Why Injured Riders Turn To Us

After a motorcycle crash, injured riders are often left dealing with medical treatment, missed work, and insurance companies that move quickly to limit or deny claims. At Piscitello Law, we represent motorcyclists across Pennsylvania and focus on holding negligent drivers accountable for the harm they cause.

  • Riders often feel blamed after a crash, especially when drivers say they “did not see” them or insurers shift fault onto the motorcyclist. At Piscitello Law, we represent injured riders across Pennsylvania and focus on building cases around the facts of what happened.
  • Our team handles motorcycle and bicycle crash cases and understands how visibility issues, road design, and driver inattention contribute to collisions. We analyze key details such as intersection layout, lane position, and signal timing to support liability claims.
  • Lead attorney Joseph Piscitello has focused his practice on roadway injury cases and cycling advocacy. Our firm has recovered compensation for clients with serious injuries through detailed case preparation and negotiation with insurance companies.
  • We investigate all responsible parties, challenge unfair fault assumptions, and gather evidence showing how drivers failed to yield, misjudged distance, or were not attentive. This approach is used to strengthen every motorcycle injury claim we handle.

Common Motorcycle Crashes In Pennsylvania

Motorcycle crashes in Pennsylvania often happen in a few recurring ways, especially in heavy traffic, at intersections, and on roads with changing conditions. These patterns can help explain how a collision occurred and what factors may have contributed to a rider’s injuries.

  • Left-turn collisions at intersections when drivers cut across a motorcyclist’s path or misjudge their speed
  • Unsafe lane changes when drivers fail to check blind spots before merging into a motorcycle’s lane
  • Dooring incidents when parked car occupants open doors into the path of an approaching rider
  • Rear-end collisions caused by distracted driving or following a motorcycle too closely
  • Drivers drifting into a motorcycle’s lane due to inattention or fatigue
  • Failure to yield at intersections, side streets, or driveways
  • Road hazards such as potholes, gravel, uneven pavement, or slick surfaces causing loss of control
  • Multi-vehicle collisions where a motorcycle is caught in chain-reaction traffic crashes

What To Do After A Motorcycle Crash

After a motorcycle crash, get medical care right away, even if injuries seem minor. Call 911, collect the other driver’s information, witness contacts, and photos of the scene if you can, and avoid discussing fault or apologizing. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurance company before speaking with a motorcycle accident lawyer Pennsylvania riders can trust.

 

Helpful steps to consider after a motorcycle crash:

  • Seek emergency care or see a doctor as soon as possible.
  • Follow medical advice and keep records of visits and diagnoses.
  • Preserve your helmet, clothing, and damaged motorcycle parts.
  • Save photos, witness contacts, and any crash related paperwork.
  • Contact an attorney to review your rights before dealing with insurers.

At Piscitello Law, we regularly speak with injured road users who are not sure whether they handled things the right way after a crash. Our goal is to meet you where you are, look at the facts, and help you make informed decisions about the next steps.

  • We work on a contingency fee basis, with no upfront cost and payment only if compensation is recovered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Really Need A Lawyer For My Motorcycle Crash?

You are not required to hire a lawyer, but many riders find it helpful. Motorcycle claims often involve serious injuries and disputes about fault. Having our team review the facts can help you understand your rights, avoid common insurance pitfalls, and decide whether formal representation is the right step.

How Much Does It Cost To Hire Your Team?

Your first consultation with us is free. If we agree to take your case, we typically work on a contingency fee, which means our fee is a percentage of what we recover for you. We can explain specific terms in detail before you decide how to proceed.

What If The Police Report Says I Was Partly At Fault?

A police report is important, but it is not the final word on fault. We often see reports that miss details or rely on limited statements. Our team can review the report, investigate further, and explain how Pennsylvania’s comparative negligence rules may apply to your situation.

How Long Will A Motorcycle Case In Pennsylvania Take?

The length of a case depends on factors such as injury severity, medical recovery, and how willing insurers are to negotiate. Some claims resolve in several months, while others take longer. We can usually give a more tailored estimate after learning the details of your crash.

Have You Handled Cases Like Mine In Philadelphia?

Our practice has long focused on road crashes involving cyclists and pedestrians in Philadelphia and nearby communities. Many of those collisions involve the same streets, intersections, and traffic patterns that affect motorcyclists. We can discuss whether we have handled matters similar to yours during your consultation.
