Why Motorcycle Accident Cases Are Different — And Why You Need an Attorney Who Knows It

Motorcycle accident victims face a specific set of challenges that car accident victims don't. Insurance companies know this and exploit it. Here's what every injured rider in Pennsylvania needs to understand.

01

Insurance companies default to blaming the rider

"The motorcyclist was speeding." "They came out of nowhere." "They were weaving." These are the standard narratives insurance adjusters build from the moment they get the claim. We know every one of these tactics — and we know how to dismantle them with evidence.

02

Motorcycle injuries are catastrophic — and settlements should reflect that

Road rash, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage — motorcycle crashes cause far more serious injuries than car crashes at the same speed. Your case value is higher, which means the insurance company is more motivated to fight you. So are we.

03

Left-turn crashes are the most common — and most contested

The #1 cause of motorcycle fatalities is a car turning left in front of an oncoming motorcycle. The driver almost always claims they "didn't see" the bike. We prove they should have — through accident reconstruction, witness statements and physics.

04

PA law protects riders — if you have the right attorney

Pennsylvania's modified comparative negligence law means you can recover compensation even if you were partially at fault — as long as you were less than 51% responsible. Don't let an insurance adjuster's version of events define your percentage. We fight it.

Every Dollar a PA Motorcycle Victim Is Entitled To

Motorcycle accident compensation in Pennsylvania covers far more than the medical bill you've already received. We fight for every category including the ones insurance companies hope you don't know about.

Medical Bills — Past & Future

Emergency care, surgery, hospitalization, physical therapy, skin grafts for road rash, and all ongoing treatment costs for your injuries.

Lost Wages & Future Earning Capacity

Income lost during recovery plus permanent reduction in your ability to earn if your injuries have long-term effects on your work.

Pain & Suffering

Physical pain, emotional trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and the full impact your injuries have on your daily life — motorcycle crashes cause severe suffering that deserves full compensation.

Motorcycle & Gear Damage

Full replacement value of your motorcycle, helmet, riding gear, and any personal property destroyed or damaged in the crash.

Loss of Consortium

Compensation for the impact your injuries have on your marriage and family relationships — especially relevant in catastrophic motorcycle injury cases.

Punitive Damages

When a driver was under the influence, texting, or otherwise grossly negligent, additional punitive damages may be available on top of standard compensation.

What Happens After You Call

Simple, transparent, no surprises. Here's exactly what to expect from Pisanchyn Law after a motorcycle accident.

1

Free Consultation

We review the crash, your injuries, and what the other driver did. We assess your case completely free — no obligation, no pressure.

2

We Handle the Insurance Company

We deal directly with the adjuster from day one. You don't take their calls. You don't make statements. We handle every communication on your behalf.

3

We Build Your Case

We gather evidence, reconstruct the crash, obtain witness statements, and document every injury and damage — building the strongest possible case for full compensation.

4

You Get Paid

We fight for every dollar you're owed — settlement or trial. Our fee comes out of the recovery. You never pay us a single dollar out of pocket.

Injured Pennsylvania Riders We've Fought For

Hear from motorcycle accident victims across Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and NEPA who trusted Pisanchyn Law.

★★★★★
"A car turned left directly in front of me on Route 6. I went down hard — broken collarbone, road rash, concussion. The driver's insurance immediately said I was speeding. Pisanchyn Law got an accident reconstructionist involved, proved the driver never checked for oncoming traffic, and I received a settlement that covered everything. They fought hard."

"I was rear-ended at a stop light on my bike. The adjuster told me they were limiting my payout because I was on a motorcycle and 'assumed the risk.' I called Pisanchyn Law the same day. That argument went nowhere in front of them. I got full compensation for my injuries, my bike, and my lost work. Don't let them use that against you."

"My husband was seriously injured when a distracted driver drifted into his lane. The insurance company's first offer was insulting. Pisanchyn Law took over immediately, documented every aspect of his injuries and recovery, and secured a settlement that will actually take care of us. I can't thank them enough."

Motorcycle Accident Questions We Hear Every Day

The insurance company says I was at fault because I'm a motorcycle rider. What can I do?

Don't accept their narrative. "Blame the rider" is the default opening position for insurance companies in motorcycle claims — it is a negotiating tactic, not a legal finding. Pennsylvania law requires proof of fault, not assumptions. We investigate the crash independently, obtain witness statements, review surveillance footage if available, and in complex cases use accident reconstruction experts to establish exactly what happened. We have countered this tactic many times. Call us before you say anything to the adjuster.

Can I recover compensation if I wasn't wearing a helmet?

Pennsylvania requires helmets only for riders under 21 or those without at least two years of riding experience. If you were legally permitted to ride without a helmet, it cannot be used against your claim. If you were required to wear a helmet and weren't, the insurance company will argue it affected your head injuries — but this only potentially reduces the portion of damages related to head injury, not your entire claim. Call us to discuss your specific situation — the answer depends on your age, experience, and the nature of your injuries.

How much is my motorcycle accident case worth?

Motorcycle cases are often worth more than car accident cases involving similar fault because the injuries are more severe. Factors that affect value include the severity of your injuries, your total medical costs including future treatment, lost wages and future earning capacity, the degree of the other driver's fault, and whether punitive damages apply. Cases involving road rash requiring skin grafts, fractures, TBI, or spinal injuries carry significant value. We evaluate your specific situation for free and give you an honest, realistic assessment.

What if the driver who hit me doesn't have insurance?

You may still have a path to compensation. If you have uninsured motorist coverage on your motorcycle policy, that coverage applies. If the at-fault driver has assets, we can pursue a judgment against them directly. We also review whether any other parties share liability — in some cases the road conditions, a vehicle defect, or a third party's negligence contributed to the crash. Call us and we'll identify every available avenue for recovery in your specific situation.

How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims including motorcycle accidents, running from the date of the crash. Miss this deadline and you permanently lose your right to compensation — no exceptions. Don't wait. The sooner you call us, the stronger your case will be — evidence is fresher, witnesses are easier to locate, and surveillance footage hasn't been deleted. Our consultation is completely free regardless of when you call.
