Of all drivers on the road, motorcyclists are at the most risk for accident and injury. Our Scranton motorcycle accident lawyers in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania have decades of experience and can protect your rights in an accident claim or lawsuit.
Vulnerability to serious injury
Motorcycles offer very little structural protection to the rider. No metal encasement shields the rider in a crash, and consequently, motorcycle accidents typically result in serious injury or death.
Meeting the challenges of biker bias
Other factors also come into play and make motorcycle accidents difficult cases. The public in general views motorcyclists with a bias that does not exist toward other motorists. Bikers have a reputation for being rebels and risk takers, and they are labeled as dangerous. Their bikes are
loud, and they dart in and out between cars. Based on motorcycle accident research called the Hurt Study, it is a proven fact that other drivers rarely see a biker until just before or at the moment of impact. Seeing the motorcycle right before the impact does not allow enough time to avoid an accident.
Many people have the experience of nearly missing a motorcycle and cursing under their breath as the biker flies by. Furthermore, cars far outnumber motorcycles on all types of thoroughfares. So it is no wonder why juries do not hold motorcyclists in a favorable light. A Scranton motorcycle accident lawyer in Lackawanna County or anywhere in the United States will tell you that biker bias is a common challenge they face when pursuing compensation for a motorcycle accident.
Despite the fact of biker bias, the Hurt Study revealed that other drivers violated the motorcycle's right-of-way in two-thirds of all motorcycle accidents. It also found that intersections were the most common locations for such accidents to occur.
