Motorcycle accidents can cause some of the most serious injuries on our roads. It’s easy to see why: motorcycles offer drivers no protection from hazards such as collisions with other vehicles. If a negligent driver injured you while you were riding your motorcycle, you’ll need an experienced motorcycle injury attorney in Pittston to secure you the proper compensation.
Mecadon Law has been winning justice for our clients for more than 30 years. Don’t take chances with anyone else. Call 570-654-5030 to schedule a no-cost consultation on your injuries, and we’ll take care of everything.
If you’ve been injured by another party while riding your motorcycle, you should call a motorcycle accident attorney as soon as possible.
As we always remind our clients, the Pennsylvania statute of limitations on personal injuries from motorcycle accidents is two years. That seems like a long time, but it actually isn’t when you consider how much evidence goes into securing compensation in an injury case.
If another party injured you on your motorcycle while on the road, call Mecadon Law as soon as you can. We’ll start collecting evidence right away and handle all the heavy lifting while you focus on what’s most important, which is to recover from your injuries and be with your loved ones.
Motorcyclists have as much right as anyone else to share the road, and yet so few motorists give them the space they need while driving. From the Pittston Bypass to William St. to Kennedy Blvd., a little awareness on our streets goes a long way. Sometimes, though, motorcycle accidents come down to other drivers simply being too lax in their movements.
The most common causes of motorcycle accidents include the following:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Reckless driving
- Failing to see a motorcycle
- Changing lanes without looking
- Following a motorcycle too closely
- Opening car doors without checking for approaching motorcycles
- Defective motorcycles
- Poor road maintenance
- Bad weather
As we have seen over the years at Mecadon Law, motorcycle accidents can be particularly serious because riders don’t have the infrastructure of a car to protect them from the brunt of a collision. When you’re riding a motorcycle, it’s you and the road. Other motorists have to respect that, but when they don’t, life-changing injuries can result.
Here are some of the most common motorcycle accident injuries riders sustain:
- Head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
- Spinal cord injuries
- Broken bones
- Soft tissue injuries
- Organ damage
- Internal bleeding
- Road rash
- Lacerations
- Burns
- Amputations
- Wrongful death
If you or a loved one has suffered any of these injuries in a motorcycle accident that wasn’t your fault, you need a Pittston motorcycle wreck attorney. Mecadon Law is proud to represent you while fighting for the compensation you need to recover from your losses.
Motorcycle accidents can result in serious injuries for motorcyclists. It’s up to other motorists to look out for motorcycles. When they don’t, and you get injured, you need to seek restitution for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Mecadon Law can help. We have been winning for our clients for more than 30 years. Call 570-654-5030 to schedule a no-cost consultation with us. Let’s secure you the settlement you need to recover and move on.
