insurer or file a lawsuit directly against them.

When Businesses Are Responsible

Some of the businesses potentially responsible for paying your expenses after a crash include:

• Trucking companies
• Rideshares and taxi services
• Product manufacturers
• Dealerships and auto shops
• Property owners

Trucking companies, rideshares, taxi services, and similar companies often share liability with negligent employees. They can also act negligently on their own, such as through poor training or failing to maintain their vehicles.

Product manufacturers, dealerships, and auto shops are responsible when faulty or poorly installed equipment fails and causes a crash or contributes to injuries. This could be something small, like a single missing piece, or something big, like a design flaw in all vehicles of a certain type.

Property owners must maintain their premises, including roads. If you were in an accident on private property because of a lack of road maintenance, insufficient signage about hazards, or other issues, we can determine who owns the property and seek damages from them.

How Long Can You Wait to File a Motorcycle Injury Claim or Suit in Beaver?

First, don’t wait! Find out exactly how long you have today by reaching out to Berger and Green. Waiting to file an insurance claim rouses the suspicion of adjusters and jeopardizes your possible damages.

For personal injury lawsuits, you generally have two years, according to Pa. C.S.A. § 5524. Again, don’t wait until the two years are almost up. That’s valuable time we can spend preparing and negotiating your case.

Moreover, some aspects of motorcycle accident cases can change how long you have, so we recommend that you don’t put off verifying the statute of limitations deadline in your case.
