What Compensation Can I Recover After a Motorcycle Accident?

Victims may be entitled to various forms of compensation in a motorcycle accident claim. There are two primary types of recoverable damages:

  • Economic damages for direct financial losses, such as medical bills, treatment costs, lost income and future earning capacity, and property damage.
  • Non-economic damages for intangible losses, such as pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent scarring or disfigurement.

We can assess every avenue for financial recovery to pursue the maximum compensation available to you. We leave no stone unturned in our investigations to position your claim for success.

How Long Do I Have to File a Motorcycle Accident Claim in Pennsylvania?

In Pennsylvania, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a motorcycle accident claim. This is known as the statute of limitations. Missing this deadline can bar you from recovering compensation, making it imperative to have a knowledgeable injury lawyer on your side. We can help you meet legal deadlines, complete the required forms, and file a claim within the appropriate timeframe.



Who Is Liable for Damages in a Motorcycle Accident Claim?

Proving liability is a tricky yet critical step to recovering compensation after a motorcycle crash. Some potentially liable parties include:

  • Other motorists. If another driver caused the accident through negligence, such as running a red light or driving recklessly, they may be liable. 
  • Manufacturers. If the crash resulted from a defective part in the motorcycle, the manufacturer may be held responsible. 
  • Commercial employers. If a rideshare or delivery driver caused the collision, their employer may be liable for damages.
  • Government entities. If the accident resulted from poor road conditions, the entity responsible for maintaining safe roadways may be responsible.
