Motorcycle Accident Lawyers In Berks County
Top Rated Motorcycle Accident Lawyer-Rider In Berks County
In the opinion of many avid motorcycle riders, Berks County is one the best places to be riding. There are a great many places to ride here including rolling countrysides, winding roads and straightaways where you can open up the throttle a bit and get in the "zone".Noone who rides expects to get in an accident but it is always in the back of the rider's minds because the consequences are far more dire. Are all motorcycle accidents avoidable? One can do much to avoid being in an accident that is the fault of another motorist by maintaining constant vigilance in anticipating another driver's actions. Unfortunately, despite all caution some accidents are unavoidable. Being in a motorcycle accident cannot compare to being in a car accident where you are protected by the body of the car. The motorcycle crash is probably one of the most frightening types of accidents and can happen in a split second because of the tremendous and immediate force of the impact. The motorcyclist is not restrained by a seat belt and is often thrown off the bike by the speed and forces involved, often resulting in painful and debilitating injuries.

Its always important to remember, in Pennsylvania the insurance company pays you for your claim or when a lawsuit is filed, not the actual party involved unless they are a large company who is self-insured.

Auto/Truck Drivers and Motorcyclists
Many vehicle drivers don't pay attention to motorcycles on the road, or they don't adjust their driving for motorcycles in traffic. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-area motorcycle accident lawyers at The Brod Law Firm are quite familiar with the motorcycle accident liability issues surrounding such vehicle or motorcycle collisions. Indeed, in many motorcycle accidents, a distracted or inattentive car, truck, or SUV driver is negligent. Common motorcycle accidents of this kind occur when the car, truck, or SUV driver:
- turns directly in front of an oncoming motorcyclist
- pulls out into traffic in front of a motorcycle
- misinterprets the speed or handling capability of a motorcycle on the road
- at an intersection, fails to yield the right-of-way to a motorcycle rider
- runs through a stop sign or a red light
- never notices the motorcyclist on the street or freeway
- is distracted at the wrong moment, or
- is driving while intoxicated
Motorcyclists who have been injured in a collision with a car, truck, SUV or other vehicle are entitled to compensation if the defendant was negligent.
Motorcycle Accident Statistics
As the Berks County, Pennsylvania-area motorcycle accident lawyers at The Brod Law Firm can confirm, motorcycle accidents are not a rare occurrence. In fact, according to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), roughly 4,500 motorcyclists were killed in traffic across the United States in 2005, and another 87,000 were injured. In 2005 in Pennsylvania alone, 205 motorcyclists died in traffic accidents.
The NHTSA also reported in 2004 that motorcyclists are 34 times more likely to die and eight times more likely to be injured in a motor vehicle accident compared to occupants of a passenger car, figured per vehicle-mile.Contact the Berks County Motorcycle accident lawyers at the top rated The Brod Law Firm if you've been injured or a family member has been killed in a motorcycle accident — we have the experience and skills to help you at this difficult time.

Motorcycle Riding — Advantages and Risks in Berks County
Motorcycle riding provides an individual with many advantages:
- saving money on gas
- less effect on the environment
- easy parking
- ability to use carpool lanes
- the “wind in your hair” (or helmet) feeling
However, because motorcycle operators are much more exposed than the occupants of cars or trucks, motorcyclists often experience major injuries and fatalities, compared to minor injuries usually sustained by passengers of the cars, SUVs, and trucks that collide with motorcycles.
Moderate motorcycle accident injuries include head, neck, and back injuries, as well as broken bones, cuts and bruises, and other soft-tissue injuries. For motorcyclists, severe injuries are often sustained in the event of a collision, including brain damage, spinal fractures, and internal damage. These types of injuries can be followed by medical, rehabilitation, and home care expenses, loss of income, and disability.
DUI Limits Have Changed
The legal blood alcohol limit for operating a motorcycle or other motor vehicle in Pennsylvania and most states has been reduced — from 1.0 to .08 (g/dL).
It's not very hard to achieve a blood alcohol limit of .08, so be careful. There is a major nationwide crackdown on driving while under the influence, and the penalties are not pleasant. The penalties are far more severe for motorcyclists than for automobile operators, and they include substantial fines, license suspension, and incarceration.
Note also that the refusal to submit to a breathalyzer test can result in a license suspension.Contact our Reading, Philadelphia and Bala motorcycle accident injury attorneys to find out more about the consequences of a DUI charge.
