Liability in Philadelphia motorcycle crashes

As with other motor vehicle collisions, one or more vehicle operators may be to blame any given incident. Our Philadelphia motorcycle accident team regularly finds that drivers of passenger vehicles fail to give motorcyclists the space and respect they deserve on the roadway. Some of the common causes of motorcycle crashes include a passenger vehicle driver:

  • Following a motorcycle too closely
  • Passing a motorcycle too closely
  • Turning illegally in front of a motorcyclist

Of particular concern for Philadelphia, motorcyclists are vehicle drivers that are impaired by alcohol or drugs or distracted by their phones or other devices. When working to determine liability in these cases, a Philadelphia motorcycle accident lawyer will obtain any available evidence, which can include:

  • Photo or video surveillance of the crash
  • Statements from eyewitnesses to the incident
  • Official accident and police reports

A Philadelphia personal injury attorney will also obtain all of a motorcycle victim’s medical records and work with experts to properly calculate the victim’s total expected losses.
